Below the 10ER table saw table
I'm going to acquire a 10ER SS soon and I was wondering if I could remove the insert for the table saw blade, remove the blade and whatnot, and make a system so that I could mount a router beneath it and use it as a router table. Is there anything in the way of me doing so?

It is the bar under the table which supports the table and connects the two ends of the trunion(the thing which rotates when tilting the table) and the support tubes.patm1313 wrote:Thanks. What is the table tie bar?

Here are a couple of pictures of the underside:

If you keep to a smaller router it might just fit but no promises on that.

Hi,
Wish I could take some measurements for you except the pictures are from one that I no longer have so I have nothing to measure.
It sounds like a interesting thing to try so if you do decide to go that way please take some pictures and then post the results. My two tool loves are routers and the shopsmith and combining them makes it even more interesting.
