31) Horizontal Router Table
Some woodworkers may be more comfortable working with a horizontal router table than a vertical tip which is why this may come in handy. No, you are not viewing the image incorrectly.
This is a horizontal router table that is fastened to a wall. It is made of a single piece of lumber which has been cut and the surface smoothened out so that the frame can easily glide up and down.
A convenient dust port still remains as a part of this system and this reduces dust and dirt from your workpiece. You can make this unique horizontal router table design easy and be done in just a few hours tops.
32) Quick and Easy Router Table
One of the best things that I love about this router table is that it is tall with table top easy to access. This is not just a table though, it is also a cabinet where you can store all the things and tools you need.
Let’s first focus on the router table; it is average sized with a movable fence that can give way to larger workpieces. The fence features a dust port in the middle where the router tip is and this connects to a shop vac attachment where dust is efficiently collected.
Now the cabinet is more than just storage. There are small drawers where you can store small accessories and attachments. Large drawers, on the other hand, will be able to store large power tools and hand tools.
Overall, this is a moderately-difficult project because you will start from scratch in making the cabinet storage. You need to have more than just basic skills to be able to work on this project but using it as an inspiration is definitely a good idea.

33) Ultimate Router Table 3
This is another plan to make an ultimate versatile router table. This is a sketch of this table and as seen on this photo, this table doubles as a storage system for different tools and accessories.
The table top here is a regular router table top with the router tip in the middle, a long and wide frame that keeps the workpiece in place and a large dust port at the back connects to a shop vac. The cabinet of this router is large to hold different tools, accessories and router parts.
The space underneath the table is so large that it does not just accommodate the router body but also the shop vacuum as well. You can also roll this router table/cabinet to wherever you want to work because it has durable wheels. This is a nice project to check out and could be your next one soon.
34) Woodworker Router Table
This router table looks more like a porcelain cabinet rather than a router cabinet. This is made from scratch with the router table on top and storage system for all your woodworking tools, power tools, accessories and router parts inside the shelves and drawers.
The table top is average-sized with the router tip in the middle. The frame can be moved forward or backward and locked into position. A dust port is found near the tip in the middle part of the frame. The router can be seen underneath the table fastened by strong braces.
A large cabinet in the middle can house the shop vac so you will have a clean and neat workspace. There are no wheels for this router cabinet project, therefore, you cannot take it just anywhere.

35) Simple Router Table Plans
This is a design for a simple router table. This router table is just a table top with the router tip, a large moveable frame, and a router guard. From this angle, you can see the router which has been carefully braced at the bottom of the table.
You can also eye a safety switch found at the lower right-hand part of the table. The router table top is moderately large compared to portable models though. This one has wheels to take it to wherever you wish to go. Take it to the worksite or move it outdoors from your garage.
The large wheels can take the weight of the table as well as the weight of the router and the workpiece. This is an easy project that you should try or at least make it as a part of your woodworking bucket list.

36) Router Table Plans
You will love all the storage space and the large table top in this router table design plan. The table top has the router tip in the middle and an adjustable frame so you can use this in routing larger workpieces or more complicated materials. The large table top also makes a good place to work on different projects as well.
The router body can be accessed from the middle of the cabinet and this can also be spacious enough for the shop vac. It is barely visible from the photo but you can almost see the small space in the middle of the frame where the router tip is. This is possibly where the dust port is located.
This is quite a difficult project but by following this plan closely, you will be able to build this even if you are new to woodworking.

37) Router Table from a Reclaimed Desk
Does this project want to make your tear your desk apart to make it into a router table? As you can see, this is a router table that was actually constructed out of a basic desk. The builder did not do any upgrades at all.
The construction was not quite finished yet I this photo but nevertheless, it is easy to predict that the router will be placed at the bottom of the table with the router tip protruding from the table surface.
The builder plans to add an adjustable work fence and to improve the shelves to be able to store tools, accessories, and parts. This is an easy project and a cheap one too. If you have one desk you rarely use at home, you can use this for this project but make sure that the desk is strong and will be able to handle the weight of the router, table and the workpiece.

This router is almost free because you will be using reclaimed wood pieces and hardware. The router table has been cut from old lumber and the router fitted in the middle of the piece.
