Router is a very helpful tool in woodworking. It can be used to help with molding, cutting angles, cabinetry and much more. It’s hard to imagine building anything complicated without one. Routers might be the most important tool a woodworker could use.
Most people use routers as a handheld tool. While it’s a viable option, a router mounted in a table (or a router table) is safer to use and can be used to cut on a whole different level.
Now, if you’re looking to build a router table by yourself, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve collected 10 of the best DIY router table plans. Here they are:

6. The DIY Router Table
I love this router table, and I love the article that tells you how to build it. The reason why I love the article is because they not only tell you how to build it, but they give you a finished product. It gives you a little encouragement as you tackle a new project.
But I really love the design of the project because it is super simple. Not everyone wants an extravagant router table. So for those that desire something on the basic side this is a great option.
7. Fold Away Router Table
I’m a fan of this router table. It isn’t quite murphy style but it is really unique and great for houses or storage buildings that don’t have a ton of storage space.
So this router table can be attached to a work bench. You pull it up when in use and then just fold it away when not in use. It reminds me of the old TV dinner trays. Those were handy and so is this router table.
8. The Ultimate Router Table
This router table is all you could really every want in a router table. It obviously has great workspace for any project you and your router might get into together.
But it also has loads of storage space. There are pull out drawers and two full cabinets too. This would be a woodworkers dream.
9. The Ultimate Router Table #2
This is another ultimate router table. It has all of the functionality you could ever want. Just imagine all of the amazing projects you could build with this as your router table.
But it also has a ton of storage too. So if you’d like cabinet space or drawers this one has it all. Not only could you build until your heart is content but stay organized while doing it.
10. Simple Router Table Plans
This router table is very basic. It doesn’t offer any kind of storage. It is basically a workspace and that is it.
But if you don’t desire to have any additional bells and whistles then this workspace might work great for you. It is a good size and should be easy to utilize.
