I have come way late into this but here is a link to my earlier post:

The follow-up thoughts:
1) Attaching the table to the mitre saw is a mistake. One can use one or the other but not both at the same time. Which is a pain.
2) A piece of 2x4 jointed on my other fence works fine as a fence. At. $1.74 for 8' I can have many fences...
3) The knobbly clamps sold by OP are great. The cost including postage is $35. Here is a pair made from cheap clamps bought on sale for less than a third of that:

4) I have found a way to make a removable elevated bench on top of my Black and Decker workmate using some 4x4s and a piece of plywood from the now defunct ******* lathe. I am thinking of making a router table top in a similar way this time using one of the cheap phenolic plates to give me the option to use bigger cutters.
