For many years I've always had an extra RAS that I bought to convert to a radial arm router. I would pick up a RAS, and never paid more than $125, and then plan to remove the saw head, and mount a router.
Actually it would be a pretty simple conversion. Maybe a bracket or two to get welded up. So, what would happen is I would get busy and kept putting it off. Would wind up selling the RAS, because it was always in the way. Then I'd get the bug again, and then sell again. The third RAS, I just gave away a couple of months ago to a friend.
The uses would have been varied from repetitive rabbets on drawer sides to simple dadoes. Has anyone here done this? Any comments on this conversion?
