Router Table Plans

by Dan Phalen

Build Your Own Router Table

After years of requests, I created a document to answer questions before they're asked. The plans turned out very popular and I'm still providing them FREE in PDF form, along with my Sketchup project files. Both are zipped for your protection.

Build your Ultimate Router Table exactly as I did by downloading this PDF document of my plans.

Add my Sketchup 8 files!

You can also download my Sketchup 8 project files as a model for your own work.

For more images and the build story, see my main router page.
