This is a free downloadable woodworking plan to build this router table for the workshop.

Build this router table for your workshop using these free woodworking plans.

My table-mounted router seemed ideal for shaping 3/4 inch stock into knobs for a box I was building, but the small blanks--only 1 1/2 inch square--would make the job hazardous to my hands. So I built the jig, shown here, to hold onto the blanks.

This router table features an adjustable fence, dust collection, an easy-to-reach switch, and convenient storage for bits, accessories and even a router or two.

Make a mini router table for your high-speed rotary tool.

This simple, self-contained mortising jig used with a template guide in a router to cut mortises of nearly any size.

Not only does this lift offer above-the-table height adjustment but it costs less than $100. Plus, unlike the expensive commercial lifts, this lift allows you to change bits without cranking the router all the way up.

Simplicity is key in this no-frills router table. Many are highly engineered, bulky, and take a long time to build. But this one is uncomplicated and quick-to-make--just 20 minutes.

This table takes only an hour or two to build, and it can last for years. To make your own, you will need a router plate and a plunge router equipped with a template guide.
