Don't suppose you have the plans for this? :)
Honestly? No. The top is 60cm x 40cm, the fence is 10cm x 60cm and 6cm wide. The bottom part is just long enough to go on the braces. And the pieces glue the top are just bigger than the router base so that you can clamp on them. Feel free to make yours smaller or bigger.
Don’t suppose you have the plans for your great build totally fantastic thank you mark
seriously? its self explanatory
@@rubo1964 Wow! I'm not as smart as you or as quick to pick things up...Be respectful, genius.
Linda Martin You shouldn’t admit that on the Internet.
That's absolutely brilliant mate and reminds me I need a router table you made that one look so simple to make 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks man! Glad you found it useful!
If you need plans to make this you don't need a router!
Definitely one of the more unique ways I’ve seen someone raise and lower the bit
Thanks!
FINALLY!!!!! Someone with a plunge router makes a router table and addresses the Plunge part!!!!!! Thank you soooo much. Off to build my own.
This is awesome and I really want to make one now! One question, did you free hand the inset?
you definately need a sign outside your shop which says: "Genius at work!"
proper work bro, as always!! clean, funcional, simple & low cost are just a few qualities of your crafts - what could you expect more of a tool?
you're an idol to me Ollari! thanks alot for your videos, they're much appreciated!
That's too kind of you! I really appreciate your words! Thank you!
Vielen Dank, das ist tatsächlich mal ein Tisch, der ohne Schnick-Schnack auskommt. Schön, das Du begriffen hast, wie unnötig ein Parallelanschlag ist, den man bei einem Routertable tatsächlich nicht braucht, ein "normaler" Anschlag reicht völlig. Die Idee mit dem Wagenheber ist genial und ohne großen Aufwand umzusetzen. Statt eines eigenen Unterbaus für den Tisch, nimmst Du einfach eine Werkbank, super! Die Einzelteile sind in einer kleinen Werkstatt gut zu verstauen und nehmen nicht so viel Platz weg.
A clear straight forward description of a practical project. Now I see a way to set up a router table using equipment I already have. Thank you.
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
That lift made me actually laugh out loud. Great idea!
Thanks man!
Um welchen Lift handelt es sich.
Ist echt ne coole Idee.
Keine Ahnung wie es heißt. Bin nicht deutsch. Scheren Wagenheber vielleicht?
OK, Danke. Scheren Wagenheber ist das richtige.
Thanks for your answer!
Gerne!
I don't have a lot of spare room in my shop so I've been wracking my head/scouring the internet to come up with an idea for a quick and easy table. Tried a few other methods that didn't work out so well. Your idea, as others have said, is pure genius. Especially the clamping blocks underneath for the workbench!
I'm glad you like it!
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Yet another use for a “workmate” type bench. Great thing here: you don’t really “use up” anything permanently except the wood itself and a few screws/nails- the router, the bench, and even the jack are easy to remove, with under one minutes effort. Great design.
Cheers Jim
A jack to crank it up and down. Perfect for my 2 1/2 hp Harbor Freight plunge router. I bought a Bosch RA1181 Router Table days ago, and it looks like its not going to work with a lot of modifications. Will be sending it back.
Great stuff! Brilliant idea for the lift :) Also good to see someone using relatively cheaper equipment and make them do top work in a clean shop!
Köszönöm szépen István! Örülök hogy tetszett!
Hahahaha, the car jack was a brilliant idea.... I wouldn 't have thought of that.
nice video
Very cool router table and super Lifting System! :-)
Thank you!
Clean
Nice use of a scissor jack.
Hi, great idea, but, how do you keep both switches pressed? I am thinking of a tie wrap and setting on/off other way
Nice
Perfect just what I needed for my small workshop Thank you my friend .Peter fae Scotland the UK.
Awesome! Glad you found it useful.
This came at the exact time where I was trying to figure out this build! Thank you so much! Now I'm completely confident that I can accomplish this myself! Many blessings to you!
That's awesome! Have fun making!
Nice idea and i have a wolfcraft table standing arround. THX. cheers from my channel. Arne
Thanks Arne!
Dude I’ve seen first hand commercial spaces with much more expensive router tables have much worse dust collection. You did a great job
Brilliant. Car jack is a stroke of genius
sure...not : has stollen idea... - -û- -°°°
@@fred-san The car jack is a stroke of genius, even if this guy used the idea, whoever first thought of it had a stroke of genius....
I use the same router lift lol. Really easy to dial in. My setup is similar but it’s attached to my miter station. I showed it in my plywood challenge video. Cheap and easy.. love it!!!!
Some great lateral thinking Ollari. Thanks for publishing the video
Thanks! And thank you very much for way!
Nice video (great music, right to beat of the nail gun :) excellent router table idea!! Thanks for posting.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
OMG! that last bit with the scissor jack was the "pièce de résistance".
Very interesting build. ^5
Thanks Skippy!
Simple and easy. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for watching!
A scissor jack. Absolutely brilliant!
Great video ...very helpful thanks.
Less is more!
Genau das was ich suche für meine 32 Jahre alte Black & Decker Workmade 2,die im übrigen für nahezu alle Arbeiten herhalten muss,ob als Sägetisch für die Kapp und Zugsäge,oder zum bohren.
genious!
Blooming genius dude, thank you
That lift mechanism is genius
Looking to build a table, watched many videos and yours is exactly what I am looking for, great video! I noticed at times, you use 2 different glue bottles, any reason? And, on one piece, you sprayed immediately after applying glue, what was it that you sprayed? Again, great video!
genius
Parkside are not bad then... nice idea.
Thank you!
Como bloqueas el interruptor de seguridad de la fresadora? Esta maquina tiene 2 botones que es necesario presionar al mismo tiempo para que funcione. Gracias.
How do you block the security router switch? This machine have 2 switch you have to press at the same time to turn on it. Thank you
Those Work Mate tables are very handy and Strong.
Great use of a scissor jack - since they're pretty worthless at lifting a car ;)
Yeah I hate them, even more than those cheap small bottle jacks...
I borrowed my dad's van when I was a kid in high school - and I got a flat. The scissor jack that came with the van would not fit under the chassis of the van when the tire was flat!!! It would only fit under the vehicle when the tires were inflated. Ever since then I've owned a proper floor jack.
Haha! Yeah I know those problems!
Go to a car graveyard... you'll find plenty of them in all sizes :-)
HI.This is great. What thickness of ply did you use. 25mm?
Thanks! 18mm
Simple , but effective. Did you remove the spring from the router?
Great video, I'm making this right now. Could you tell me what the product is that you coat the table surface with please. Thanks, Paul
Clear lacquer.
@@Ollaris Ok, thanks, I was trying to read the product name on the tub but couldn't quite see it, cheers, Paul
No worries, It’s written in Hungarian.
@@Ollaris Aha, Hungarian! Now I get it. Thanks, Paul
Thank for NOT playing horrible LOUD MUSIC
Hola buen día 🖐️buen proyecto 👍, en el minuto 2:00 le aplica un spray para secar la cola de pegado? Si es así como se llama el producto?, Agradecería me indicara el nombre, gracias y saludos cordiales desde Chile 🇨🇱
Nice job dude, what was the spray? Superglue activator on PVA??? Tell you what you could o next. Adapt the winders on the bench to move the fence back and forth.
The lift is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! You got to love that!! Thanks for sharing and truly a awesome idea!
Thanks a lot Becky!
This is the best I've seen so far... but I don't think one of these sorts of supporting tables is really sufficient: I think you need to clamp it to a sturdy, heavy workbench. There was a jump cut at one point (@3.53) and I was wondering whether that was because the table wobbled a bit. The forces unleashed by a router are immense. Great relief to see you using push sticks for everything.
A lot of the comments are about the lift, which does indeed look very nice. However, having never used a router before and planning to buy one, I thought they tended to come with a built in depth adjustment? Anyway nice video with nice soothing music! I’m getting complaints at home from all of the RUclips powertool noises. :D
Honestly, most of the Plunge ones are just spring loaded and you push them to the depth you want to make the cut and lock it in place. You have the fix based ones where you need a fixture/lift so that you can use them upside down. It's nice to hear your opinion about the music, I mostly just get a comment that people would rather hear the tool noises.
Nice job, the use of the jack is just ingenious! It made me laugh and then made me feel stupid for not thinking of this idea myself. Cracking job mate 👍🏻
Thank you very much!
I have one welded to a large frame under my bench, this is worked from a foot winder and lifts and drops my bench on and off the castors.
Brilliant! Beautiful! Fabulous! Ingenious! Wundebar! Just the solution I need. Thank you!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Really nice idea and great work. Thanks for this Video.
King regards from my Channel Konstantin
Thanks Konstantin!
Wow great job ;-)
Thank you!
Why is that wooden piece around the handle (3:02)? Is that to keep the switch on while the router is under the table?
Thanks and well done for making a really concise vid that does exactly what it says in the tin. One question though, did you use the existing baseplate screws to attache the router directly to the plywood (ie. bolting the router from top -> down, through recessed holes through the ply) or were there other holes in the router via which you screwed directly into the ply (from bottom -> top)? Confused? I am ;-)
Thank you! Yes i used the screw holes that the baseplate attaches to, just bought a couple of longer screws.
Oh, I'm so going to make one! First I need to buy a router though.
Got a question. Perhaps somebody could answer this. When he glues up a couple of pieces, he sprays them down with something in an aerosol spray can. What is that stuff and what does it do? I'm not familiar with it.
It's an activator for the CA glue. So it bonds instantly.
Very clever. I'm gunna make one.
Sempre il solito genio, grande 😊😀
Grazie!
Wow!!! 200% for creativity
Very, very slick. Only problem seems to be that your workmate is rather wobble. Subbed!
Quick and easy DYI portable table but where are the measurements and tips on making this?
Hi. Excellent. Just what I was looking for. But I would love to know how you keep the router switched on, given the way the starting mechanism works. I have the same router and this is the problem I cannot solve. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Thanks! You just need to buy a safety switch box the one I linked in the description of the video and use a clamp to keep the trigger pushed in. (A zip tie or a wooden wedge would also work.)
What was tbe spray u sprayed on the triangle gussets??? Guessing some kind of excellerent
Yes it was for the CA glue
Just found this on you tube ...pure genius!! I am definitely making this I have already ordered a scissor jack from the auction site and I have a spare collapsible bench .. Thank you so much for sharing .,Brilliant !,
Parkside for life.
Bloody brilliant. I have been trying for ages to work out an easy way to make a router table to suit my plunge router. This is the best method I've seen yet. What's more - I have everything I need in the shed to make an exact copy of what you have shown here. Thanks mate.
Thank you very much! Happy to help! Have fun making it!
Un filino macchinoso con il crick che fa da sollevatore....
Good joob perfekt
Simple, yet extremely clever. Thanks for sharing the idea.
Thanks for your tutorial video, that’s a great simplistic design, 🤙
That jack idea is SICK! Now I wanna put all my tools on jacks, whether they need them or not, 😂
Hahahaha 🤣
That was awesome. Thanks for posting. Ive been looking building a router table and yours is just the design i was looking for. Thank you.
Simple and easy. Thanks for sharing!
Klasse! Endlich mal ein Kanal ohne viel Geschrei oder Gehetze! Alles sehr chillig...Bastlerwerkzeuge und kein Millionen teurer Maschinenpark! Weiter So...Abo lass ich da!
Dankeschön !
Я узнал штамп на фанере, plywood from Belarus Pinskdrev.
I like it. Well done. Will be making this. Thanks mate👍
Can nobody use a fucking handheld saw to make a simple cut in a piece of wood anymore!
Did the same thing with my worm drive saw to use a temporary table saw. Great video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Mike!
Eu fiz uma mesa de bancada usando um macaco de elevação da uma olhada lá .muito bom seu video
Very nice! Easy to do make it with basic tools. You gave me a veri good idea. Thank you!
Köszi szépen! Örülök hogy tetszik! Sok sikert a kivitelezéshez!
Schönen Dank für das Video! habe gerade auch vor aus einem ausrangierten Schreibtisch einen Frästisch zu bauen. Da ich aber auch diese mobile Werkbank habe, bin ich am überlegen ob ich nicht deine Lösung lieber nehmen sollte....
Vielen Dank Jens! Ja der Schreibtisch ist super wenn man den Platz dafür hat. Da ich aber wenig Raum habe und die Fräse nicht so oft benutze finde ich das für meine Bedürfnisse besser.
very very clever solution! thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much!
very chill song to go with the video- well played
Hi did you leave springs on the router?do you lock lever after lifting or not required?thsnks
Yes, the springs are still in the router. I recommend to lock it always.
@@Ollaris ok thanks.i have a laboratory jack i hope it will be able to lift against the springs
And if not, you can push it up by hand if the springs aren’t too stiff.
@@Ollaris do you leave it under tension on the jack?
Congratulation for the project. Sorry where can l buy your vinyl glue container?
Thank you very much! I have a link in the description.
That's very cool. But what is the router riding along to ensure it stays square up and down? I didn't see any rails or rods to guide it up and down? I'd like to build this but need the answer here. Thanks.
Thanks Scott. As this is a plunge router it has the rods to keep it go straight up and down. This won't work with a fixed base router.
Bonito trabajo, saludos desde Punta Umbría-Huelva-España.
Excellent idea! Love it! What is the thickness of a main table top?
18mm
Did I miss , how you fixed the router ? @1:20 thought you only marked
Maybe can You continue this series, topola which could be put in the portable WORK table? Circular saw, jigsaw. For a little or balcony workshops.
In the. Last place. I lived. In for. Nearly. 20 years. I utilized. A. Workmate. And a similar. Router. Table. Set up. Whenever. The need. Arose. Due to. Storage. Restraints. And. Versatility. In whatever. I was. Building. At that. Time. Mine. Was a much. More. Simpler. Version than the. One. You. Made. But. It. Did the. Job. I was. Lucky enough to. Have. A. Large. Cabinet shop. To use. At my disposal. On weekends. And off. Hours. If. I needed. It. As. The owner. Of a. Company. I worked. For. Allowed. The. Employees. The. Use. Of our. Company. Shop. If we needed. Or desired. It. As well. As. Giving us access to. Several. Millions. Of dollars. Worth of equipment. And. Supplies. That. We could. Pay. Back. At. Our. Leisure ! Yes. It was. A cool place. To work. And. I did. Stay with. Them. For. Almost. 20. Years. And actually. Liked my job.
Craig Monteforte Stop. Doing. That. It’s. Very. Annoying.
by the way,
nice music
That is genius, so simple but so functional! I love the incorporation of the jack, that is fantastic. Can't wait to build this for myself and finally have a router table!
ciao, bellissimo video, ti chiedo a quale distanza dal bordo del piano hai posizionato la recinzione? Grazie
