I expect it could be built without an existing router table, 
but even so - cobbling something together that even just 
barely did the job of building the better tool is how 
precision tools came about. Just don't do what I do, which is 
cobbling something together that works well enough to use 
without building the better one. You can end up with a lot of 
ugly tools that way.

I use my table saw extension, modified as necessary. It does 
what I need, so far, and didn't generate another bulky tool to 
find a place for in the shop. I've been out of places for some 
time.
