SawStop Router Table Wing Installation – Double Feature

After almost three years, I finally installed a cast iron General router table wing on my SawStop table saw. It was not an exact fit and I had to make some serious modifications.  SawStop now makes a counter table wing and router lift that bolts right in, but they didn’t when I bought both the saw and wing. That said, the do-it-yourself option with the General or similar wing and lift is less than 1/2 the cost of the SawStop option.

I documented the whole overbuilt process in a 2-part YouTube Video series and in part 1 I went over the steps I took getting the wing installed and mounted correctly and the installation of the router lift, plus a few tips. For the second of two videos I detailed the fence installation, the vacuum box and dust collection, and the steps I took in making an over-built cherry and walnut “cutting board” tail piece.
