I've been reading a lot of stuff on Matthias Wandel's site recently, to get ideas for Protospace's woodshop, and just the other day saw his two wooden tablesaws, and his dad's wooden tablesaw. So I was a bit surprised to see one on here today.

I like the idea of circular modules for the saw and router. Do you just swap in whichever one you want to use?

At Protospace we're considering building a router lift into the other side of our tablesaw's table (on the other side of the fence from the saw) so they can share the fence. Maybe we should consider making it modular as well (on the extension side; the saw itself is a full tablesaw and can't be modularized).

Hi, thanks for your comment. That's right, i can't use 2 modules simultaneously. I have to switch them.

What would be the advantage of this system in your situation, if you just need a router near the saw blade. I'm not sure if i anderstand what you meant. Sure you can use the fence of the saw blade, but why the circular modules ? 

Can you post the link to his build and a link to your project as well ?

[EDIT] 

I saw the video of Matthias Wandel about table saws on Youtube.

The thing is, that is design implies too much fabrication and money to me. 'caus you need to modify the circularsaw, you need to buy 2 of them. But i use mine most of the time as a track saw.

The adventage of his design i see, is the depth cut.

Ours isn't online yet. So far it's just in-person conversations that go something like "It sure would be nice to have a router lift on the extension side of the tablesaw." "Yep." I think it'll probably be one of these integrated into the right side (black part) of this tablesaw: http://wiki.protospace.ca/Table_Saw_(Craftex)

I see, i really like the design from Jay Bates : http://jayscustomcreations.com/2014/04/french-cleat-router-table/
