    Hi I am new here but have been making home made tools for a long time if anyone is still thinking of using an old RAS I did that one once it was a great tool I could do alot of different things with it. Let me back up a bit I mounted a router to it and built a clamp on fence for straight lines dado's etc for free hand I just used a larger board so as not to get hands to close to the bit , you don't need rollers or any thing like that just use a piece of hdp (high density plastic) screwed down to a piece of plywood counter sink the screws and mount the board on the brace that the saw would have had a wooden table attached to it this works great as the hdp is very slick. you can then use the angle tilt to angle the router so a dado is at an angle to the piece you are working on great for custom shelves with angled sides etc. great tool .
