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 .
Chris
Can't say how to make one. The router table essential elements are:
The stand, the top and fence. Many ways to make each. One example at
the http://www.patwarner.com/router_table link.

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