OK, so I want to finally mount my new router lift. The question is - where? I was originally planning on mounting it in an older router table given to me years ago. Nothing special - an OK sized top, a decent fence, but a basic metal-frame stand. I also am considering mounting it in the extension table of my TS, to save the added space of yet another roll around cart (I have very small workshop).
Extension table - seems like a 'natural fit' for a small shop, and I can build a storage cabinet under the table for all the router stuff. The downside is if I want to keep the TS and router set up for use at the same time, and also losing some space under the table for a router box.
Free standing table - flexibility in using TS and router at the same time, and customizing the cart for storage. The downside is space, and the fact that my current table is ok, but nothing over which I'd shed a tear if I got rid of it.
Any thoughts on these approaches, or different ideas? Also, for those of you who have built a lot of storage (Router table or not) into the extension wing of a TS, what impact has it had on the mobility of the TS in a mobile base?
