I recall someone in the not too distant past posted some photos of their MM Slider that had a router table built into it. I have tried searching but my search skills must be pretty low so I am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Do you mean a shaper (not a router, but similar function) .

Minimax makes several of these ranging in price and features:

Perhaps it was Jim Becker that added a router table to his slider, but that was a while back.

I had a customer who did this to his SC3 and sent me photos but don't have access to them any more. IIRC, he replaced the steel outfeed table with a laminated ply one and it had the router lift in there. He apparently loved it but I've lost touch since then.

Hi Chris

As I mentioned to you elsewhere, I don't think that this is what you had in mind, however someone else here may find it useful ...

My Hammer K3 Winner has the short outer table. I decided to built a router table into this ..

It is a work in progress at this time, and I'll post pictures if anyone is interested (I'm sure the audience for this is tiny) ...

This is where the router plate will be situated ...

Jim Becker did indeed add a Bench Dog rig to his machine.

Yes, it's mine. There's a whole thread here about it:

Thanks Jim. I was responding from my phone and searching is awkward.
