Bench Router ... how to make one ?
 

How do I make up a bench router .
The local store has table for sale , but without the motor installed .
Elsewhere I've seen plans to make the table as a project .

If I go for either of the above , what is used for the router 'engine' .
Does one upturn a standard store-bought plunge router and bolt it to the
underside of the table in some way ?

Anybody done this ?

Help please , I'm confused about this .

And more often than not, they are not plunge routers. JG

Yes, it is an upturned router. It is that simple.

Can't say how to make one. The router table essential elements a
The stand, the top and fence. Many ways to make each. One example at
