Mini Router Table

An elegant small table for a trim router, with built-in dust collection and a cam-actuated fence. Highly versatile, and yet takes up little space in your shop.
For complete plans for this project, see my website: psullivancarmel.wixsite.com/t...
The DeWalt 611 router I used that fits this table: amzn.to/2UK90uH
For polycarbonate sheet, first check the scrap bin at stores that handle plastic, such as Tap Plastics. Since you only need a very small piece, this will be your cheapest option. You can also buy it online through Small Parts, Amazon, and dozens of other suppliers.
Aluminum strips are carried in most hardware stores, and can be ordered online.
The cam lever shown is from Rockler, part #58244. They also supply T-track, although nearly identical products can be ordered from dozens of other sources.
Router guide bushing sets at reasonable prices are sold by Porter Cable, Powertec, and Kempston. Here is the link for the Powertec 71051 on Amazon: amzn.to/2EwiTHr
I have no relationship with DeWalt, and have not received anything from them in return for my recommendation.

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzfaq.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

This is what makes KZfaq fun. Free plans like days of old. A nicely done project an video. Everyone wants to sell something an has to me ruined KZfaq. It was really fun years ago until most all have tried to be a business with it.

As always, reading the comments is a mixed bag. All i know is, this is my third Patrick Sullivan video, and i'm hooked. I've built my brother a new router table that i've designed with the help of other you tubers, and i'm scrapping the whole thing after seeing this. I just downloaded the plans, and hope i can get it to him by christmas. I'm slammed with building a large (10' x14.8') cabinet, but will whittle away at this most cleverly designed, and versatile little table that will be perfect for bro's two car garage shop that he still manages to keep two cars in. Anyone that can't see the awesomeness of this table over a store bought one either doesn't do any actual work with these types of tools, or is simply trolling. Patrick, if you read this, sincere thanks for giving back to a trade that must of given you something wonderful to allow you the joy of sharing all of this to all of us. It is appreciated believe me!

This video is only 16 minutes long. So far I think I've spent about 16 hours trying to duplicate it, and I'm like... 70% of the way done? Maybe? Brilliant video and plans though. Thank you! Here's hoping I can get it finished to give as a gift for Christmas.

@timkaiser8149 3 жыл бұрын

Finished it, and it's a beauty! Note that if you use a method like Patrick's, where your ultimate "top" surface is laminated on top of the 3/4" material, you can use the vacuum port exactly as drawn in the plans (Rather than extending it upward as the plans suggest), and extend the solid-surface top right over it for a slightly cleaner look.

I just got this router and thought that it's not a good fit for a router table - I want easy access to it for hand-held routing and template work. I wanted to buy a second, cheaper router and make a table for that. But your design gives me the best of both worlds - great table and easy access to the trim router without the need to buy another tool. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Subbed. EDIT: I'm going to either make this a little taller or get rid of the bottom piece of plywood to be able to just drop the router motor from its base in order to change bits. I might even get a second fixed base for hand-held use and just leave this one in place.

I love doing personal projects and time has no bearing to me. I sometimes have a long term project that I might work on 30 minutes a day or a week. No different then any hobby/job I usually learn things that I apply to other work. If you don’t use your creative mind you no longer become creative. Love this small router build myself. I have a large table and I like to leave it set up for everyday jobs. The small table is ideal for small one off projects and not changing out my large table. Most people use several routers each having different bits. I believe I have at least 5 plus a small battery DeWalt hand router. Keep up the great projects and ignore the haters. I’m 76 years old and learn new things daily. I have seen many wow ideas to use even from projects I will never build but it they can apply to other projects. Excellent work
