That's my plan - I use the Bosch GMF1600 router with the fixed base so a 4mm hole drilled through the table top will allow me to adjust the router bit height without breaking my back.... I'm also intending to build a dust housing for the router body. The whole set up once complete will be awesome!

Naturally we will need pics ;-)

Anyone buying the sliding table also needs to consider perfect alignment of the sliding table to the saw blade. Installed from the box - I had to make a small adjustment to ensure it was dead on - you can either use the 5 cut method (time consuming!) or measure the distance with a dial gauge - after ensuring the table miter slots are also aligned.

Did you have to adjust to get slots aligned? And was it easy?
Was your table adjustment using included fixings? Or did you have to mod the TS somehow?

On my current saw I tend to use the short mitre for small pieces and the table for longer, or for panels, so it's all used!
