A router table useful for a variety of shaping and profiling tasks in wood.

The table was constructed by Hackspace members using several commercially available key components, including

  • Router: Triton, part no unknown
  • Insert plate: Rockler, part no unknown
  • Fence Rockler, part no unknown
  • Mitre guide, part no unknown

The router has a 1/2" collet and should ideally be used with 1/2" cutters. A reducing bush (soon to be replaced by dedicated 1/4" collet) are available which can be used to hold 1/4" cutters, although lighter cuts must be taken

This router was purchased specifically for use with the table and should not be removed for use freehand unless there is a specific reason to do so (there are many other handheld routers available which can be used freehand)

A range of additional jigs e.g. a box joint jig are available
