Would this be good for a router table base? I need a way to fold up and hang my router table when not in use. Is it sturdy enough for that? Also, how wide are the legs at the ground?

Center to center, the legs are ~23", ~24" outside to outside. This is almost identical to the depth of the legs on my "store bought" router table.Yes, these things make a sturdy shooting table, rifle pistol work bench, saw horse, whatever! I say, go for it!I would build a strong perimeter 2x6 (laid flat) frame to mount the legs and table top to since the center must be open to mount the router. You could do an offset mount but that would put the center of gravity off, I think you want the CG working for you so you should center it.

This is a very sturdy set up! I bought it to build a portable shooting table, and it works great! You definitely won't be disappointed.

I have some experience with router tables and feel these legs would work well. I have the 34"legs and would guess they are 18 inches wide. They are not currently here so I can't measure. I made a shooting bench and it is very stable, you can lean into the table top without it moving. I hope this helps

Legs are 2' wide at the base. I used mine for a shooting table. I see that there is some lateral left/right play when pushing on it. So if you don't mind a little play/wiggle when feeding stock through your Router table, then they would work fine. Don't think you'll have a problem chasing your table around the shop as long as the floor is clean so the rubber feet can grip

Aprox 24" at the Ground, aprox 34" to table top, I don't believe it is stable enough for Router work, it has alittle wobble, I use them on A shooter's table with Dead Bags @ a Back yard range for Air Rifles, they are Perfect for that Configuration

As the others have stated this can be attached to a router table. You will need to carefully lay out your hole pattern to insure that the router is centered in the table. Remove the bottom plate and use it to center the router and mark your bolt pattern. There may be a pre drilled router plate available but I have no first hand knowledge of this. Check Amazon, Peachtree, Rockler, Lee Valley etc. Good Luck and Good Routing

I don't see why not. You most likely would need to buy a plate to fit your router table from Rockler or Woodcraft or another woodworking source. Then you would need to drill the plate to fit the bolt pattern of your router base plate. I really love using this little guy by hand and using my big 3hp router in the table. But if you were only going to buy this one router, then it is worth the time it takes to adapt it for table use.

The approximate maximum diameter opening as mounted on my router table is 3". I presume that you'd want to mount the router on a table when using a bit approaching that diameter. This measurement is without the plastic insert that is normally installed around the bit to offer support to the workpiece; however, the insert is not needed if you need all 3" of the available diameter. Hope this helps.

I have both and I don't think you would be able to mount the Trio to it, the table is too large. I have a full size Bosch router on it. You should go to instructables dot com and look for the router table for the Trio, they have step by step instructions on how to build it with plywood, 2x4s and 1x6s. It seems pretty easy to build with your Trio, a saw and a drill.

You should have enough space. I've never had to change motors... If I had to, I would probably take out the screws from the top leveling plate and pull it up through the top rather than unbolt the router table from the base cabinet. I made my own base so I would have drawers for router bits and accessories I buy for it.

First of all I love this router and the base will fit just about any table without any attachments I have a Bosch table Wich skil is made by bosch and it works great and I love the table also.

Rockler has great router tables that won't break the bank. I have one and i love it. They have a throat plate that is specifay designed for this router which makes installing it extremely easy because the holes in the plate line up with the holes in the router. Honestly any router table would work with this router (woodpecker, jess-em etc.) but these can be a bit pricey.

No router tables don't use this. What do u need it 4. If its to hold down wood while routing I use feather boards. If using it to mark a position to start/stop routing u can use a stop or mark the wood. I want to help so ask away......what is ur intended use.

Although I could be wrong, I will say no. I have. Couple router tables and they use full size routers. I'm sure you could make your own adapter plate and fit this one. But the router tables I on are designed for and bolt directly to a full size router. Also, this router is small, it takes 1/4" bits, great for quick hand routing, not so good for a router table.

This is a fairly light duty router. If you are cutting 3/4" wide dadoes, it will do it if you take light, successive passes. If that is the main function of the router, I'd go with something beefier that has a 1/2" collet. This is a great little router for trimming edges, round overs, ogees, etc. and for light jobs where you need a plunge.

You could figure out how to do it, I'm sure, but I wouldn't recommend it. My own opinion is that you need a router with a little more guts to stick in a router table. This one is really for more delicate work, like mortising hinges or routing in inlay.

Hello Gary, You might want to take a look at the Porter-Cable 698 Bench Top Router Table. I think it might be what you are looking for.

The answer is yes I think, Becuse I use this as a straight edge to route with like a set edge on a table top router. I hope this helps?

I would think not. The mounting part is permanent and would interfere with table saw operations. They do make a table saw fence that might serve for table saw and router operations, but I'm not familiar with it.

I love this table. When it comes to routing, I'm a novice but have, in my opinion, produced some really nice wood products like trim that goes around door and windows and a, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's basically a window box table, a piece of plexiglass is the top and I can place item inside of the table for display. Anyway you shouldn't have a problem mounting a Dewalt router on this table. Also love Kreg products.
