router/table compatibility

[Alan-J]

Hi everyone this is my first post.
I'm looking to buy a new router table, I have a trend t11 and I also have a festoon Festool CMS table that I use as a saw, now my question is can I fit my trend router to the CMS table, if I bought the festoon router plate, I appreciate that I would have to use the trend fine adjuster from under the table, and not the festool adjuster that on top of the table. Any takers on this one Thanks Alan-J

I think the Festool cms will only take Festool routers?

How's your German?

Here's how a Festool OF1400 Router mounts onto the Festool router plate/router table. The red arrows show the three mounting clamps, the height adjuster (top left) acts as a fourth clamp, so if you're not using the height adjuster you're missing that clamp point.

Here's a close up of one of the mounting clamps, note the notch in the raised lip around the router's sole which allows the mounting clamp to seat properly.

Nothing's impossible, but I think it would be quite a faff to mount a Trend router

Had this through today: http://www.rutlands.co.uk/pp+hot-deals+ ... =RTX2000K1 also have a look at their router lifts, seem very reasonable to me.
