Router Table Organizer Cabinet | Woodworking Project

Check out all the cool custom features that are part of this Router Table Organizer Cabinet project. Many router tables feature an open base that is unused space. Chris Marshall built custom storage cabinets and shelves to fill the empty space under his Rockler router table.

Simple and well thought out design, not too many drawer runners to clog with that fine router dust and those bit holders look super convenient, no more skun knuckles pulling out stuck bits!

Build it with my wife and it was a fun project that went very smooth and looks great

[nohabs]

Good timing, for me. I plan to make a router table this winter. Thanks

[harrydavis]

Very nice storage for the router supplies. Thanks.

[hassanal-mosawi]

Thanks for showing how & sharing that

[Huey]

Thanks very much. I built it exactly to plan and it works very well indeed.

A very interesting design. I’m working on a similar design for Rockler’s larger stand with a router table on top.

Hi Chris, its a suuuper idear 😀👍👍👍👍 greeting from Germany

If you are planning to do this upgrade, BE CAREFUL! I'm in the process of building it now, and in the spirit of "measure twice, cut once, " I double checked the measurements given in the Woodworker's Journal article mentioned in the video, and found that the overall width and depth of my table frame are 23.5" x 17", and the base in the plans (#14 on their material list) is 25.75" x 17.75". Somewhere along the way, Rockler changed their standard router table. The Model No. in the article is 48426. I looked all over mine and couldn't find a model no. anywhere.

I'm also skipping the rabbet joints for the three boxes. I think they're an unnecessary step and simple butt joints and a few dowels should be plenty strong for just sitting there. I also skipped the bit storage shelves. I don't fancy squatting down to scan through my bits. I already have a nice wall-mounted rack at eye height. I'm going to put hooks in there to hang various wrenches, jigs, and accessories.

I've used MDf for my router bit storage and have never in 30 years had a bit stick in the hole.

great vid, Where can I get the metal box that the motor is in?

[caspianofnarnia]

The black strip that goes around the outside of the table sticks up slightly above the table so the wood sometimes sticks on it when it hits that edge? Is that how yours is too?

[dannyh.]

This set up has a small rubber shroud that goes around the bit. It catches nearly 100% of the dust that would normally fall into, through or past the router housing into the cabinet.You can still enclose the router in the cabinet just be sure you have venting holes for air draw and exhaust needed for adequate cooling. Why spend a $100.00 extra dollars on a box when you can just use the cabinet itself for enclosure. Another over rated, over priced Rockler Gimmick !

[dannyh.]

Really $ 8.00 dollars for a few pieces of plastic that might cost them 25 cents. They aren't diamonds ! Another reason I always look elsewhere before purchasing anything from Rockler!

This feels less like an informative video, and more like an infomercial for Rockler. I expected a little more/better from Woodworkers Journal. Disappointing.
