    Hi. That's a very quick and simple way of making an accurate templates, fool proof. I'm going to make a similar copy of your table I

  • @davidhull1610
    @davidhull1610 4 роки тому

    Excellent build as usual Matt. You've given me an idea for a modification to your design. I'm going to make the top a bit larger and build it so that it can be used as a conventional table, or mounted on its side as a horizontal machine with a height adjustable fence. It's such an obvious thing, but in the year I've owned it, never once did it occur to me to make a table for my cordless dewalt router......doh!

  • @erictheviking672
    @erictheviking672 4 роки тому

    I really liked this; simple but effective. I made a router table once but it was a bit rubbish. Mainly too big and clunky. This looks good and I also think the flush mounts are great. I bought some once because they looked useful so now I have something to use them for.

  • @frankves
    @frankves 4 роки тому +1

    Lovely little project Matt! You could easily whip up a small fence out of plywood and even include extra dust extraction on it as it does not need to be exactly parallel for a router. Just a thought.

  • @kelvingstrachan
    @kelvingstrachan 4 роки тому

    I wonder if the top of the box was 18mm over the edge and you could use an 18mm French cleat as a support on your work bench? It would be a lot more stable than those little brackets.
    You could then do any extensions onto your work bench with an 18mm French cleat system.
