Default Router table & lift mechanism

Drill a hole in a piece of plywood, attach your router on the
underside, and rest the plywood on a frame that has crossmembers close
to the router to keep the ply from sagging. Clamp another piece of
plywood or mdf to this as a fence. The result will be serviceable for
90% (at least) of your router table needs. It will NOT be ideal, but
it will give you good results while you inform yourself on what YOU
want in a router table. (You are the one that will be using, it right,
not anyone on the wreck?)


Damn... you saw my router table!

Someone gave me one of those POS plastic router tables about 20 years ago.. the
only good thing about it was the clamping pieces on the bottom of the table, so
that's what holds my router under the hole in a 3/4" particle board table with
the same fence you use..

I actually bought the Lee Valley insert set a few months ago and might even use
it someday to build a better table..
