EDIT:
does anyone think it'd be possible to cut the rails short and have them re-attach as an extention RAIL/TABLE when needed?
say make a "floating tenon" to fit inside the extruded rails for a couple inches on each side,, and then bolt on or something.... would this be possible and still maintain accuracy/strength? i'd support the left side with more legs or a full wood side with casters. to possibly act as an independant router-table when detached?
i could definitely pick it up if this scenario could work out well!.

so i came across this for sale today in my area.
i think i'm just drooling over getting a new tool mostly.
for the price ($750) its real nice,what with the mobile base and tenon jig and sliding table etc. year+ old.
owners selling as its just too big for his shop.
problem is i'm thinking the same thing about mine!!! im in a 10x20'ish garage. 2-cars lengthwise....
i do rip plywood occasionally,not weekly.i'd say monthly but i've made out fairly well with a clamped on guide and circ.saw...i mean i cant really justify needing 52" of rip capacity, i just dont..still, it looks **** nice though LOL
guess i'm more in need of some talking Out of this..
the motors not huge at 1-3/4 (probably rated @ max ever achieved-as usual too) now if it were 3-5HP it'd be hard to pass up.
been having trouble with my bt3100 for a while with alignment,height mechanism, etc. maybe looking for an easy (though pricey) solution rather than getting my ass in gear and learning to fix these addressable problems..
well. here's a few pics for ya's to oggle over. let me know your thoughts!
