Thread: Adjustable router mount

Can you help? Thank you!!

I have been thinking of making a vertical table, to mount a router horizontally. For mortice and tenon work, a laminate trimmer is ample.

The table doesn't need to be large, a tall (30mm or so) fence would do. Clamp the whole thing to another table (maybe a regular router table) when it's un use.

Having one end of this "table" hinged, and a bolt to wind the other end up and down would enable fine height adjustment.

After writing the above, I googled "vertical router table."

This is more elaborate than I have in mind, but it's worth mulling over:

There's another video here, I've not seen it but there are other good videos there.

I found this pic, but I don't know what article it's attached to. It's a little more elaborate than I had in mind, but looks pretty good.
