Fun spacesaving shop project for those with (or planning to acquire) a Ridgid R4512 table saw and Bosch RA1181 router table. I'll show you how to plan and mount the router table top into the extension wing of the table saw. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the final result and encourage anyone with compatible parts to try it out. With proper planning and the right tools, the build should be less than an hour.

The video is fairly long as I wanted to document and share both my planning and build process the video quality improves after the introduction, I promise. Below, I have details on the hardware used as well as quick links to specific sections of the video. Enjoy and happy building!

HARDWARE USED:
8x 1.25" 5/16 hex bolts
8x 5/16 hex nuts
4x 3/64" (approximate thickness) 5/16 washers 1/32" thick would have been just as good, but 1/16" thick would be too large
