Bench Top Router Table

Bench top router tables come in handy when you do not have a lot of space in the workshop.  A lot of tables have the same features as their full time cousins and can give you a lot of the same benefits.  It is not uncommon to find a benchtop router table that you can do raised panel joinery on.  This opens up a lot of doors (no pun intended) and makes owning a table chock full of features now a matter of budget.  Most of the time the smaller bench top router tables are merly smaller versions of the larger router tables.

Features:

Look for:

• removable inserts (full size)
• adjustable split fences
• dust collection
• enough distance from the bottom of the router to the bench to give the router adequate room for air intake
• miter track (standard size)
• router track for add on such as stop block or feather boards

Stands

Most have stands that are mini steel stands or even small cabinets.  You can find different designs with small legs as well.  These usually come down to preference
