This is liable to be of interest to a rather limited market but just in case it spurs a useful idea somewhere................
Fact 1)... Due to limited workshop space my router table has always sat on top of my saw/planer/thicknesser, which is a real pain when I want to saw or plane something.
Fact 2)... Mr Lidl is offering a block and tackle thingy on special this week, intended to lift bikes for off-ground storage.
Fact 3)... Yep, I bought one and installed it above the router table yesturday and 'hung' the router, about an inch above the saw, and left it overnight as a test. The arrangement passed with flying colours so from now on I will use the tackle to lift the router clear of the table before wheeling the saw out from under but I don't think I fancy the idea of leaving it suspended permanently
A result, I think
All the best from the seaside
