seeings I have a router table for other things, and 3 routers, I figured may as well slap a router in the wing. I wasn’t going to but this way I can leave a short 3/4″ straight bit in there if I need a dado real quick. I won’t need a fence with dust collection as it will be collected from underneath. I’m working on a lift that will have a lever or dial on the end of the wing, it will have a rod with a cam at below table height, 1/4″ 1/2″ 3/4″ it will be assisted from the plunge springs of the plunge router itself. so no cam below table, turn it once the cam will be set for 1/4″ then turn it again 1/2″ and one more time 3/4″ if you turned it one more time it would go back to below table height again.
So are you going to have a secondary adjustment to zero the 1/4″ to 3/4″ cam? I would think it might be hard to tighten the bit into the router at the exact height.

well here is the thing, it won’t be a router table to do all kinds of things with. I will be set up for this application only, straight dado’s different depths. I will set bit most likely a short 1/2″ shank 3/4″ straight bit and once tightened down and installed adjust cam to zero it out for each height.. So set it at 1/4″ increments on cam put it to 1/4″ and check the height I can shave off cam to it is exactly 1?4″ if cam starts high.
nice. looks good.
made with precision in typical comp56 manner, nice work dude very professional looking
