Over the past few years I have knocked up a couple of crude trimmer router tables from chipboard and plywood to complete various projects and they have been very successful .
I have had in my mind for some time to build some portable tables on castors for my Trimmer router and Jigsaw and purchased 2x wooden filing cabinets . The tops measure 640mm x 450mm and into that I'm looking to drop 120mm square router/jigsaw inserts and some T tracks. The idea is to roll the cabinet tables under and out from my workbench and also use them to support sheets for ripping etc
I have looked at dozens of DIY mini tables on youtube but still not entirely sure how best to construct this .....ie where to best position the router on the top and where to place the tracks .
How best to construct a fence that is easy to fix, adjust and remove without requiring complicated and expensive clamps and adjusting systems.
I'd appreciate any ideas you may have particularly if you can provide links to construction videos or images etc.
