Okay Bj and Corey......

I just went out and sized up my Oak-Park table and came up with the following: 14 1/2" H, 29" L, and 16" D (almost identical to your mini tables from what I see on Bj's ruler). It has an 11" X 11" plate holding up that big Hitachi 3HP router. There are times where it wears me out lifting that big ole router in and out of the table to change bits and I believe that little Colt would be a great option to trade out when doing smaller work which would be 80-85% of the time.

Here is the challange. Since there would be little to no benefit in building a 2nd table of near identical size and weight when I could possibly make a dual purpose out of my existing table, by coming up with a way to exchage the insert plate. What about if I considered a reducer frame for the existing table hole that would take it down to a size that would hold a plate for the colt? Would it be better to simply order an 11X11 undrilled plate and mount the Colt to it? How about some ideas from you 2 geniouses that might work and save me some work and space. I may be on to something but haven't enough brain cells left to finish the thought process
