I was in bunnings and mitre 10 today looking for a table saw that will also take a router.

Both had plenty of table saws but only one, bunnings had one with appropriate cutouts and mounting holes on the table itself.

That was a ryobi and of course they sell other ryobi lines. I looked at the routers and none seemed to be able to fit the hole pattern in the table. Not even the ryobi!

I asked the staff and they told me that they used to have a ryobi router that would fit the table but that it had been discontinued!

So, I bought another router and will play with it over the weekend in order to decide if I think that I can make up a mount for it. If I can, I can go back for the table.

Unless anyone has any other suggestions for a source of such a combo?

Or even if anyone has an old ryobi router that would fit the saw table that i can buy and would like to swap it for a brand new router?
