Default Hey Bobi3: RAS router mounting

Took a while to get around to pics on the mounting method that I used. Instead of the sabre saw mounting(like yours) I had a molding head which I no longer use hence the guard for same was utilized in my mounting of the router. I took the base off the old Craftsman made up a wood clamp to attach
the router to the backplate. I had to retain the router handles due to the intregal switch. The whole assy slips on in place of the saw blade guard.

Thanks Lee
Looks like they both work about the same way.
The only error I run in to sometimes is keeping the RadioArmSaw table true with the arm of the saw, if I run in on a 45deg. slot. it will not be true on the outer end, so I need to shim the stock,just a bit.
But other than that it works great...for the hard router cuts I sometimes make.

Keeping the table top parallel to the arm of the saw was a problem with me as well mainly because I store a lot of stuff on the wall behind the saw & now & then I would inadvertantly stand on the saw table when accessing a tool off the wall. I changed out the washers on the bolts used for adjusting the table for those thingy washers that are all serrated around the outer edges. Now I think I could tap dance on the saw table without it moving on me.
