Table Saw Wing Router Table?

[Dan Smith]

Ok, I have the G1023 with the normal 30" fence rail. I would like to put a router table to the right of the cast iron extension wing and I am looking for pictures or others who have done this. I don't have the room to go with a 50" fence rail in my shop currently, so I can really only go to the end of the current fence rail or a little past. I am thinking of using 2 layers of 3/4 MDF with laminate on both sides for the table edged with birch or maple and probably a rockler insert for the router (M12V). Any insights on best ways to attach to the table saw? only to fence rails, fence rails and extension wing? I am also thinking that I should enclose the router in a box with a dust collection port? Or can I get most of the dust from the router fence?


Thanks,


dan

Dan, I am new here and I am unclear as to how I post photos...please feel free to e-mail me so that i can forward some photos to you on my set up. I have a unisaw(..it does have 52 inch rails) i installed a plate on the right wing.....very easy to do and works great. I made a fence that slips over top of the Biesmeyer on my saw....complete with adjustable face.

Donnie, I clicked on your site but I couldn't get it to come up. Is there another way to get on it? I would really like to see what you did because I'm thinking to doing something similar.

Dan - Here is my G1023sl with a Rockler router table on the right side. I have the same space issues you do and this has worked well for me. As you can see, I did not install the right cast iron wing.

Waymon, I like your setup and I'm thinking of doing something similar. What I'm wondering about is how did you fasten the router table to the saw?

I drilled some 3/16" holes in the TS rails and thru the router table support structure (its made from 1x3 oak), and fastened with hex head bolts and washers. Works great.
