Ridgid R4513 - Contractors Table Saw, Router Table Insert & Fence

This is an excellent idea. I’ve seen several types of router table inserts for table saws, but never seen one done this way. I love how it slides into one rail the sets on top of the other. Thank you for the video.

Thanks! You inspired the same thing (well, except mine is a really cheap all wood version) for my R4510 contractor table saw -- "same thing but different" my Gramps used to say.

Fantastic idea. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Off to make one for my ridgid table saw.

I just bought the 4514, it's similar but has less orange skirting. I love what you've done to increase the usability.

Great way to utilize that part of the saw! I have the exact same saw and now I think I'll give it a go. I might install some drop down legs to support the router table but I'm not sure yet. Now I can free up space on my portable tool table! Thanks for the idea and video!

Have this same saw. Did a router insert..different design then yours. Attached an older model incra router fence to ridgid fence. Works awesome. Like your K.I.S.S designed fence. One suggestion....assuming you do 95% of your cutting with fence to right of the blade, flip your router fence to the other side of the table fence. Now you can keep it mounted most of the time, still maintain onboard measuring, and work off the end(rt side) of the table (better cutting posture instead of leaning across the whole table). Great build. Thanks for sharing.

Really cool set up, I am going to do similar with the fence spun 180 degrees since you will end of feeding the material from the back of the saw to the front. Thank you for the inspiration

Like your idea have the same saw as yours and was thinking about building a separate router table, but now watching your video guess I'll be building one like your. Thanks for the video and the idea.

Got inspired by your build. I was hesitant because I didn't know how to attach the extension and bolt it on to the cast iron table without having a separate frame. I like your solution the best by press fitting the extension in the rail groove. I plan to do this on my Ridgid hybrid R4512. I like your fence too but I plan to use my 4" hose from my table saw and port through the bottom. Thanks!

This has give me inspiration for my future saw but I'm getting the cabinet hybrid by rigid instead. I Absolutely love the idea also great video on instructing how to make the router attachment too.

I have a brand new Skilsaw worm drive job site saw very similar to your saw and the Dewalt. I am considering doing an update just like you did for my saw. My saw fence is rack and pinion which I love, spot on accurate and it will expand to 30.6" to the right. So I have plenty of room for an insert. Nice job

Beautiful job! Inserts of the brand you have are crazy expensive though - I had to make my own. Thanks for the post!

What?! We don't get to see it in action!!?? Teaser! :) Great job man! Totally going to replicate.

That little Mishap with the router looks like a good spot for your thumb to split the fence lol good job

Wow, this is awesome! I will do the same thing on mine!

So cool, appreciate you shared this!!

The thing I like about that saw is the fence. One of the best in the portable saw line.

Made in Canada 🍁 router insert!!! Right on!!!

Thanks for sharing your design. I was inspired to make a similar style using12mm baltic birch project cutoffs. 12 mm fit into the fence guide extensions slots and from there i stacked to meet the table height. A laminate finish surface produced a perfect match to the saw table height. It locks in with one fixed tongue and the other end is a slotted sliding tongue wing nutted to secure into the fence guide extensions. The fence is a torsion box design the same height and width as the saw fence and secured to it with Rockler fence clamps a taller6” face attac

Excellent job!
