Build your own DIY router table that is very safe and very accurate. I purchased a large router bit for a piece of furniture I'm building and needed a way to use it safely and accurately. Rather than buy an expensive router table, I purchased the Kreg Router Plate and built the table myself... on the cheap!

Warnings: - Woodworking tools are dangerous. - Routers are probably the most dangerous tool... they have hair triggers and are extremely powerful. Keep in mind, when the router is on, nothing, and I mean nothing, will stop the bit from spinning. - Always unplug the router when installing it into the table, when changing the bit, and/or when doing any other operation other than edge routing a board. Seriously, unplug it 100% of the time. - Always wear eye protection. Ideally, a full face shield. The material you're cutting, or even pieces of the router bit itself, can break off and be thrown at high speeds in unpredictable directions. - Always use a commercial router plate. Never use a thin piece of plywood or a thin board in place of a commercial router plate. The router plate must be durable and router table surface must be thick. This ensures the router will never break away from the table in the unlikely event something jams and both the router fence and material refuse to give.
