      You can buy battery adaptors for most tools also, so with a bit of wiring you could fix a on/off switch to the table.

    This is probably the best video I have seen about building a simple router table that a slightly less competent than average enthusiast can build. I love the way you marked out the measurements using masking tape, and the “Gotcha” warnings were also very helpful. Thanks for putting this out there!

    I really enjoy the look of this table! I'm going to keep my eye open for a black surfaced plywood, looks great (not sure if it's sold here in the US).
    For those watching this that are starter woodworkers or are unsure if you want to put in the track, a very simple solution for the fence is to move those triangular rear supports in a few inches, then simply use clamps on the edges to hold the fence in place. You don't need to worry about it being square to the table as long as it's square to the router bit!

      It's forming plywood used for foundations. Your local building supply may be able to order it. Go to the local builders supply where the framers and builders shop instead of the big box stores. You can also use melamine board with plywood as a backer for a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" total thickness.

    That's a great portable router table, but the one I bought, not portable, is even better and came with a 1 1/2 hrs router. It only took me ten minutes to buy it and it likely cost less than all the materials for that table. Which does not detract from the utility of this great portable table.

    like it Sean . I made a plate to fit a Black and Decker Matrix jig saw attachment . Just housed out the wooden plate to fit jig saw and fitted wedges under it to hold saw in place . Its clamped to the bench too but was hard to fit an easy to use on off switch ,would slide an electrical tie over the drill switch . Then bought an ozito router table , it works real well for smaller jobs .

    This is by far the best looking (IMHO) DIY router table I have seen on You Tube. When I first saw the thumbnail photo of it, I thought you were doing a review of a router table that you had bought commercially. That is meant to be a compliment. I was lucky enough to buy a Ryobi router and table from a guy who just wanted it to do the trim on his kitchen cabinet doors. I only paid 40 bucks for both the table and router! It works beautifully.
    I may build yours at a later date when I need a table with more surface area.
    One last thing, if you have any of that black ply left over, I think it would be really cool to build a small T-square to match your table. Great work, thanks!

Not only does it look different, it is also very practical because you can reach the router from both the front and the back. I will install a Bosch POF 1400 ACE in the table. Of course I bought your plan on Etsy. Thank you very much for this inspiration. Greetings from Germany.

    I really love your channel and do a LOT of DYI projects, having the router, which I bought specifically to build my hobby desk. I have only used the one 1/8th inch slot bit to install T-Slot Edge Moulding with, it has not been used much. I cannot wait to have this built up to be able to work on many different projects, such as more tool DIY hacks... and some diorama and epoxy art beses. Will update with how it goes.

      Hi, really enjoy your videos, made the circular saw guide and now using it for this project. One downer is I am finding it hard to source coated ply in anything less than a bulk order (in the UK that is). Any thoughts out there? Also - how are the transfers made?
