I just bought the same Dewalt saw and was wondering about options for making a router table. Then I found this video on combining both, which is much better than making or buying a separate unit for the router. Thanks for posting this video!
This is the most ingenious idea I have seen in a long time,Thank you for sharing and helping us beginners to so easily and effectively have a router table.All the people on youtube who make them usually have all the tools,materials and experience,Congratulations Sir for a fix that is in easy reach of people on a budget and just starting out.hope you are well and safe,all the best.Micsa
YUP. Was getting all set to build some sort of router table that would attach with clamps to my workbench. This is a MUCH better solution.
Well Done indeed!! Brilliant! I've been fretting about where in my tiny, basement workshop I was going to build and squeeze in a router table. This is perfect since I recently purchased a Dewalt DWE7491. I can't tell you how pleased and impressed I am with your design. NO MODIFICATIONS at all to the saw yet it's easily and securely installed and removed. Of course I had to tweak it slightly for my needs. I enlarged the table slightly (27.5" x 10") to accommodate my Incra--Fence, a perfect addition! I got completely lucky and discovered an old Craftsman power switch in a box that I think came off an old router table and added that to the face. A HUGE bonus benefit is that once I have a perfect cut set up I can still remove the entire fence/table and park it on a shelf, use my saw (which can't be done with the router table in place), then reinstall it and my router cut is still locked in place! WOW!! Great design! Thanks so much!
I've been thinking about something like this for far too long. Time to actually do it. Thanks for the post.
WOW, just WOW! Simple to build, inexpensive, compact. Love it.
I agree.. Now to get an adjustable fence on it.
This is a very good idea and quite helpful. Thank you
i really liked how simple and yet effective this router table on a dewalt jobsite saw was, so i built one. it is now my favorite jig in the shop. thanks for sharing this idea . awesome!
As a site carpenter this has made my entire week. What an excellent idea. Thank you
This gave me the idea to make an insert for my Bosch table saw extension rail. With the insert area I was able to make it a perfect fit allowing my table saw to support my new router table. Thanks for the idea to spark my creation
I have the same table saw. I just built a table for it with a 42cm router extension on the opposite side than yours. The extension doubles as support for the fence when ripping large stock, basically giving me a 100cm (~40") table in total.
The router extension is equipped wit a Triton MOF001 1400W router mounted in a recessed mounting plate from Rockler, and an in-line start/stop mechanism mounted on the table frame for easier access.
I have also built an auxiliary fence with built-in dust extraction port for the router that clamps onto the saws rip fence with table clamps (Bessey TK6) and a full length plate for load distribution (the extruded aluminium profile is quite fragile). The flip-over support bracket and push stick holders were removed for this purpose, and a notch made in the upper corner to make space for the label-thingie on the back.
Do you have a picture of the extension I am very interested in making one similar to yours, thanks
@@jram1852 I have a few. When they were taken, it was still "work in progress" though (and it basically still is). And remember, the whole table was purpose built with this extension in mind.
The small overhang seen on the second picture was made to make it easier to access the locking lever for the rip fence.

@@HepauDK Thanks, i will try too ^^
Just bought the Dewalt job site table saw and this addition will come in handy. I also have a small workshop. So thanks 🙏 ❤
Absolute genius! I have a DW745 table saw and a tiny workshop. I will definitely be making one of these! One idea I had since watching is to make the top bigger and add t-tracks to lock down a fence. Thanks so much for sharing
Was thinking about a fence . make it on the right side so can use the fence from table saw.
The fence works well on both sides. Guys
What size bolt did you use to tighten it to the table saw.
I’m taking this idea and making a few modification to allow use of the fence with the router. The dewalt table saw has an amazing fence system. I hate to not include it in the design. Still working out a few things but it’s definitely going to work.
Post a video when you're done.
Me too.
Any updates/pictures?
I would also like to see a pic thanks!
Did you ever post a picture/video adapting so you can use the dewalt fence?
That’s it. You win the router attachment to table saw prize! Brilliant!
Your plan also widens the table saw table! Brilliant build. Thank you for sharing, friend. Be well!
You gave me a great idea for when I build my work bench here soon. I'm trying to consolidate as much as possible while maintaining efficiency. Thanks for the upload👍👍
Made this for my dewalt saw and palm router. Worked great even though my saw is slightly different. Good idea!
Just saved myself some money and garage space. Perfect attachment. Thank you.
An easy straight forward way to create the router extension. Great video! 👍🏼
This is probably the best and easiest idea I’ve seen for a router table! I’ll definitely be adding this onto my Dewalt table saw as well! Thank you!
So simple, yet so effective. I like the comment about putting it on the other side so u can use the fence 4 both applications. Nice job!
Something I’m actually gonna build out of all the UA-cam vids I watch this one will actually help me. Thanks
I am so happy I found your video.. That idea is so good! Making my own this weekend!
Love this idea, I've been think of ways to make the most of unused space, this is perfect.
Love this. Just got a DeWalt compact router and debating doing this with my rigid jobsite table saw
Great idea! I wonder if you could tap holes in the side of the table and mount brackets there for your aux router table. Then you could use the table saw fence in conjunction with the router
Being limited on space myself, this is a great idea! Ingenious!
Amazing. On the way to make one and get rid of the router table. Thank you.
I was searching for a way to mount my Bosch router table into a Dewalt table saw I'm thinking of buying today and found this video. Now I wish I didn't buy the router table LOL .... Very nicely done!
Excellent solution, i have all the individual tools which is why i have no space left to work with them. Such is the problem of tool collecting addiction. 😢
I have that little table saw at my lake camp and love it! I can store it under a bench until I need it, then I can mount it on my workmate for use
Brilliant idea and execution! Thank you for creating this video to share it!!
Brilliant. I have almost the same saw, this should be easy to do from your video. Much more stable routing long lengths of lumber on a table instead of by hand.
Genius !! I’ll be doing this over the next few days, I can’t wait, what a perfect solution 😃👍
My DeWalt table saw arrives today, guess what I am up to this weekend! Thanks for this video!
Excellent Video. Excellent design. Thanks for sharing
I have that exact same table saw and I'm going to make that so I have it for the job site. Good idea.
Wish I saw this yesterday when I was making doors lol. Just brilliant
Simple solution.
Great video, straight forward and especially none of the usual UA-cam faff. 👍👍👍
Brilliant and simple, the best type of ideas. Thank you!
Well done. You have designed a very neat and space efficient solution. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
My new weekend project; Genius!
Great ingenuity ! Well done.
I'm making this in the morning. Thanks 👍
Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing.
Great idea and a good explanation for how to make this extension.
Great idea! Gonna think about how to add an adjustable fence for it too!
I was thinking about this too. Thinking that with the adjustable bolts to secure, could the table saw fence be adjusted and used for it?
the dewalt table saw has a reversible fence - so if you did what this guy did, but on the RIGHT side of the table saw, then you'd be able to flip the fence and use it for your router table too
Well done. Very innovative approach to confined space. When will you be adding a dust collection system. Can't wait to see your creative approach to this problem we all experience when using router
A good idea for a tiny shop like mine. I'm definitely going to make this. Thanks!
This is wonderful. I found difficulty in aligning screws into router base through plywood on dewalt router. If one screw line misaligned then it’s hard to fix it.
Great idea will be building it tomorrow ❤
Great freaking idea! Thanks for this demo vid. That router is next on my “tools to buy” list, and I wanted a table mount option but didn’t want another table. I’m also limited in space. This will be the perfect solution!
So simple but so effective 👍🏻
Awesome work, dude! Nicely done! 😃
That big piece of wood at 4:15 would be a fantastic head for a mallet! 😃
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great idea. Well thought out and useable.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
Nice solution for a small space!! Thanks for sharing.
The second I hear measurements in mm's, I'm watching. That was simply brilliant.
WOW!😮😍, I have the same table saw and will be following your design. Thank you so much for sharing. New friend here
Awesome idea. Will definitely have to build this.
Brilliant! Simple! Like you every sq cm counts in my workshop. This solves my problem of where to store a router table. Thanks heaps.
Simple! Straight forward and useful! Thanx!
Brilliant solution to a need, sir!
This video is very well done. I'll be trying one of these soon. Thank you
Great ti-, just what I was looking for... now, why using the router in the inner side, stability?
Really nice idea! I'm going to build this same setup this weekend.
This is so cool - Love it - excellent work and tip.
Beautiful! You just saved me lots of money and frustration! 👍🏽👍🏽
i did this and it works great!! Only problem is I mainly have my router in my CNC router machine (Onefinity CNC) so taking it out and installing it in the table saw is a pain. Most likely I will purchase a second router but this design is awesome..It will even work good without the screws and locking it..You could almost skip that step and secure it with double sided tape or clamps. :).
Great build bro, im learning alot from you, i definitely will be subscribing!!!!
Thank you for this video! I have the same saw and this should work out perfectly
Very nice design. Easy to build and implement. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea. I'm glad that I came across your video
Really like that💯 Thx for sharing👏🏻
Great idea and a job well done!
awesome dude, i will be 100% making this. thank you!!
Awesome and simple combined. I also have this table saw. I need to make this.
Awesome idea. Building one next week.. thank you
Mate what a great idea I will be doing this at the weekend 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing. I too have same saw and having been looking for router extension. Its a pity the saw fence is'nt independant. I'll try to add another fence.
Exactly what I needed, thank you.
Great video. I have the 32.5 inch max rip and the 24.5 rip portable. Definitely I'll make your idea. Thank you again
Outstanding idea, I saved and subscribed
this is extremely clever! thanks for sharing :D
Fabulous effort!
This is an ingenious use of space. I wish it would work for me, but that space is already accounted for.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
I've the exact same saw and router. This will be a great addition to my tool shed, great video.
Great. Any ideas on dust extraction?
I can’t wait to build something like this.
Well done, my friend. I am going to copy your design this weekend.
Thanks for the video.
Now, why didn't I think of that? Great idea.
Ingenious! Earned yourself a sub
Dude super brilliant idea and quality video
Genius, absolutely brilliant
AWESOME! Making one this evening!
am thinking, you can also use the table fence for the router... although it might not move due to the router being inserted in the rails, will think of a way. great idea simple but effectve project thank you!
The saw fence is not ideal as a router fence anyway due to the need to cut away a section in way of the the router bit. Adding a face to the fence would solve that, but introduce mounting issues. If you solve the mounting issues by making a saddle over the fence (same as for a sliding tenon jig) you could extend the top face of the saddle and drop the router fence at a distance, thus also solving the travel issue with the rails being obstructed.
Or to hell with all that clumsy compromise, and just set a couple of t-tracks into the router table, then attach a dedicated router fence to them. A further advantage is that you can clamp feather boards and templates to the router table as well so that it's a jig system in its own right. The table will need to be thick enough to tolerate this, and at that rate it might be as well to cut out for a thin mounting plate for the router, which lets it be set to full working depth. The plates are widely available, or you can make your own.
Great video!
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
Same DeWalt at router as i have... Nicking that design.
Gotta say, that's really smart!
Great video! Very helpful!
