Thanks Badmouth. Did you end up having to drill holes to get it to fit?

IIRC, I only had to drill one hole in the square tubing on the back. Had a look and it looks like the furthest left hole wasn't far enough left. It has an adjusting screw to dial in the height before tightening, so the hole doesn't need to be precise. I don't recall having to drill a hole in the round tubing up front. I didn't drill any holes in the saw. Since this has become a popular mod for the ridgid, Vega may have changed the design.
The switch bracket is held on with just one bolt, but it hasn't budged. The change in switch location was irritating for a while.
I'll add that I picked up a general international cast iron router wing and that turned out to be too much trouble to mount on the ridgid, so I mounted it to a rockler base. The cast iron wing was some crazy low price with free shipping to my house from the home depot. I thought it was a price mistake or wrong description, but the thing showed up! Although I got it cheap, I later made up for it by buying the base, Excalibur router plate, materials to build the fence, etc. All that to end up with an undersized router table. If I had it to do over again, I would just buy a wood router table top or build my own.

That guy drilled a hole in the saw for the front rail, but on the back drilled the rail like me. I don't remember drilling the round rail in the front, but may have. Pretty sure my front bracket is farther left than his. (Where there is already a bolt hole)

No work shop is complete until you have a few Japanese lake monsters lurking around. These guys were only about an inch long 5 years ago. They outgrew my 150 gallon aquarium. Now they live in a 300 gallon tub in my basement work shop. I had to take apart my staircase to get that tub into the basement.

Y'all making me sad, Sad that I don't have a workshop. One day I'll win the lottery though and have a workshop that I can actually work in. Until then I'll just make do with the garden :) At least the gazebo gives me cover from the lesser elements :)

Thanks for posting that info on the fence Badmouth. :cheers:
I've looked at that same router extension and appreciate your candor with your experience.
