30-minute Router Table - WOOD magazine

Thank you, excellent video

Very simple but effective. Just the type of router table that i need, since my work calls for only occasional use. Thanks for sharing .

Wonderful thank you.

Why not make the fence permanent?

I have a DW618, would MDF be enough support? I have 1/2" MDF, and I was going to lay 3/4th" milimine on top.

Maybe took you 30 minutes. Probably take me all day. Nice project though.

Thank you wanted a simple idea for a router table.❤❤❤❤

This is a good one that anyone can make with just wood and one tool.

Just the video I needed to go and make a router table. Much appreciated

Do people still hide cash?

What are approximate dimensions

Could 1/2 inch plywood be used, since I would be using a trim router?

Best video i saw so far, thank you ^^

To make your router on and off switch add an extension cord with a on off button and put it on the side of the table, this way you don't have to go underneath to shut off or on :)

Thank you for posting this video,I found it really interesting and a great little project that I will try to copy. Thank you once again.

I love it!

Just make sure that fence is secure. My 1 injury from a woodworking machine was due to a fence slipping on a homemade router table.

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do not have an easy to locate and use "on/off switch". I have one on my router table and I am happy that I installed it. It is good for both safety and convenience.

do NOT build stationary tools with battery powered tools.
they dont have an emergency switch and to turn them off you have to reach under the table.
at least use wired tools and connect them to a switched powerstrip. that way in an emergency you can hit the switch or at least yank the cable to stop the tool.
a proper outlet with an emergency button would be even better.

This should be called “How to save 400$”

Simple ideas work all the time.

Good concept - thanks for posting. Thumbs up.

I'll use one of those? Sure will ... been using one just like it for the last 8 years! lol It's just a flat piece of MDF (no cleats) that I place on saw horses. I leave my Bosch fixed base attached and store it upside down when not in use -- makes it easy to slap the router in when I need to use it. The great thing about the Bosch base is you can adjust the height from the top with an allen wrench. I did just recently make an improved L-fence with adjustable fronts and dust collection ... works great!

I used to buy an expensive used routers anytime I could find one and use up scraps of plywood or MDF and now I have several tiny router tables smaller than this, that I use for roundovers of different size. Never have to mess around with changing bits.

Thanks

Fantastic idea, works great. Thanks for the idea, tip
