This is not as good as a real router table, but it is WAY better than not having one. This model is not associated in any way with Bosch or Ryobi, who would be horrified to see their excellent tools misused like this. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Printing
- PETG
- 0.2mm layers
- 6 perimeters
- 15% infill
- no supports or brim
Usage
Caution!! Routers live on a diet of mangled fingers.
- Print the three parts: tester, plate, and wall
- I recommend the new plate_lines, which has built in guidelines and mm
- Remove the battery from the router
- Unscrew the router from its original base plate
- Remove the chip shield from the router (press from the inside near the tab)
- Screw the router to the new base plate you printed, ensuring that the quick-release lever is parallel to either long side of the base plate
- Put something soft beneath the work table, just in case
- Open the worktable so the tester piece just fits on both sides
- Fit the router into the worktable grooves, starting from beneath the table
- Clamp both sides of the worktable, then loosen just enough so that the router can slide back and forth
- Slide the table stay into either of the worktable's two middle holes
- Slide the router to your desired distance from the wall part
- Firmly clamp down the router from both sides of the worktable. Both the table stay and the router should now be firmly in place
- Add the battery
- Rout away, following the arrows - the bit spins counterclockwise when facing up, so move the wood against the direction of spin, using the table stay
- Remove the battery when not in active use
As always, please let me know if you have ideas for improvements!
