Converting table saw bench to router table

[46150]

I have a MJ2325 carba tec table saw and was thinking of removing a leaf to incorporate a router table using the existing bed to bolt on the attachment and using the existing guide rails and fence.Has any one else tried this?Regards ..........AL

I did this to my saw table and am pretty happy with it.
Bought two 8 x 10 inch phenolic router inserts and can change them out without changing router height (with two routers) which is handy for cope and stick.
Need to route a one half inch deep mortise in the table. Definitely use a template so you get a slop-free fit.
