Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing. I made a simple clamp on style router table that clamps to my workbench last year. I used it to make some shaker style doors - absolutely fantastic! Initially, I was using my cordless Makita trim router, but as it worked so well, I purchased one of Katzu 'knockoff' models which now lives in the table. I can also report that the dust extraction in this mode works extremely well, particularly as the tool is inverted, and most of the dust ends up in the cyclone! Nevertheless, I might just have a go at your nifty number as it might just save space, and, hey, it's always fun to add functionality to existing tools.

Hi Tomasz, I was intending to do precisely the same thing very soon for my Rage5-S so you’ve saved me a useful amount of design thinking. Many thanks. Using the principle of a drop-in filler plate as you’v made, other tools can be dropped in in a similar manner. I’m planning an inverted jigsaw with a blade guide for the tip of the blade having seen stand-alone versions on KZbin. I don’t have a bandsaw or the space or funds for a decent sized one. Other tool ideas are also possible limited only by imagination.

@CasualDIY2 жыл бұрын
I would say that's true about the katsu router but I have tackled many projects with it that in theory is not designed to do. But it tackled them flawlessly. Version 2 will be with a router lift for a plunge router that is much more powerful. But I think I will make 3 different types of lifts. Two for a plunge router but using different materials ( cheaper and more expensive ones) and a third version for the trimmer router.
