Recently I purhased a Festool mitre saw and vacuum. From that i designed a combination router table and mitre saw stand. The design was done with Visio. The project was built using Baltic birch plywood for both the frame and the external pieces.
The router design includes:
- 4″ vacuum port from box below router
- vacuum port from fence that is attached to the 4″ port
- magnetic door to enclose box
- gromet on door to provide fresh air to vacuum
- external plug / switch to control router
- imbedded JessEm router table
- fence mounted on T-slot tracks
Miter saw design includes:
- table on T-slot tracks to allow for adjustment
- table can be raised to the same level as the router table to provide work surface
- saw attached using imbedded 1/4″ bolts – removable to provide flat work surface
- vacuum garage below the saw
- table and fence of saw matches remainder of table. Includes fence of router table.
In the end, i know this is not exactly what you are looking for as it also includes an integrated router table. However, you may find it interesting.
Thanks
David

Photo shows miter saw to right side of table. Festool saw with matching vacuum in its "garage". Saw sits on movable shelf so it can be adjusted up to provide a flat table for router. Saw is attached to table with bolt down hardware that can be removed. Fence of saw lines up with router fence. Also, table for saw is level with bench.

David,
I love your plan, it is exactly what I want. I too just purchased a Festool Miter saw.
What is VISO and where can I get a copy of the plans?

Wow, what a great idea, one table for multiple purposes. Would it be possible that I can get the visio file. I too use visio to design all of my projects.
Thanks!
