- In this woodworking tutorial I show you how to make a mini router table for a trim router (laminate router).
Trim Routers or Laminate Routers (AKA Mini Router) are meant for smaller woodworking projects and can be made even more useful by making a Mini Router Table to make them more versatile like cutting rabbets, trimming smaller wood pieces, making dados, edge banding, decorative edge trimming, and even jointing smaller pieces. Lot of possibilities of different wood joints and trims especially for smaller do it yourself projects like boxes, plaques, picture frames, miniatures and models.

I built this today with my 8 yo daughter's help. Very simple and useful build. Thanks!
At 80 years of age I have started doing some woodworking and your videos have been a great assistance to me. Thank you very much.
Cách bạn chế dụng cụ hay thật đấy .
It's not only the great work you do but the way your explain how the tools work
I installed my mini router in my table saw about 4 years ago and it works so much better now you explained about the router bearing being level with the wood
I thought that the bearing was just for free hand operation
that might seem obviates but I'm new to routers
Thx
Just started wood working and was looking for a table for a hand held router, thanks, this is simple enough for a guy like me.
My rigid trim router comes now w a square base. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! I have my wood cut to make this table. I can't wait to finish it.
I love your presentation. Your instructions are easy to understand.
I am just a beginner. I will be 63 in April! Oh yes, woodworking is for older women too! lolol
I glad I could be of help! I'm glad you're enjoying getting into woodworking ... thanks for watching!
شكرا الك انت رجل روعه احيك من العراق
This will work GREAT for my new Ryobi palm cordless!! What I like is I get to use and practice with the new router in making this little jewel!!
Did you make it? I just buy ryobi and think i can do it, just want to know how is goign
Wow Colin....Nice to be back again. I was given a trim router today as gift. Been doing the woodwork now for about 5yrs. Made a whole load of things using a big two handled beast with the power press button on the handle (have to keep thumb on button = Cramp in thumb. Thought I was stuck with it, thinking "Oh well this is how it always gonna be" {ignorance} !! Tried new trim router and it was like carving butter with a sharpe pencil !!!!! Going to make this table. {Sorry mate} Again, I'm gonna have tell the missus I thought of it !!! Been married 40yrs ;) Thanks brother.
THANK YOU. VERY WELL DONE
Thank you very much 👍🏼👍🏼💝💝
That gives me a bunch of ideas.. Ha.. Great Idea..
Colin, You're doing such a great job! One of the best woodworking teachers I have ever had (reminds me of Norm Abram). I'm not so intimidated at trying new things -- as you, often, say: "It's not that difficult!" I, often, watch your videos over and over (by the way, I enjoy your personable voice). Again, thank you!
Awesome great job
Thank You!
I saw some mini router tables but this one is the most easiest and convenient one.
Thanks.
Without doubt Colin is one of the best woodworker video hosts, so clear and easy to follow.
Hey Colin - I was just thinking of going out & spending $$ on a table for my handheld router but honestly your video brought to mind why I got the router in the first place I love wood working - so why not make my own. Brilliant job & thank you for posting it. Also I thought the lighting of the video and your cadence of delivering what you did & how you did it was perfect & easy for a beginner (sort of) like me to understand!
Ive watched so many videos on how to make a quick router table and they all are so elaborate. This one is quick and easy and simple and you explained it very well. Thank you. I will be making this one.
Ideal for a limited size workshop. Could do with making a bigger version for my 1/2 inch router.
Nice simplified video for learners such as me! Thank you.
Great job.i will try building this
Excellent
Thanks for sharing
Great idea, just put the legs about 100mm further centre and add a skirting panel/handle left and right to protect fingers when opening.
Thank you for the video
Very simply you done it. Happy to watch your video.
Wow, great! You know, I have seen a fair few videos on different designs for this recently, and most just seem needlessly complicated. Add to that the music and overproduction of other videos really gets in the way for me. This will get the job done with minimal resource and time. Also, your delivery is well paced and engaging. Brilliant! Thanks a lot.
simple little build but once again Colin, well presented, no annoying music , just clear instructions, brilliant little video, others should learn from it, thanks for posting , I'll be making one this afternoon I'll
Thanks Garry. I hope it works out well for you.
By the looks of things,you need $1000.00 worth of tools to make a $25.00 TINY router table.
Scale up. I made my big router table pretty much the same way as you did your little table top table. I use two saw horses to support mine. Works great. But, there are times I wish I had a smaller table top router table. I like your's with the legs that fold up for storage. I have enough wood laying around. I may just make one. Looks like a fun project.
Barry
Fantastic and simple but with some really nice touches such as the folding legs. Thanks. I will have to start mine right away.
Great Wayne, hope it serves you well.
Good thank you.
I've decided you can never have too many router table setups. This is a great small project for the weekend warrior...
I agree ... the only problem is finding room for all them tables ;)
Nice one, Colin. Your surname is servant in Dutch! That's what you are, you serve great ideas!
Thanks
Gerard
Cool Idea!!! Thank You Sir!!! 🤔👍😎
Thank you for the inspiration. I will add this to my list of projects to make.
I like your channel Colin. No nonsense, plain and simple for idiots like me trying to get into woodworking.
Great job Colin 😁
Brilliant! Thanks for this Colin. Not only will it save me money and space, I’ll enjoy making it too 😃
Colin, you have done it again. Great video. What makes your video so good is your speech. Crystal clear to hear and understand.
His accent /pronunciation of a lot of his words will throw you for a loop. I'm from Western KY and I laugh at every one of his videos
You have to hear the Brits speak. Sometimes i wonder if it English at all.
It's been on my list of things to do for awhile. It's getting close to the top so I will be taking a few of your ideas. Thanks Colin.
You're welcome Peter.
Sweet little setup. Great for smaller roundover bits, just like you used. Nice to have a "dedicated" setup for that type of bit, as I seem to use it on almost every shop fixture build. My larger router can stay in its table for dados, etc.
If you could accurately machine away a 1/16" or so from the near side of the "fence", you can also use this as a small sized joiner (with a straight bit of course). Excellent video, and straight to the point.
I love the way you explain everything and love your videos.
one of the best no how woodworking sites on the air
Brilliant i have been thinking about making something like this for my garage workshop. Thank you for making a very clear guide.
Cheers fella. I'll make this. Such a cool idea if one hasn't got the space. Thumbs ☝
Thanks , I like that idea ,,
What an excellent and inspiring video...thanks Colin you just saved me a lot of money.
Great video Colin thank you for sharing. You're a great teacher you explain everything so easily. It gives me the confidence to go away and try making something like that. Thanks again.
What an excellent project! Makes me regret spending money on my expensive router table. Such a simple little project and very well demonstrated - thanks Colin.
You're welcome Paul. You can definitely save a lot of money by building them yourself!
I like that.
Great vid. Thank you exactly what I was looking for with a palm router.
What a great video I will be making one myself for my new and first router thank you
Great simple router table, thanks for sharing...
Thank you Sir:-) i recently purchased a palm router and this table looks ideal . I shall give it a try :-)
Thanks for watching!
i love your watch.
That`s very simple & doable for anyone
Thanks for watching Louis
Excelente
This was great! Exactly what i needed for my tiny shop. I found hassling with the bigger router table - even to just change the bits was annoying. Can't wait to attempt to build this!
Ahhh Colin, My Woodworking Knecht-shun:)
True wood worker!
A great shop project Colin and a great way to put a trim router to work more often.
Derek
Thanks for watching Derek!
I find, you explain how to and make far easier jigs than most people on here. Kev UK
Thanks Kev!
Beautiful 👏👏👏👍
Thank you for your videos! They are so helpful to someone like me just getting started in woodworking as a hobby. I appreciate the time you take to explain each step and why you did it.
Thank you! That's a very good project! I'll try to make one like yours.
This is what wood workings all about.☺
Thanks Steven!

I have a similar table that is 2 boards that are joined with biscuits at 90degrees. The vertical piece gets clamped in my bench vise. The second board gets the mounting plate like yours. Works good and sets up quickly and works good. My complaint with mine is dust control, very messy. I usually use the router table that is mounted in a wing of my table saw. I have dust collection that works on this unit. Without the dust collection I spend twice the time cleaning my small shop than it took to do the routing. Nice build though, well thought out, folding legs are a great idea.
I think what you have has a lot of merit Ken, I thought about making a version like yours then decided a mini table might work better for me.
No wrong ways, just lots of different variations ... thanks for the note
well done
Fantastic video Colin, recently purchased a palm router and struggled to use it on some edges. This will certainly solve the problem. Keep up the good work top man...
Thank you for the idea. I only have a trim router and often wish I had a router table.
Well, there you go Todd. Thanks for watching!
Wow very practical space saving! thanks for sharing Colin!
Hello Colin
that is so helpful, as someone new to all this what i need are simple well explained ideas and that ticks the box mate
Handy little router table with lots of good features on it Colin. Good accessory for the trim router for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Ron!
Damn! Another item that I need to build to make life easier :)
I have a little Makita plunge/fixed base router. If the need arises I will remember this video. Thank Colin.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks sir..
from Malaysia!
Huge thanks for this video! I have a small trim router and was looking for a way to make something like this. Absolutely perfect for my needs. Will be building this weekend!
That's very good, Mr.WoodWorkWeb.Thank you very much.
I love it Collin.. I have a Makita compact and no router table yet so this is definitely on my to-do list right after I get over the flu..
In fact, I've been looking for just such a table build over the past few days and VOILA! Collin to the rescue! Your timing is impeccable.
I'm glad the video helped you out martino. Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks
Hi Colin, I love your videos and have learned a lot from them. In this instance I have bought an alluminium base plate to fit on my trim router to make this mini table router. It arrived in the post today so I hope to make it soon.
I have that same router only its 1.5 hp not .25. Mine came with both circle and square bases. Maybe that's something new they're doing since you bought yours. Great little router. Nice table.
What you get with them, really depends where you buy them. Thanks for watching.
Fabulous presentation. Thank you.
great little table ! I m going to make it when I have some free time ! Its exactly what I need for my limited space problem!
Thanks for watching Takis!
I am going to make the small $25.00 router table,when I can afford a $1500.00 dollar TABLE SAW!
Thank you Colin,
your videos are so pleasant to watch and learn from. I tip my hat to you, sir.
🙂👍🇨🇦
Bravo is very good ideea .
Thank You!
awesome stuff.
I loved the concept. Excellent video and demonstration. Thanks
Nice little thing...very convenient.Thank you❤👍
Great job, simple but effective as long as one knows the limitations of that set up. Nice work once again Colin............
Thanks for watching Steve!
It is exactly what i need, thank you, bro
It is a perfect and simple business, especially for beginners, like me.😂😂
Thanks a lot for sharing us that.
I loved it.
🌹🌹🌹👍
just bought a trim router and love it already. you said only a quarter horse? mine is one and a quarter makita. thanks for the vid. I will likely make one of these. the router was a gift for the wife and i might have to get her a new one as i like this one so much lol
Yes, I misspoke ... it's 1.25 Hp.
Thanks for watching!
Colin I have the same router and it came with a square base. It is called the sub base PN 519234001 is is 2.99 in US. there is also a fence that it comes with called the edge guise and the edge guide bolts.
i love your video to make mini router table. it is simple and easy to build it.... good job
