I have an older 2 older craftsman router tables that required the router to be mounted to the table top. Changing bits is hard to do from below the table despite removing the plastic shields etc. Until I get around to making another table or getting enough money to buy one I was wondering about the use of an exterder shaft.
Several companies make them and they all claim they are balanced etc. But I worry about how safe they really are.
In case I'm not explaning myself well.... What I'm talking about is a part that slips in the router like a bit does then extends the location where the bit mounts about 1 1/4" allowing the bit changing to be done above the table.
Comments anyone?
