The Maker Hub’s Router Table is not a table full of Wi-Fi routers. Rather than managing internet connection, the SawStop Router Table in the Maker Hub’s wood shop can be used to make custom moldings and slots in workpieces.

Router tables are extremely versatile in the types of cuts they can perform. Holes and channels of varying depths and nearly limitless shapes can be cut. The router table can also use special bits to cut bevels and chamfers along the edges of a workpiece. Check out this video to see how it works, and visit the Maker Hub’s wiki page for more information.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
