Axminster Workshop Folding Router Table Kit

Product Information

The table legs can be folded up quickly, and there is a handle next to the table, which can be easily lifted and easy to transport and storage. I was able to scavenge the router table fence and on / off switch from the Ryobi portable table I had been using. The principal feature is the folding stand made from heavy gauge steel section with a black powder coated finish. I chose the ones with a shoulder because when I combined it with a washer I have metal-on-metal contact as the hinge moves.

Finally, the fence detaches from the top to become the handle for transporting and storing the table.Alternatively, if you’re a carpenter or a full-time handyman, a portable table or floor standing router table is desirable. A router table allows you to use your router in ways which would be difficult or impossible with a handheld tool.

I needed to ensure that the bolts were flush to the base which means their needed to be some countersink holes bored. If I make one I'll want it to attach to the MFT and I think I've found a way to do that but it involves some fiddling.And they provide an efficient solution for collecting dust, which reduces the risk of health and safety complications. Here at Kendal Tools, we have been supplying woodworking machinery and bandsaw blades for many years, and provide all you need to get the most from your machines – be it spindle tooling, router cutters or router tables from big names, such as Charnwood, Draper and Scheppach. The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. The fence is made from a rigid steel back plate and uses a pair of aluminium alloy 'T' tracks incorporating metric scales meaning that it can be precisely located on the table surface.

That top had laminate glued to id because I expected to be using bigger wood and it would also get more use.Thanks to their smaller footprint, they can be safely stowed out of harm’s way – allowing you to utilise your space wisely. To grip the top in the Workmate base, I attached a pair of clamp blocks wider than my router on the underside of the top. I would estimate that with my parter router and router table, at least 80 to 90 percent of what I do with that router involves using it on a router table, whether it's building doors, trimming wood of cutting rabbets or dados, so I expect the same would be for the trim router, which is why I decided to build this portable table for it . The pilot hole was then used to as a guide to ensure my forstner bit would ease into the hole so I could countersink for each of the bolts. Though it’s great to have a choice when purchasing a router table, too many options can make it challenging.
