I have a DeWalt RAS (2nd hand off eBay) which I was persuaded to buy by Dodge after spending a week in his workshop.
Although I only use it for cross cutting, there is evidently an attachment you can get for mounting a router onto the arm (again Dodge).
Having kept an eye on eBay for one (which clamps onto the motor housing of the saw) and never seeing one for sale, I decided to make my own.
Pretty self explanatory - the jig fits to the saw spindle (16mm) and is further fixed to the blade guard mounting screw at the top.
Again straightforward, a perspex / acrylic base is added to the router which then slides into the base and is secured with 2 screws.
The view of the cutter isn't brilliant but there again it isn't normally - but you can see to line up the workpiece underneath.
I'll probably use it to cut housings in small boxes but Dodge used his to cut ornamental grooves in some of his furniture.
Hope its of use to someone.
