:confused:Has any one built a small Palm Router table.
I have the Rigid, and would like to mount it into a small table.
Any ideas?

ShopNotes had one a while ago. Here is a link to their site with the plans:

I have not built it, but It looks just like I would expect it to.

Some magazine had a guy who had built a small extension RT on his bandsaw using a Colt.

ShopNotes has a more recent issue with a collapsable router table. The table folds into a briefcase-like deal. The router is fixed to the table with toggle clamps. I'm sure you could size it for a palm router...

I have one of these (http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-231-Shaper-Router-Table/dp/B0000302Y9).
Works great for those times that I need it.
It was cheaper to buy than the materials to make one, even after paying $29.00 (on sale) for the Dremel 100 that shares time between the table and the drill press.
Thought about buying a Bosch trim router and making a small table for it, but decided against it.
I already have a Ryobi/table combo for small stuff & a larger table mounted Freud 1700 for bigger stuff.
Looked into some way to table mount my Roto-Zip.
Ended up just springing the ~$30.00 for the Dremel attachment.
One caution though.
Trim routers (other than a Roto-Zip) are not designed with the idea in mind that a lot of dust/debris is going to "fall into" the motor.
Really, really, really beef up the DC if you mount your trim router upside down in a table.
