You will need the combined router/jigsaw sliding holding plate (similar to the sliding saw chassis) to mount the router/jigsaw in the MK3 as well as the original router top (later versions won't fit it) instead of the saw table top.

If you don't have the router top it is quite easy to make your own router top to fit the MK3 using your table top as a template.

If you make a router top then you could also make a drop in mounting plate for your jigsaw and one for the router and use the MK3 frame as the supports. Plenty of posts on making router tops etc. Searching will help.

Thanks for that gentlemen never thought for fitting the jigsaw to the router top and now I have the Mk3
