For a long time, I wanted to build a benchtop router table for a small workshop. I decided to build a benchtop router table. I have wanted one for some time especially one I could use in a small workshop. I have been using different types of router guides but there are moments a router table would be more suitable and easier to use. You can easily mount the router table to a benchtop using clamps. I made 3 T-tracks - 2 for a table fence or a push fence and one for a crosscut jig as well. The tracks can be used also for hold-down clamps. As an addition, I also made a dust port. BENCHTOP ROUTER TABLE | ROUTER TABLE DIY I started by cutting 2 Plywood desks (40 x 30) for the router table. Glued them together and additionally fixed them with few screws. Then I measured the center of the desk and drilled 4 holes to fix the router and a center hole for router bits. I measured and routed 3 T-tracks using a router dado jig - 2 for a table fence or a push fence and one for a crosscut jig. Then I cut several MDF stips on a circular saw and glued them over the routed dados to form a T-track. Once finished I started building the router fence using plywood and MDF. Cut off the centers to make space for router bits, glued them together, and reinforced them with additional plywood supports. I also built a dust port and glued it to the table fence. To fix the table fence to the table I used plywood sliders and wing nuts. Tips: - Be careful when building the T-tracks. They should not protrude from the table - When gluing MDF strips in the T-tracks be cautious of glue excess. It should not get in the track TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Router table demonstration 01:03 Building the router table 02:57 Attaching the router to the table 06:01 Making a T-tracks 07:52 Cleaning T-track slots 08:16 Cutting MDF strips for T-tracks 09:58 Making router table fence 12:09 Building a dust port 13:24 Assembling all parts together 14:22 Using a benchtop router table MATERIAL USED: - Router - DeWALT D26203 - Plywood, MDF - Sliders - Ply 3 x 2 x 0,65 - Wood Glue, ⌀6mm bolts, ⌀6mm router bit, wing nuts, washers ► Check out some of the other projects as well: Adjustable Router Guide Jig | Router Template for Dados and Squares Make a Circular Saw Track | DIY Circular Saw Guide DIY Table Saw Sled | Small Table Saw Sled Make a Drill Press Stand | Drill Press Stand DIY ► Follow me on: Website - Pinterest - Instagram - If you have any thoughts or questions, let me know in the comments below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
