- Build a router table in 30 minutes? You bet! Jim builds one from scrap material and takes off routing. Slap this together if it's your first router table, if you're in need of something portable, or even if you just want to avoid switching between two bit setups. Heck, build two of 'em.

This is a good one that anyone can make with just wood and one tool.
Wonderful thank you.
Very simple but effective. Just the type of router table that i need, since my work calls for only occasional use. Thanks for sharing .
Just the video I needed to go and make a router table. Much appreciated
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.
I used MDF and sealed it with primer then painted it. MDF comes apart if it ever got wet👍 works great
I use hard wax oil to seal MDF for shop “furniture.” Unlike paint, hard wax oil really soaks into the wood, especially MDF. I’ve used it on my MFTs, and most jigs, whether made of MDF or plywood.
Fantastic idea, works great. Thanks for the idea, tip
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!
Thank you wanted a simple idea for a router table.❤❤❤❤
I love it!
Thanks
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best video i saw so far, thank you ^^
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.
Simple ideas work all the time.
Simple ideas simply work.
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 :)
Doesn't work there.
It's battery operated.
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.
You are right, of course, and a great safety reminder. I'll add a strip of 'great tape' non-slip rug tape under the fence on the one I'll build, then the quick clamps should hold it very solidly.
Not a bad shout bit of skateboard grip or something on the bottom of the fence should hang on nicely
Good concept - thanks for posting. Thumbs up.
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.
Could 1/2 inch plywood be used, since I would be using a trim router?
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.
Good for you!
@@davidp5492 BINGO. I was thinking the same thing. Just pick the table up and turn it on. I have M18 router and have been looking for just this thing
What are approximate dimensions
Why not make the fence permanent?
Sometimes you’ll want to make a dado going down the middle of a workpiece, requiring adjustment of the fence. So basically any time you’re not just doing edge work you’ll need to be able to adjust the fence. And sometimes you don’t even need to use the fence because the guide bearings on the router bit itself follow the edge of your workpiece. I don’t know if you’ll see this comment but I hope it helps!
This should be called “How to save 400$”
Maybe took you 30 minutes. Probably take me all day. Nice project though.
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.
Jesus....
For most corded routers, you would need to reach under the table to turn them off in an emergency, too. Remote power switches are are handy and useful, but not required.
@@Wood show me the corded router that keeps running if you pull the plug or switch off the powerstrip its connected to...
my point is: a battery powered device will ONLY turn off via the switch that is under the table.
corded devices offer a variety of options to turn them off in addition to the switch on the device. starting from hitting the breaker to taking an axe to the powercord.
disregarding even most basic workplace safety without even mentioning potential dangers of such a setup gives your channel a real bad image.
Agreed 100% second thing that made me cringe. The first was the fence being secured with nothing but clamps. 😑
@TheScarvig The ultimate safety tip is to never use woodworking tools.
Do people still hide cash?
