First, I don't own a TS3650 so I am talking from memory and a couple of web
sites I have looked at. You might have some reason for concern. I believe
the saw has cast iron wings but they have slots running parallel to the
table edge. Rigid implies the purpose for the slots is to allow clamping of
jigs and featherboards. I suspect they saved weight and material cost too.
Nevertheless, I would think the wings are plenty strong.

Memory and pictures suggest the fence rails are aluminum. While the front
rail looks pretty beefy, there might be concern regarding the back rail. It
might need some help with addition of a piece of heavier extrusion
(angle-iron?) that would have to be incorporated into the entire length of
the rail. You might also be able to add angled supports from the saw base
up to the ends of the rails. I have seen pictures of this on other saws and
it works particulary well with a mobile base. I'm thinking out loud here
and you'll have to make the judgement.

Your post caught my eye because I have gathered parts; and am getting ready
to make this mod to my table saw too.

I am considering mounting a router table to the right wing of my TS3650.
Basically just a piece of framed melamine, bolted to the wing and to the
rails. This would allow me to use the TS fence for the router but I am
concerned about the stress this might cause on the rails and wing? Any
thoughts?
