Hi Corey,

I love that little table and can see all kinds of uses for it. I am putting that on my project list for down the road. It is just like my Oak-Park set up and small enough to store in almost no space at all. For boxmaking, this looks like a must have item in my shop.

Thanks for sharing the idea and the pictures. I do think I am going to have to look at that little Colt over my PC7310

Thanks guys! Bob, wow you sprung for the whole system! Nice. This was my first Bosch as well. Once Pat Warner gave it a thumbs up I went for it. Now if they would make a nice little plunge base.. I would be all over it!

Bob, somewhere on this site you posted something about how you do a swing fence and how you attach it to the table. Do you have that link?

Hi Bud

The link would be a hard one to find but it's a easy setup and will be the one I use on the new little table,,

It's just a 90 deg.fence, it has a slot on the left side of the fence that runs both ways like a X or to say a small t that lets the fence move from side to side or back ,, the other end is a hole that it pivots on,,,,both are screw into tee nuts from the bottom side of the top.
The one I have setup on the big table it has a snap pin on the right side that I just lift up and free...(from Grizzly .com)

The new one I'm going to make for the small router table will just be some of that white stuff ( like yours) but with the slots on on end and the tee nuts in place to hold it and no upright on the fence maybe a vac, pickup on the back side of the fence, still playing with that one ,maybe a longer bit guard to hold the hose end right behind the bit... still playing with that one.

They work so well and are so fast when moving the fence out of the way for a bit change or a pop out of the router motor...
I also made a small jig on the back side so I could put the fence right back in the same place it was in b/4 the bit change, many of the router bits have the same size bearing and it makes it easy to reset it right back to the same spot.

I just took a look around to find a good shot of the fence and I don't have one but if you want one just ask and I will post one.

Hi Bob. Thanks for that. That is pretty much what I want to do as well with a fence. Might be just easier for me to spring for the longer OP fence and get the DC hook up.

By the way, on the Bosch the speed control is on top of the motor, just directly underneath the power switch. Very convenient. I know they didn't make this router for a table but they sure designed it well anyway

Hey Corey

Here's a snapshot or two of the fence and the new top for the small table with the fence, played with it today to make sure I had all the parts that I will need now I just need to wait for the main part but the table will be done almost so I can just drop it in and hook up the power switch on the side of the box.
The top will be 1/4" thick white plastic on top of some 3/4" MDF for the sub. base and the PC base will just drop in the hole and hold the new router in place, so I can lift it out quick and easy to change the bits, it will have a 1/16" roll pin to lock the black PC in place and keep it from turning in the hole drilled right on the edge of the ring and the top so it will lock in quick.
The PC base plate should work fine when I need to use the brass guides in this table..

Nice setup Corey! That Bosch colt looks like a pretty handy tool for getting in tight places and you just made it a lot more versatile with the table.

Greg

Thanks Greg! Bob, that looks great. So you are not going to use the round base from Bosch right? Also those screws in the Bosch that hold it to the plate are very soft. I like the exterior switches as well Bob, but you may night need one for the Bosch... it is so close and handy the way it is and if you plug it into another switch it won't be as handy to pull up and change bits etc. like Bob and Rick do. Something to think about anyway.

I wanted to do white plastic laminate on my top as well but the local HD doesn't carry it anymore and Menards only carries the expensive granite looking stuff in big sheets. So I did otherwise. What are you going to use to make your hole? What size is your top going to be? Won't be long and there will be a new table in the Bj shop!

Corey

Very nice job and thanks for sharing Corey

Now that you posted it, I was thinking that actually I have 2 trimmers just sitting and collecting dust so why I did not do it till now.

So, it's going to be a project.

I think that I'll use a 3/4" plywood, cut a hole a little bit bigger than the trimmer base and screw on top of the plywood...Floor panels [they are already covered with plastic laminate (Formica)].

I think that I'm just going to screw the plywood on one of the Workmates.

I'll cut a hole in the floor panels to fit the trimmer insert.
The insert will be also a piece of floor panel so no height adjustment is needed, just 4 screws to the plywood and go.

The other option will be, to screw the trimmer directly on the floor panels without any insert.

Thanks
