I just did exactly that. Bought a PC 7518 3 1/4HP router and a Master Lift to
go with it. I had previously installed a Bench Dog extension to the left cast
iron wing of my table saw (rather than remove the wing, as suggested by the
manufacturer). This is neater than sliced bread.


Now, there will be a slight problem when you get all of this
together. The temptation is to set this all up and leave it
as a dedicated router table (An Ultimate Router Table
actually) and you will like it. The trouble comes in when
you go to free hand (out of the table) rout something.
You'll really not want to be disassembling the An Ultimate
Router Table set up and you'll be pining for another 3 1/4"
horsie variable speed Porter-Capable for above the table
work.


Sigh There is some truth to this. In the meanwhile I'm using a smaller PC
router that has both a fixed and plunge base. I have higher priorities right
now.... I want a Trojan miter saw stand for my 12" Dewalt CMS so I can move it
around without tripping over my nuts.
