I'm making my own router table, I've made the top of the table, now I need
to figure out how to make and attach some legs.

What i've got so far is an MDF table top with some 40x20mm batten securely
screwed around the underside edge. I've also end screwed the batten at each
corner, so it seems pretty solid now.

To attach the legs, I was thinking of putting them on the insinde edge of
the corner of the batten and screwing into them from both sides and possibly
adding some glue for good measure. The table only needs to be about 30cm
high at most.
I'm not sure how stable this will be though.

Would it help if I joined the legs to each other at the bottom end with
another square of batten?

Brace the legs with bits of plywood, glued and screwed:
