Re: Homemade Horizontal Router Table

I had the opportunity to see and use the HRT in person. I was building a craftsman style Deacons bench that needed 28 mortise and tenons joints. I don't own a bench-top mortiser, and actually I prefer to use a router. I looked at several jigs (shop made and purchased), OT offered to show me what he was working on. I took my bench parts to his shop and we cut all the mortises in less than 3-hours. Once the HRT is set for a cut, you can reproduce as many as you need with no additional set-up, great for table legs or other applications where you need the same set up on multiple pieces. I've got a set of plans and will build one for my own shop.
