Like many, I have a limited amount of space to work with. I am trying to find a way to fit a router into my shop. One of my potential solutions is to replace my table saw outfeed table with the router. I would plan to build the router table lower than my table saw, so I could place a false table top over the router. I would park the gantry at the far end thus giving room during ripping of stock.
I would plan for the bridge of the gantry to allow long stock (8' or longer) to slide underneath during long rips. In cross cut of sheet goods, the table size (48 X 48 minimum, considering 48 X 96) will accomodate.
Thoughts?
