Tilt Table

Perhaps the router on a restricted gimble so it can tilt in any direction but be limited to 10 degrees?

My concern is the articulation of the router arm. If the table is tilted, the arm would have to be tilted as well which would require the articulation to compensate for the difference in the direction the weight would travel.

Interesting stuff.

Sure it will. The supporting structure for the articulated arm is attached to the table base. The table base is where the hinge is located that controls the tilt of the table. The lazy susan sits on top of the table base to allow the table to rotate. When the tilt is enabled, a strap between the tilt and the table base below the hinge increases the spring tension on the articulated arm thus compensating for the difference in the weight of the router. (bad terminology) Did I get this close?
