Router Extention & zero clearance plate

COOL! I have the exact same saw. The way you installed it is pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing. Now I wish I didn’t already have a nice router table. LOL. Could have saved a lot of space.

Outstanding job, I have been thinking about getting a Rigid TS.

SWEET!!

Will you use the table saw rip fence for the router fence?

Nice job. I built a router table for the same saw also. I took off the wing, and made a larger router table though. I love being able to use the stock fence for routing.

Thanks, I’ve been eye balling my TS for a router extension and the pivot has never crossed my mind. Wonderful idea.

Great idea! I have the same saw. I’ve been thinking about building my own version of the New Yankee Workshop router table, but this would really be more practical for me because of space limitations in my gara… er, shop.

I have the 3650 and this is my summer project. The table mounting has always been a problem for me. This mounting method is SO smart.

It probably keeps that support bar from rattling too.

This is my project for tonight!! I tried to build something similar with a piece of mdf rabbetted on the sides to fit but it never worked right. Using the bolts is pure genius. Simple, effective, genius.

nice…. simplicity sometimes is a pure winner.

nice idea. fast, effective, and a great space saver..after my router table incident i need to keep it simple…is that the granite rigidTS? I am going to replace my folding ryobi and was looking at that model and the cast iron…i was wondering the diffence in table top would make?

Good job. A word of caution from my assessment.

I have set up my new Rigid TS 3650 recently and also wondered if I should add my router table to the saw like other people have done with their TSs (not necessarily the Rigid brand). I eventually decided not to do that because the fence rail is aluminum and the manual says we should not use the rail as a handle when moving the TS. That tells me the rail should better be installed and left there for its designated purpose. Over time, given the weight of the router, working on the router table, dust collection concern, etc., my fear is the fence rail on the far end where the router is installed may be distorted, throwing the fence accuracy off…. that’s a bigger concern to me. Other TS have the angle iron fence rails and I think my concerns will be fewer with that. Or may be I’m just over worried here. Another concern is the whole add-on will add weight to my table and I have a tight room to work with and the lighter the tablesaw the better in my case.
