Maybe the idea of having a short cast iron extension table is to mount a
router on it? Do you suppose they come pre-cut/drilled?

Not cast iron ones, at least not that I've ever seen or heard of.
However, I have drilled/jig sawed out a heavy cast iron table saw
extension before for use with a router. Along with using a heavy
flexible cut off wheel in a drill to grind away part of the extension
ribs underneath, the whole process took a little over an hour. Not
difficult, just a little tedious.

Is an hour of your time and $1 for a cutoff sanding wheel worth your
effort if you have a cast iron table saw extension?


Thanks for the lesson!
