Plunge, trim, and palm routers are the most essential tools in speaker building and car audio fabrication. Necessary in cutting perfect holes, edge trimming, template routing and even can achieve advance designs in detailing many shapes and sizes using the router and proper accessories like jigs and tables. Been needing to have a bench top router table so I made a quick project using scrap and left-over plywood. Nothing fancy about this one just to wanting to see what a router table can do.
- Started the project quick since there is an old cabinet drawer laying around and can be used as the router stand.
- Used 3/4" and 1/2" plywood.
- An optional acrylic sheet in making adjustable router template, DIY style.
- Hole saw is used in cutting the hole opening for the trimmer router.
- Tested cutting a circle whole and using a roundover bit to curve smooth the hole edge.
- Then proceeded to make the router fence.
- Drilled a hole and housing to make a dust extraction port for the vacuum hose.
- Sanded the plywood surfaces a bit and applied some clear gloss lacquer for some protection and beauty.
- Finally, tested the router table against the fence using a rabbeting bit to cut a deep notch on a piece of hard wood.
