Hi all, Jason…..
I see where ur going, I thought/assumed that ur going to mount the router chuck on the main spindle….i.e. using the r/bit horizontaly……..
if so a couple of things I forgot to add, if the above is so, surely it'll, lengthwise be out of line with the where the table inserts go (also, induce wobble/vibration, even on my 3/4 ton Wadkin the spindle wasn't that good) and the other is the saw arbour won't raise enough to get all the cutting edge thru the plate……
My old cheapo r/table, now long gone did have a T slot with the sliding adjustable angle thingy….hahaha…grey hair moment…..it was around £35……
also, I like to feed the wood thru by hand so that u can get the perfect feed rate…….
my ally r/table complete with it's 3hp Hitachi router is not that heavy and is stored on a high shelf….I also have a problem with storage but this dedicated r/table is always ready for use…….I perfer to make shavings than mess about with machines…….
it seems a waste of time to disasemble the saw when a cheap option is readily available……mind I have seen some marvelous home made router tables…….perhaps that would be a good project to do……
I always fancied 1 of those American remote hight adjustment table inserts……..couldn't justify the the high cost let alone the import duty…….
good luck…..I only want to help…….Clogs……..
