Simplicity is key in these no-frills router table plans. Many other plans are highly engineered, bulky, and take a long time to build. But the simplicity of this design makes it far more flexible than most router tables. You can build it in about 20 minutes and add a simple fence in another 10.

Designed by furniture maker Doug Stowe, it’s just a router mounted upside down on a piece of plywood. To use the table, simply clamp it to your workbench with wooden hand screws. When you’re done, just unclamp the whole fixture and store it out of the way to save space. It’s ideal for small, cramped shops.
