Good day

Most of the router tables are in a cabinet.

Because I don't use cabinet as router table, I made a mock-up so, a little bit of imagination please...

I have the Hitachi M8 router.
On the last 2 pics, I removed the back-cover to show that the center part over the motor/rotor is blocked (same on the cover), and gluing a metal plate of 3/4"~1" will not effect the cooling airflow.
Please check your router.

Regards
niki

Nice idea. Over on the Wood Central, Shop Shots, some guy used the motor mechnism from an automobile electric seat to run router up and down.

Thank you for your kind replies

Just an idea, for quick release (in/out) of the screw (bolt).

I did not try it yet, it's just a thought...

Because the screw is made of plastic and bigger in diameter, no need to glue any metal plate
