Description
Recently I made a 65mm router base, you can find it here:

But when you mount it under a table, the dust removal is not perfect, because there is too much air flying by. So I decided to make a complete table with parallel guide that is stable enough and really removes 100% dust - at least with my Kärcher MV 5 connected. I'm using it in the same room as my computer and 3D printer, so wood dust is no option.
Here it is. It is 240mm x 200mm and 10mm thick, so you can easily extend it by using 10mm wood. I printed it in PETG CF with a 0.6mm nozzle, 20%infill and 3 walls (1.8mm), which came out nice and stiff. But I think you can also use other materials without hesitation, as long as you don't skimp too much on the quantity; the table has to be very stable. With a 0.4 nozzle, set a minimum of 4 walls.
To fix the angle and secure the milling cutter, I used the clamping lever that I uploaded previously, together with M4x25 countersink screws:

But of course, you can also use any other star knob, wing nut, or similar for M4. For the guide rails on the underside, you need to print the “M4 Nutenstein” (slot nut) model twice and insert a M4 nut.
The milling table can then be embedded in a workbench, screwed to a wall using brackets, or simply clamped into a mobile workbench, as shown in my pictures.
Have fun woodworking and please leave me a message what you think about this model!
