Router Table Plans

platinumLLC

I don't do much routing but occasionally I need to pull out the routers. I would like to build a router table but since I haven't used a table much I don't really know what plan is good or what features I should include. I would like this to be portable and budget friendly since I won't use it that much but also want something that can do a variety of things when I need a router table. Does anyone have any plans that they can share or pics of a nice homebuilt router table? Thanks for the help

There's a good one at Fine Woodworking. Google Fine Woodworking and Rock Solid router table, it should come up.

I used that design for the top and altered it a bit for the base: shorter, detachable legs and base to make it portable. Also put a handhold on the bottom side of the top to ease carrying.

It's now sturdy and maneuverable. I like it.

Served me nicely so far. Better than the little mini tables PC, Bosch and all the others sell.

If you aren't using it much or you need to transport it around, then I would purchase a pre-built collapsible table.

You'd be hard pressed to make a table better than this one that is collapsible, easy to store, with decent features for $200. However may need to fasten it down when using.
