Awhile back, picked a router table at a garage sale...$20.   Not great, but I thought i could find some room for it in the Dungeon Shop.    Made by SKIL, had a few fences and other goodies included.  sat for awhile, My NEW Craftsman router would not fit it, way too big.   Went to a Moving day sale.... and picked a B&D Industrial Heavy Duty 1/4" router.

 

Hmm, maybe try it in the table?     Found out real quickly, B7D and Skil just don't mix the well.    Adapter plate wasn't even close, holes were way too big.   So, I flipped the table over, onto it's top.   Took the base plate off the B&D router ( LOTS of caked up drywall dust under it?) and laid the base plate in it's place.   Drilled the three mounting holes through the table.   Flipped the table back upright, and countersunk the three holes.   Tossed the base plate away.  was broken anyway.   Three small bolts to attach the router to it's new home.About like this.  Tried to get the dang thing centered as best as i could.  The three bolts are quite small, too you can just make out two of them here. 

 

Attached the fence.and dug up the miter gauge that came with the table.   Plugged the router in for a test drive.....worked good!    Mitre gauge is junk, though.   So, now I have a $23  router table with router.   That means I need to go and buy a new E-cord to hook it up with.    Table has two outlets, one for the router, one for a shop-vac to hook to the fence's outlet.   And a 12" cord....

 

Cord on the router is way too long.  I think this might work a wee bit better than the other way I was doing thingsYa think??

Well, this little table now has a stand to sit on, rather than the top of a tool chest.   Sits a bit higher than the workbench.  

Hey Steve, looks like your ready to build a router table, neanderthal style!

HEY STEVE, IF YOU WRAP THE LEGS IN INNERTUBE RUBBER FROM LEG TO LEG YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HOOK UP A VACUUM TO THE WHOLE THING TO COLLECT THE CHIPS.
