   Here is is my saw with the router insert. I didn't have the space in my old shop but the new shop allows me to have a router table. I had a fence similar to the one on Norms's router table that fit over my saw fence. It worked good but I found it got in the way from time to time.

   Tom, I have the Veritas solid steel table top mounted on my Jet contractor's saw, hinged so it can drop down out of the way if I need to.  That same arrangement would work on virtually any saw, IMO.  The advantage of mounting it that way is that I can drop the whole thing down, with the fence set and the bit up, and not lose any of the set-up. 

   The Veritas table has a univeresal mounting system, so you can change routers to your heart's content over the years.  The table-top can also be lifted off the frame and used on a portable base outside or taken to a construction site, etc.

   I made my own fence to use until I can buy the Veritas fence.  Here's a link to the tabletop:
