What are the two things that almost every wood worker needs more of….if you said tools and space you are correct. I had the tools but I don’t have the space right now. I had a bench top table saw but the table wasn’t as big as I would have liked. I needed a router table and a work bench, so I decided to combine the three and this is what I came up with. The top is 32”x72” built with 3/4” maple ply and trimmed in oak; the base is built with 2”x6” pine and it roles on 3” locking casters. Here are the different parts…Old bench top table saw, Delta T2 fence, Incra V27 Mitre Gauge w/ Incra tracks, Freud router w/ Pinnacle plate. It took me about a week to finish the project. Thanks for looking.

The answer to your question in the subject line is clearly YES!
Great job.

Looks like a very practical solution to a real problem. Of course, now you’ll need to clean off the bench to use the table saw, but you probably had that problem already with a bench TS. Looks good!

Great job! Do you use an extension face on the miter gauge since the slot is farther from the blade?

It really solved your space issue. I can`t wait to see it.
I know alot of thought went in to it.
Great execution also!

Nice solution to the space problem. Better solution to the small table of table saw problem.

I’m in the same position and have been contemplating exactly what you have built for some time now. Thank you for building it, it looks great!

great design, I myself am lookng for space saving/ dual purpose equipment. Did you do a plan for it? how did you arrive at your measurements. I would like to try to build it.
