But I never realized how convenient this is until having to do some
router work without it, a few weeks ago.

I made a quick video of some rabbet cutting I did for the shelves I'm
making.
Using the table saw and its rip guide really makes the job quick and easy.
I don't need a separate router table anymore so it really frees up space
in the shop.
If you have a tight shop and need a router table, consider this set-up
if you have a decent sized table saw.Â* x

I bought one of the "cheap" cast iron bolt on leaf router mounts, and
its pretty darn handy. Sometimes for simple tasks like putting a round
over on the edge of awards plaques I'll just pinch the boards between
the saw fence and the router fence. I get the router fence just right,
and adjust the saw fence as needed. Its faster than using my CNC router
for that, because I don't have to make all the pieces perfect width
before I start. Just adjust on the fly, and all the round overs come
out looking the same.
