Budget router table mounted on a budget table saw

I have thought about mounting a small router table on my Evolution Rage 5s table saw for quite a while now and after seeing CasualDIY on youtube I was inspired as he solved some of the queries I had.
I considered buying a cheap router but decided to use my Makita RP0900 and maybe get a trim router for handheld work. I still have a Triton TRA for bigger jobs. The table fits into the right hand saw table extension in seconds. The fence sits on the tablesaw fence and is locked into place via the knob on top.
I played around with the router for a while to see if I could make some sort of above table winder and the solution seems to work well although I have no idea of it's longevity.
Dust extraction through the fence works well so I have achieved all I was after.

Pretty similar to what I did. My saw had a laminate extension wing anyhow so it was easy to cut a hole and drop in an insert plate. I also made a fence with extraction that clamps to the saw fence. I figured that whatever router was in the table would just stay there so got a Ryobi with a wind up handle to save having to come up with some kind of lift. Lifted the on/off switch from an old benchtop router table. Such a space saver having the router in a saw wing. Its there any time you need and apart from having to store the fence someplace taking up no room at all.
