Here is a pic. before I made the modifications.

The rip scale that comes with the saw goes to 35" so I had to make the extension 7" wider than the one that comes with the saw,so now I can rip 35" wide instead of 29".
I moved the fence tube about 6" to the right, I drilled and tapped new 5/16" holes for the tube, I left the heavy angle iron in the front where it was. I moved the back rail over but I can't remember how much.
The table extension is double 3/4" thickness of black laminated melamine and it sits on 1 1/2" x 1/4" thick angle iron bolted to the rails that came with the saw.
I bought this lift http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2005029/3006/JessEm-Rout-R-Lift-FX.aspx because I have a PC 890 router.
The fence is home made and works very well. Two 3/8" threaded knobs screw into threaded inserts embedded under the top layer of the extension and holds the fence secure.
I'm still in the process of building a mobile base with legs for the extension because there is just a little too much added width to the right ( I added 20", 7" more then the factory extension)
Here are the are the after pictures:D
