As far as the fence goes, if you can get your hands on a Nov 2004 "Wood"
they have plans for a fence that has three mounting options, one of which is
to a T/S fence. They simply put a short vertical on the back edge of the
router fence assembly and clamp it to the T/S fence. I was recently talking
to someone who built a 'saddle box' to sit over top of the rip fence. He
then bored two holes in the saddle on the side opposite the router fence and
uses two De-Sta-Co clamps to hold it tight to the rip fence. I think that
when I build the fence from Wood magazine I will modify it to use the saddle
box and the De-Sta-Co's.

I am putting a router table in as my TS left wing. I don't want to make it
any heavier than necessary, but I do want to collect the dust. I can put a
2.5" port on the fence (well, I can do it once I figure out how to make the
fence; any suggestions on how to make one that attaches to the TS fence?)
but much of the dust goes down. The router, a Bosch 1617 has a 1" plastic
dust port that goes on the back. I tried it today and it is not too bad,
but not so great either. If I hook my DC up to the 1" port below the table
and the 2.5" port on the fence will that be adequate, or do I have to build
an enclosure for the router and put a 4" port on it (rather than using the
1" port)?

I am sure many of you have TS router tables, some even with the 1617; how
do you do it? Thanks.

Interestingly, I first hooked my 15a vacuum up to the 1" port, but found
the DC did a better job. I expected the vacuum to win that one.
