Threaded inserts and machine screws.!!!… really nice tutorial, sealed vacuum chamber to house the router is better for dust collection but your collapsible set up makes sense for occasional use..!!👍

Good on you Phillip, it’s all about having a go, don’t forget to check out my follow up post on the upgrades to the router table , see link below: ua-cam.com/video/Yw8jpQ-DzlY/v-deo.htmlsi=1mjvxlntD_59CYq7
Great idea with the cutting board! That being said, what’s your thoughts on maybe using the cutting board material for the bottom of your Makita router?
Hey Geoff, Pat here from the Toronto area Canada. I have also wanted to build a portable bench top router table for some time. While watching you demonstrate the finishing product, it appears that the table top is about even with your armpit. Is that not a bit uncomfortable, working so high up?? Don’t get me wrong, the table is a great design and is perfect for my needs. But is much higher than clamping my material to my bench and routing just below waist level. the way I see it - Pat
Hi Pat, for small jobs it hasn't been a problem only when trying to machine larger or bulky materials then I use a portable workhorse/vice which folds up and positions the router table at a lower hight. I would agree if you can, design one that fits under your workbench, all comes down to your workshop design and room. The other thing you need to consider is the lengths of material you may need to machine, if its portable you can easily move your little table outside or if need be to a jobsite etc. Food for thought... Don't forget to watch my other follow up videos on this where I have made some improvement to this worth seeing before you make: ua-cam.com/video/Yw8jpQ-DzlY/v-deo.htmlsi=0qQt5QPcR5lIYS5z Good luck with yours 👍
My base plate is 200 x 200mm and after using the router table for a while now and trial & error I would recommend Perspex as it’s much more stable and rigid or the ultimate would be alloy plate. Remember after you have made your rebate to accomodate for the plate to sit flush with the surface of your table, if it sits a little low, you can use masking tape to shim it bit by bit, that’s what I ended having to do.Good luck😉
Hi Jules, I don't currently have any but I could do a quick CAD drawing with dimensions if that helps, you would need to give me an email so I can send it to you as a PDF file. Cheers

Buddy I really really like the router table you built. I'm going to try my hand at it. It was just fabulous.
@@deanpowell1212 good on you, thanks for watching 👍🏼
That was a wonderful tutorial on a VERY nice build. I plan on making a router table and your clip has provided the plans.
Thanks, Mate!

Thank you for a great video. I just bought a plastic cutting board to make my router table. What a great idea.
Nice build, might want to consider some star knobs to fasten the legs to the top.
Thanks, Geoff! Very informative video. I will make this.

Gr8 project pleasure to watch ...10 out of 10
Excellent tutorial! Well done!

To easily find the center of your router plate, use a guide bushing and a centering bit/stud.
are the plans available for this router table really like it

What size did you make the base plate in mm?
I own the same routers, and want to make the same router table..😁
Thanks for the video. 👍
