I'm thinking about making a router table extension for my 36" SawStop PCS.
I know SawStop offers a new product for this, but it appears to extend to the right of the existing MDF extension table and I don't want to increase the footprint. And my fence rails would need some additional retrofit kit.
Any good plans, pictures, or ideas for doing this?
What I have in mind is essentially replacing the existing MDF extension table with more-or-less the same thing that is a tad beefier and obviously has a hole cut out for a mounting plate (I want to keep the existing MDF table uncut in case I need to sell the saw at some point). I see appeal in using an attachment on the existing T-glide fence, as then I can use it from either side. For instance I know I'll be attempting to route some long door stiles this summer and in this situation the workpiece would be to the left of the router table extension rather than to the right.
