TSC-10HB, 3 wings, and your router setup
Shortly I'll have finished restoring the spare (solid) wing for The Mistress with the intention of extending the right hand side of the table. At the moment my router wing is on the left but the router gets in the way of the angle wheels' handle. I'm sorely tempted to move it to the far right so it will give me a larger support area and easier use of the fence, but then the router will get in the way of the access door if I want to open it - which I guess is the far lesser of the two evils it has to contend with.
How do you have yours setup?

Hi,
When I looked into options for mounting a router on the table saw the feeling I got was that making your own dedicated router table was a better bet. I realise that's perhaps not what you wanted to hear and it means buying or making another fence but I'm glad i did. You could incorporate your router wing as the table top. I was lucky and picked up a second hand Incra fence.
From your description it sounds like you want to extend your table saw a long way to the right with a third wing? That would maybe need extra support and while it does give you just one machine which seems more space efficient, I've found that two smaller machines is easier to live with.
Hope that helps. Also like your forum name

Ideally, that's probably what I'd like to have....a nice solid dedicated router table/cabinet. Unfortunately, as you can see in the pic (which doesn't show the ride on mower which was under the camera), space in the shed I'm currently working in is non-existent. If I want to do any work I have to pull at least the push mower out and move a bunch of things back into the doorway which traps me inside.
I'm already prepared to knock up a wider mobile base with a vertical support for the extra wing as I know it WILL topple the whole saw. I do like the idea of having a wider cut to the right of the blade with or without a router installed.
Maybe for the moment I'll just stick with two wings and the router on the left until I can manage to get some more room to work in. It's not like I could cut up sheets in there now anyway.
It's always nice to meet another red shirt. So many of us have fallen in the call of duty, and few have been remembered

I mounted the router table wing to the right. Works fine other than it is a little tippy while moving the saw on its mobile base and the access on the odd occasion when I drop the nut
