Hi guys...
I have this table saw:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000EI965/qid=1115908612/sr=8-8/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i8_xgl60/002-6919885-0288026?v=glance&s=hi&n=507846]amazon picture
As you can see by the picture, besides the regular cast-iron table it has a laminate extension table to the right of the operator...approx 2x2'.
I also have a nice Porter-cable router, but a really, really cheap table-top router stand that is so flimsy it barely worth keeping....
Shop space is limited, but not super tight.
I had a thought the other day: is there any reason I can't drill a big 2" diameter hole into my table saw extension, and mount my router under there? The table is superheavy (steady), has a really nice fence that could double as a router fence, and it would take up zero extra space in the shop....
Anyone know of any good reason I wouldn't want to do that?
