A router table turns a handheld router into a stationary tool. The router gets attached to the router table upside down in order to enable the workpiece to be fed through the router (as of this, it is for a router what a table saw is for a circular saw).
It is very important to realize that the exposed router bit is not only dangerous because of its sharp edges, but also because it can rip the workpiece out of your hand and let it fly across the workshop. To make sure that you are in control and not the router, ONLY feed workpieces through from the right to the left side if you are working in front of the router bit and vice-versa! You should understand why this is important after getting the router introduction.
Please also see Project:Router Table in case you are planning to build your own.
Compatible Routers
- The KingCraft KBF-1050E router is currently attached to the table.
