I know having your router mounted in the table saw looks like an elegant solution to saving space but there are some things to consider. The most time consuming part of routing is doing your set up. Anything you can do to make this easier and or faster is a great benefit. Before you can use your saw you will need to lower your router and remove any jigs or fixtures. This means more set up time between jobs. It's also more difficult to attach clamps or jigs to a saw mounted router table. I looked at the Craftsman saw table mount and decided it would be much more difficult to adjust the router mounted under it. You are better off building a table and having casters on the bottom so it will roll under your saw table for storage when not in use. (Meaning seldom!)
