    Default Quick router mini table for your work bench

    I built this quick mini router table to be used with my work bench and bench vise.
    The router is a palm router Bosch brand.
    the sketch below shows the details ask any questions

    Any pics of your actual build? I've also built a mini router table (which has some flaws, but is decent enough) for my palm router, so curious to compare - I probably made mine more complex than it actually needed to be (and is a bit high when clamped to my workbench).

    It's pronounced why-kick-a-moo-cow.

    Simple but gets the job done. That's a nod from me.

    Looks the goods. I recently saw this product on YouTube that is the splitting image of yours. All for the low low price of $129.99 USD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-H7Ec6ZkXI&feature=youtu.be

    I saw the same video the same day. Jonathan did point out it was cheaper than you can buy the parts for

    But agree with you, it looks the spitting image - considering it myself.

    I don't know who stole whose design, but I know they shouldn't have done it!

    I went the other way and mounted my old Ryobi plunge router under my bench. Only cost was a Kreg bench insert and a "Supercheap Auto" router lift. And I wired the power through the switch mounted to the left of the router. Works well for me so far.
