Router table

This is my home made router table. Its almost a metre square as I use it as a layout table as well as routing.
With this machine you can make any type of moulding or shape in long pieces of wood. this and the bandsaw are my main tools.
There is a large makita router underneath the blue plate. I made a very simple raise and lower mechanism which gives me over 50 mm of adjustment
I bought the fence behind the plate. i tried several times but could make anything accurate enough
The table is 2 x 18 mm thick melamine sheets, glued and screwed together, and then edged in Cherry to protect the chipboard.

Its a sliding fence,allowing different sized bits to be used. Theres a neat plastic connection to the rear.
I didnt make the fence, just the table. the fence is made by UJK. Its got lots of T tracks for clamps and feather boards.

I seen the dust removal hose, but where is it attached? I don't see holes in the fence
