Lol.
Matt: "I used the largest hole saw I had."
Me: "That's not a hole saw; it's a biscuit tin."
Haha
Hahahaha.
today a router table - tomorrow...look out Australia!
Lunch break on a Wednesday is now planned around a Badger video dropping! This is brilliant.
Thank you. Enjoy your lunch.
Same! Little Wednesday highlight.
This is a super convenient router table.
Nice work Mr.👍🏻👍🏻
I like your version.
What a great little project. I especially love how you thought to hang it off the bench with those slide brackets.
Love your channel, have a fab Christmas and New Year!
I like the washer and pencil trick 👏🌹🇦🇺
Love the use of the flush mounting plates, stroke of genius!
Thank you
That's an excellent router table and I love those clips to attach it to the side of the workbench!
Thank you
Simple yet elegant design well executed. Great job!
What a supercool idea
Thank you
That last idea with the brackets made it from a decent shop project to very good one. 👍🏻
Thank you
Great Video and a Fab idea. I was looking for a video for inspiration and you did the trick thank you.
JUST PLAIN EXCELLENT. ILOVE IT. Thank you for sharing...
Quick and simple. Excellent job.
Thank you Tim.
Excellent. Thank you for sharing...
Perfect timing! I was about to build the exact same thing. Thanks Matt
I’m pleased I made mine
Nicely done, and a brilliant idea with those brackets! 👍🏾
Thanks Bill. They worked out great.
Quick easy and simple! I’ll have to try that when I make mine with the hanging system. Genius!
Thank you
Great idea Matt, looks good
Thank you
That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
I’ve just got the same plate from Amazon thanks to you Matt👍🏼 , it work really well, I too have a done a short video
Very neat. Nice one.
Thank you
Great little project, think I may have to do something similar thanks for sharing Matt 👍
Thank you very much.
Fantastic job =)
Nice little router table, great final idea with the catches Matt. Never heard of the Washer and Pencil Trick but I have now 🙂👍
Thank you
Great job 👏
Thank you
Belle petite réalisation avec quelques techniques intéressantes,bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉
Great job Matt
Thank you
Excellent design and build. As always, a calm presentation.
Thank you
Brilliant and excellent idea.
Thank you
You made a giant mistake, you should have delivered it to my shop. Really good idea!
I know I had done something wrong
Great idea. Thks
Thank you.
Thats a real smart design at the end. Free outfeed/infeed table 😁
Thank you
Love that!
Thank you
Brilliant idea I really like that idea 👍
Thank you
Very nice mate I like the idea of being able to mount it on the side of the bench
Thank you
I really need to make myself this kind of small and easy to attach mini router table. Thanks for sharing your ideas ❤️
Thanks for watching
Good job 👍🏾
Thank you
Very good mate
Thank you
Best video of mini router table.
Super nice build Matt! Flush mount to a larger work surface with out loosing precious space, fantastic!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you very much
Great idea for the flush mounts on the side! Evening epiphanies often keep me up until I can get them down on paper so I can comprehend it in the morning. WELL DONE.
Thank you. So glad I added them
I've taken to emailing myself good idea I wake up - to often I get into the day knowing I had a good idea but i've forgotten the details lol
good job .well done
Thank you
smart one! i will keep this one in mind :)
Fantastic idea Matt and a great build and video thanks for sharing and remember#stay safe and make. ☕☕👍👍
Thanks Brian
Such a good simple plan, I just need to buy a palm router so I can make one to use it with. I use Keith's food safe wax on the chopping boards that I make, it's brilliant stuff.
Top job. Like it.
Thank you.
Great little router table. I’ve just got the same Makita router as you and fancy a little table set up. Great timing. 👍🏼
It’s a great router
perfect...great job
Thank you
Hello Matt what really good project
Thank you
What a fab idea to use those clips Matt 🙂
Thank you. They have worked out great
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
like the clamping arrangement on the base. It's a lot better than the melamine panel with a hole in. Tony
Thank you Tony.
i made a very similar table for the same router and made small box joint sleds that slide on it, works great!
Sounds good
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!
Sounds like a good plan
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.
Thank you
Router insert plate, cheers Matt. Time to get rid of my workzone table and get my router and tablesaw on one level table with shared fence. Love the clip-on mode too.
Sounds a good idea
@@Badgerworkshop router plate ordered, cheers for the KickUTA Matt.
You gave a side table a new dimension
It does indeed
That's a great idea. I moved my big shop into a single car garage and had to do away with my big router table. I may have to make one of these for little charcuterie boards. I have the same router. It's a tiny work horse.
Yes it’s a great little machine
Nice one Matt another good video 👍
Thank you
That last bit really makes it work a 100 times better.
I agree
@@Badgerworkshop Just found a video of yours that someone else is uploading called "Small Woodworking Projects That Sell Fast | You Can Do At Home | Woodworking Business | Art & Crafts".
@@Ace-zb5xr thank you for letting me know
Good job. You can do a surprising amount with a small router table. Since i made one I rarely use my large one.
I have used it lots already
Good idea there Matt---
Thank you
I used some of those brackets to fix the mantle shelf above our fire place, been there about 9 yes now and still as strong as ever
That’s a good idea
Well done. I made a router table with fence and dust port out of 40mm ply and in such a way that it can be clamped in a workmate or on a benchtop.
Clever idea
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.
Thank you
i attached a plexiglass base to my plunge router. drill holes around the edge to attach ad hock fences and can screw it onto my workbench for mobile router table. nice and simple and cost me £10 for the plexi
For anyone wanting to flush mount who doesnt have that bracket just use a plywood french cleat. Its not as low profile but works great.
Bet you're glad you moved up north so you don't have to deal with the heat! Although I'd imagine it'd stay fairly cool in the workshop with all the insulation.
Good idea using those brackets to mount it on the side, I might have to borrow that idea in the future!
Yes I has not got too hot here.
Perfect.
Thank you
neat
Thank you
Guess what my next project is 🤔 Great video and thank you 👍
Good one .Julien Lamarche
Super clever man who is the little brackets what a great idea well done mate
Thank you
Matt, I do like that idea for something removable using those clips. I need to make a sharpening station like Rob Cosman's but can't have a fixed one. Now I'm sure I had a set of those clips somewhere...
I like the idea of a removable sharpening station
Nicely done! Maybe in the future a fence could be added too.
Thank you
I don’t know how I missed this video, but apparently I did. Curious.
I like that bracket idea and will be using that.
Gonna try to build one of these into my Makpac
excellent ! thanks for posting. I especially like the idea of using the brackets to extend the router table area . have you thought about incorporating a small fence ?
Thanks for naming the router bit as there is not one in my box of assorted router bits .
Your workshop looks very small yet it seems to hold some pretty cool tools. Thanks for your great tutorial. I will build me one one of these days :-)
An alternative to the brackets could be a French cleat. Simple to make.
Great video thanks for sharing, I'm a beginner so any tips on bits ect thank you
Well thank you sir for introducing me to flush mount brackets. They look great. Seem sturdy enough, have the remained so?
Yes they are fine

I was looking at this exact plate. Glad it fits.
@@ChapmanWW It works great
😊👍
Thanks you
I need something like that for my picture frame rebates, now just need some wood, I would probably put a door on the front to help the dust capture as my router dust collection is rubbish
Dust collection is always a problem with routers
Wait, there's a washer and pencil trick? I had no idea!
It works great.
Really like this Matt how are you getting on with the axeminster saw I got mine last week just waiting for the sliding table assembly as they were out os stock
I’m loving it. It’s a great saw
Great job you’ve done, the screws you used to secure the router to the plate are they special ones you need
They are countersunk bolts
Thanks for your video! I have the same router... can you tell me where you got your plate from? A link would be fantastic!
Thx a lot mate!
Great idea. I have the same router...didn’t know there was a plunge base for it. Where did you locate one?
Amazon I think
Thanks. I like the idea of this and wonder. Does the plate you used fit a BOSCH GKF 600 router? Anyone used it for this model, please?
Nice touch with the bracket on the workbench, I have only seen swing out or clamp Down routertables😊
Do you find it necessary to use a inserplate instead of screwing it to the table 👍
Thank you. You just screw it down
Could I ask what the rectangular hole in the insert plate is for? Dust extraction maybe? Or maybe for an off set spanner for the collet?
Hi Matt what do you think the advantage is of having an insert plate verses mounted directly to the timber with a hole for the bit? Just asking because I'm unsure really 🤔
That would also work
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.
I’m sure that could work
Lovely little router table Matt - was that an old tablesaw sled I saw providing some of the scrap ply? - where did you get those great little brackets?
There is a link under the video
Nice Job, I really like that table saw, what's it like noise wise compared to the dewalt contractor's saw You once had?
I never had a dewalt.
@@Badgerworkshop Thanks Matt, sorry I though You had👍
So cool. what do u call the clips and the end u hung it with on the side of your banch? Where did u get them? thanks. 😊
