 My Mini'Router Table...
Well i wanted a light weight portable table that was small in size and I could use it like an Oak Park table and use a palm router in it for doing quick dados and rebates, round overs and such for my box work. I used the Bosch Colt Trim router in this table mounted it on an Oak Park 7 inch base that I ordered with no mounting holes. I also ordered a brass insert to work with smaller bits and one of the Oak Park fences and the rubber handled clamps. I love those Anyway, here are some shots of the table. Sorry for the crappy look inside, I forgot to clean it up after the forstner bit got some tear out on the underneath. I used the Kreg Jig for assembling the table. It works good but was a lot of work and my back is aching. First run with the router plate the bearing wasn't locked on the top bearing bit and you know what that means. Second time my clamp gave way and the third time around which is the way I should of done it anyway was use double stick tape. So I made a few pieces of firewood! Anyway, it works good, changing bits is much like using and Oak Park table. I think I will be able to use the space fences on it as well.
Top dimensions are 22 wide by 14 inch deep.
