This is an interesting accessory I just learned about (on Valentines Day, while shopping for other things) at my local Sears....
In case you're wondering what it is, it's a router table insert which fits 27" deep table saws. Not sure if it's quite heavy duty enough for all the things I would like to do, but at first glance it looks pretty good, and it's hard to argue with the price, at $109.99.
It looks like a possible alternative for those (like me) who are "space challenged" when setting up a modest woodwoorking shop.
Though router adapter plates are available so a wide range of routers could be fitted, I suspect rather than put my Cable and Porter "big guy" plunge router in something like this, buying a big Hitachi as a dedicated tool for the platform would make a lot of sense.
Now I'd better duck and cover, 'cause sure as the sun shines first in the east, I know Hank will have some good reasons why I shouldn't even consider this, depending on the size of my work pieces! :W
And since he knows woodworking like I know zero loop feedback analog electronics, I'd probably better listen to the big guy.... :LOL:
BTW, feeling great this last week- legs and lower back haven't been this good in over a year. I smell springtime and the sweet scent of MDF dust in the air!
