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.

Step 1: 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.

Step 2: Sizing Up Things

Step 3: Backing Mount to Saw

Step 4: Router Mount

Step 5: Vertical Motion Tests

Doing motion tests.

Step 6: Problems - and Unused Designs - Photos I Don't Know What to Do With

Step 7: A Test That Is Turning Into a Project.

Step 8: Frankenstiens Cedar Heart Comes to Shape on Its Own!

Another thanks to Mike, An ancient #61 of a tribe called the Horned Frogs for the donation of the teeth of the beast.

Thanks Mike.

Step 9: Carving a Box on a Heart, Then Hollowing Out the Heart and Learning

Step 10: Router Mounted in Final Config - Dust /splatter Sheild in Place

Step 11: Mount Details -

Step 12: Action Shots With New Camera , in the Cut !

I got me a new camera.

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.
