Router Cabinet vs Another option

Sonny · 2009-11-27T22:39:51+00:00

I recently bought a Milwaulkee router, model or catelogue # 5625-20.I don't have a router cabinet, though I've considered making or buyingone. I've discovered this set-up, router mounted under the right sideof the table saw extension table: this a practical option for mounting a router? I have 2 Unisawswith extension tables and if this is a reasonable option for routerplacement, I may opt for this kind of mounting.One extension table is 3/4" ply with formica top (rough cutting,utility blade saw) and the other extension table is 1-1/2" solid woodwith formica top (fine, delicate and/or precision cutting WWII bladesaw). Both saws with Delta 50" Unifence. I would suspect theUnifences are not recommended for router use. Is this correct or isthere a modification (sacrificial board?) that can be added to aUnifence for use with a router? In the link, I see no separate fencefor the router. Also, which extension table might best be used forthe router? I'm thinking the 3/4".... I kinna don't like the idea ofcutting a hole in my big 1-1/2" thick extension table (4' W X 6' L).* I haven't used the new router, yet, to know if it will rise farenough to clear a 1-1/2" thick table top properly.Thanks for any help.Sonny

Wow, there are different _sizes_ of radio alarm saws? Whoda thunk it?

Surely you don't think everyone saws the same sized logs? It takes a bigger radio alarm for big logs.

What trunk?
