In this video, I'm updating my Mobile Workbench with a router table. I use the fence of my DeWALT table saw as the basis. This has many advantages that I talk about in the video. The router table has its own dedicated fence with dust collection. It's a quick build that only requires minimal tools. If you have built my mobile workbench it's definitely something worth considering.
The tools in this video:

Recently I have seen a pretty cool video of a woodworker who uses a piece of wood to add a router to his DeWalt table saw. Pretty ingenious, and cheap too. Unfortunately he doesn't have a fence and suggests moving the wood to the other side of the table to use the fence. This idea appears to be a much better solution and should work out just fine. Thank you so much, for this really clean and easy solution. Using the 2 x 4 in the center of the fence is just brilliant. Great video!

Beautiful build. Looks great! Genius idea with shimming under the top to fix the height. Sign of a good wood worker is being able to solve problems like that. Also just wanted to say, I love that tool wall at the end! That is actually what made me want to comment. Definitely going to watch your video on that soon. Thanks for posting this, and thanks in advance for the other one that I'm sure I'll enjoy!

Rico, thanks for the sketch up plans. love your table saw work station design and use of half laps. Your router fence design riding on your table saw fence with a front that opens up and collects dust is simply brilliant. My fence isn’t quite the same but I can modify to work.

I like the this table design which sharing the fence with the table saw. Is this Marita compact router power enough for a table route usage? I am debating whether buying a regular router(bigger) or a compact/trim router. the Compact router should be good using by one hand but no sure whether is good for table.

@CornerfieldShop 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Joseph, thanks for the comment. Great to hear my project helps you out 👍. I don't see any issues as long as the material is solid and supported enough. The combination of thin and big tends to bend somewhere so be sure to build supports where needed. Good luck!

@nielsvanvlerken3398 3 жыл бұрын

Nice and interesting to see your build! One thing I'm wondering though is if the test cut at 3:34 is safe practice. As far as I understand it is a climb cut which should be avoided on a router table. Feeding a piece 'in between' the fence and the router bit should be avoided as well as it might send your piece flying and at the same time pull your hand towards the cutters.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. First one I have seen using a cordless router! I, myself, am currently setting up a shop and trying to use mainly battery tools. I want to see how far battery tools can actually go.

@CornerfieldShop 3 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! I think if you really wanted there is no need for corded tools. Just a heap of batteries to power everything. Not sure what's better in the end. As far as the router goes, that works just fine with batteries.

@switching_gears_yeg 3 жыл бұрын

@@CornerfieldShop I agree. For the basic home shop they should work fine. Now if you were making cabinets or fine furniture well maybe you might get frustrated with changing batteries. My whole, truly, mobile workbench will have my mitre saw, table saw, and now my router when I buy it. All of them are battery powered. I am even looking into a small battery powered vacuum to see IF it can be used for a quick dust collection when moved away from the wall.

Nice video :) What kind of miter gauge do you have? I have the same saw, but found that using some fences with a adjustable cam (for reducing play) was a problem because of the "T" style profile og the miter slot....

@CornerfieldShop 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I have a miter gauge from powerpro (banggood.com). It has the profile you describe but it works perfectly. I do recognize that the slots aren't very consistent... So your problem isn't strange, I think more people have that issue. I've heard that sanding the slots can help. Good luck!

@mikeo678 3 жыл бұрын

Brilliant built. I have the same saw and the corded version of this router, and I think I’ll follow you ideas for the whole build >>> Saw table, plus slide out for the saw and the router table. I’d also like to ensure enough space for a shop vac underneath, potentially with cyclone. May I ask what final outside dimensions of the unit are in terms of depth and width? .... I ask as I want to ensure I can wheel it outside to work outside in good weather and roll it through a door about 112cm wide. Many thanks for the inspiration!

De maatvoering die app de lineaal van de tafelzaag staat, die kun je zo niet meer gebruiken. Zou dat wel kunnen als je de aanslag 180 graden omdraait en links van de rechter bevestigingspunten aan zou brengen? Ik zit aan eenzelfde tafel te denken, maar dan afneembaar, omdat mijn (nieuwe) tafel mobiel blijft. Ben er alleen nog niet uit of ik voor de 7485 (max 620 mm zaagbreedte) of de 7492 (820 mm) ga. Met een prijsverschil van 200 euro voor 200 mm meer zaagbreedte, vraag ik me af of ik die extra breedte (en daarmee de extra prijs) nodig heb.

@CornerfieldShop 3 жыл бұрын

De lineaal heb je denk ik sowieso weinig aan omdat de afstand ook afhangt van welke frees je gebruikt. Ik heb zelf regelmatig de extra capaciteit nodig maar dat is natuurlijk heel persoonlijk. Succes met kiezen 😉

@DaSamba 3 жыл бұрын

@@CornerfieldShop Hoe hoog kom je vanuit je inzetplaat boven de tafel uit? Ik zit er namelijk zelf ook aan te denken om de Makita RT0700C aan te schaffen, en een tweede kantenfrees-voet, en deze te monteren onder de tafel. Ik heb nog een Black en Decker bovenfrees die ik ook kan gebruiken, echter dat is dan 1 keer monteren en er nooit meer vanaf, en dat vind ik niet handig, en onzinnig om dubbele frees te hebben.

@CornerfieldShop 3 жыл бұрын

De hoogte is hetzelfde als de hoogte van de zaag en dat is net voldoende voor mijn frees om er in en uit gehaald te kunnen worden. Die is wel met accu, heb je er 1 zonder dan is het alweer makkelijker.

@DaSamba 3 жыл бұрын

@@CornerfieldShopDe hoogte van jouw 7491 is gelijk aan de nieuwe 7492 neem ik aan? Ik bedoelde eigenlijk hoe hoog de freesbits boven het plexiglas uit komen. Hoe dik heb je dat plexiglas genomen?

@CornerfieldShop 3 жыл бұрын

Ow die hoogte. Ik begreep de vraag verkeerd. Ik heb iets van 5 of 6mm plexiglas gebruikt. Daar zit de houder voor de frees direct aan. Dus je verliest zo'n 5mm van de maximum bit hoogte. Voor mij nog geen probleem geweest maar wel iets om rekening mee te houden.
