Trim router table?

Hi DeenaKay. Over here in the UK we have a company called Trend, I am not sure if they sell their stuff where you are. They specialise in routers and everything else to do with routing, they make probably the best router tables going. Clayton very kindly sent a reply to my post saying he had good results using a round over bit in his Dremel on oak so I am going to give that a go and if it works out okay I will buy the Dremel router table. If this had not worked out for me I was going to buy a router table insert plate that is made by Trend.

 

Basically it is a plate made from something like bakerlite, it is certainly very tough. It comes with some inserts that sit flush with the surface so you can choose one to suit the router bit being used. I suppose the plate is something like 12inches long by about 8 wide and maybe 3/8 thick. Any router can be fixed to it. The idea of this plate is to make your own router table, if you were going to use say 3/4 MDF for the table itself you would rout out a recess to the thickness of the plate and then just insert it and hey presto you have one router table. It all depends on what you want to use it for, in my case it is just for rounding over square edged timber, if you want fences and guides it may better to get a proper router table.
