I m building an offset-style router table for an LS system. What are the ideal dimensions?
The outside dimensions aren’t particularly important but the distances from the router’s center to the table’s edges are worth considering. Parallel to the fence, the infeed edge of the table should be between 12″ and 16″ (more than 16″ can make the table uncomfortable to use). Parallel to the positioner’s carriage, the edge of the table should be 29″ from the router’s center for LS17 Systems and 37″ from the router’s center for LS25 Systems. There is quite a bit of latitude for shortening these ideal dimensions, and the LS Positioner’s base housing also does not need to be mounted fully on the router table; it can be mounted so that as much as 6″ of the base housing’s length projects off the edge of the router table.
