I wanted to develop a small but mighty benchtop router table, that has more function than a full size version and costs less than you could buy the materials for. But how do we get there? Today I wanted to give you a look at the product development process. Check out this video, where we take you on a journey from the concept phase to the final product!

When I started working with Tamar from 3x3 Custom on the 6 in 1 Universal Trim Router Jig I knew we had something amazing. One of the uses we talked about in the launch video was how you could use it as a makeshift router table. That worked great but had its limitations. This is a behind the scenes look at how we developed this router table to be one of the most versatile and functional products we've ever made. In this video, we'll show you everything about the development process, from the design process to the final product!
