DIY Router Tables
To plan of your own custom-made router table, you will need many components. The basic equipment includes a specially manufactured plate for mounting the router, routing stops, aluminium profile rails, pressure comb, insert plates or lifts, circuit breaker and other accessories. But the result is a router table with a very personal touch in your workshop.
To realise the plan of your own custom-made router table, you need many components. The basic equipment includes a specially manufactured plate for mounting the router and routing stops, aluminium profile rails, pressure comb, insert plates, circuit breaker and other accessories.

You have the option of equipping your self-built router table with either a router lift or an insert plate. We explain here when you use which and what the differences are:
Router motors are used in stationary applications on router tables, in CNC routers or in drill/router stands.
A router can be used together with an insert plate for stationary use on the router table.
A router offers many functions that a router motor does not. Examples are a fine height adjustment (if necessary from through the router table), a plunge basket with base plate for working with copying sleeves, a fence (hand-guided) or the integrated chip extraction.
For stationary use, we recommend a router with height adjustment fpossible through the router table (e.g. Trend T11 router or Triton routers).
