I finished up this router table the other day, and thought I would post a couple pics so others could see. The stand is from an old Ridgid table saw stand. I just cut the legs down with my angle grinder. The top is made from 2 pieces of 1/2” MDF topped with plastic laminate. It measures 20”x30”x1” thick. I took special care when I routed out the insert top. I wanted it to look like professional. I epoxied 5/16 nylock nuts all round for the leveling bolts to set in. The router plate, miter slot, and 3.5hp Porter Cable router I picked up on Craigslist a couple years ago. I just recently bought the Rockler fence and featherboards on sale. I like to keep things portable, otherwise I would of built a full size table.

Very nicely done. Ingenious use of the old tool stand. Bet that it’s rock solid. I like it!
Cheers!
