router table
Bit-spinning work surface
A router table is a woodworking station that mounts a router upside down beneath a flat surface, with the bit protruding through a hole.
This configuration allows the workpiece to be guided across the spinning bit rather than the router across the workpiece, enabling more precise shaping, edge profiling, and joinery work: I cut the dovetails on the router table.
