Radial Arm Router ! (or How I Created a Beast)
Radial Arm Saw to Radial Arm Router adapter.
Hi there,
This is another piece coming from the Insane Asylum. I've had this idea for a long time and I honestly wondered why one never existed. So I built my own.
Allow me to introduce The Radial Arm Router (and part time saw).
I've been working on several different versions of this. And this is the most solid idea we could come up with.
Unhiding the Router Mount
To enable the mount for use.
Remove blade guard,
Remove blade (see it now , yeah, the ugly piece of angle steel)
Swing the motor around on X axis, till shaft faces you.
Hit the bevel release, and swing the motor down on Z.
Shazam! (as pictured now, unfinished) mount is visible and use position.

Pretty cool. Video recording isn't working. But i can take some stills. View is pretty impressive even with a ton of dust in the air.
