Thanks for sharing and posting the photo. I'm impressed with the design. Note, the knee bolster. Most tables, omit that feature. It allows the user, to get close to the work. The T-slots in both the table and the fence top are another good feature,that some manufactures omit Lots of well thought out storage too.

there seems to be lots of manufacturers selling expensive router tables these days. actually all you need is a flat surface to attach your router to and a fence. these can be as basic or as fancy as you care them to be but they all do the same operations. it's the techniques that make a router table such a fantastic tool not the bells and whistles

<p>I saw a video on you tube where a man used a 12X12 marble tile as a router insert</p>
<p>he cut a 2" hole for the bit and drilled countersunk holes for the screws that hold the router to the tile.</p>
<p>He then routed an opening in some wood he had for the tile to fit flush.</p>
<p>but you can make your own top from MDF this would keep the cost low.</p>

<p>There are some great replies given here. So, I guess my 2 cents won't hurt. I built a work bench with a built in router table. (My photos) If you can use the base that come with your unit and on your table, cut your hole and rout the depth of the base and drop your unit in that. Most routers today come with a wrench that will raise and lower your router if mounted in a base.. I was fortunate to find a smooth cutting board and using my original base made a duplicate base.

You will in the future want to add a fence, so plan for that as well. Under my router table, I boxed it in and attached it to my dust collection system. That really works great.</p> Thanks Keith.

<p>Thanks Keith. I did see the video and liked the design. Ideally, I can use my craftsman router if I can find a plate to fit.</p>
