I just wanted to show off my latest craigslist finds and project.
Got the 3650 from a guy that bought it new about 6 years ago and used it once for a small cabinet project. I think I got a decent deal at $180.

I found the 893 for $100 and it doesn't look like it has been used much.

First project was to make a router extension for the table saw...
A nice beefy aluminum Woodpecker router plate.

Gluing up the 3/4" and 1/2" mdf... I need to get some more clamps!

Laminate on and trimmed up.

Hole for the plate done. It isn't perfect, but it was my first day using a router.

I wanted to make sure the wood frame didn't go anywhere since that is what attaches to the table saw, so I added some bracing.

I drilled three holes into the cast iron wing of the table saw. And then two bolts slip into the tracks of the fence track.

All finished!

Now I just need to make some sort of add on to the stock fence so I can use it for the router.
I just ordered some Sommerfeld router bits and the plan is to remodel the kitchen... can't wait to get started!
