Table saw update and router table

Like everyone, I’m plagued with a lack of storage space. I love my old delta (1960’s?) and the sliding carriage saves my old back. But with a 4 x 8 out feed table, it took up way too much space. Much of the space under the table was not useable. I also wanted another router station. So this is what I came up with. 1= Front view; Changed the location of the switch and updated it with a paddle. Dedicated place for the wrench that I could never find! And a few 22” drawers. 2=LS; changed 2-1/2 DC to 4”, Added 120v outlet, retractable support arm, since I made the table much smaller. 3=LS; arm retracted, 4=back; more drawers, 24” deep, full ext 150 lb cap. Place for router DC. 5=RS; Router table, another paddle switch, more 24” drawers. Ones under router are 18”. Doors for router box are in the paint room awaiting Plexiglas. Addition is made in three sections, bolted together. (might need to move it someday).

Wow, you watch 'The Price is Right'?

Seriously, nice work.

I'm designing a table that will fit on the right side of my Jet 10" Contractor saw. There is about 37" of space from the end of the cast iron top to the end of the rails. I ought to be able to do something with that.

That's one *mighty* sweet setup, Harry!!!! <Looking at the details you've incorporated> A very well designed and executed solution... I'm jealous! :)
