Here is the benchtop horizontal router table I’ve been planning to build for a long time. It’s great for milling tenons, sliding dovetail tail boards, raised panels using vertical router bits, and molding edges of wide boards, all that keeping workpieces flat on the tabletop. I was inspired by Ernie Conover’s design and it’s all made out of MDF.
The router bit height adjustment is deadly simple yet very effective. Note that I made it to be stored vertically to save space in my basement workshop.
This is a great addition to my workshop.
To see all the detailled constructions, including tips and videos, look for it on the following link :

Very cool Serge.. I like the small wedge you use to hold the fence while you tighten the knobs.

Hi Bricofleur,
I am just beginning to build a horizontal table. Hope it turns out as well as yours. I will post when finished. Am trying to incorporate both vertical and horizontal in the same table, consequently quite large.

Just from the look of the signature material (MDF) used and the shop-made knobs, I knew this was another contribution from Serge!
