So I had always planned on dropping my DW744 in a rousseau table and then adding a router table extension. I got to crunching the numbers and really couldn't justify the cost. I was looking at my table saw the other day and got to tinkering with it and this is what I came up with. It works like a champ. I use the stock fence and attach a wooden block to the back of the factory fence for edge profiling. All together I have less than $5 into it.

what about legs on it to support it so that it doesnt tip when putting pressure on it. where its so far to the side
The table that it's sitting on I use as an outfeed table. I have a bunch of wooden benches that I use to reach 8 foot ceilings and the saw sits on two of them and lines up with the outfeed table. I have a couple bolts with wing nuts that secure the saw to the benches and that makes it like a rock so it doesn't tip. If i was using it like it sits in the picture it's pretty stable as is but I would probably have to add a folding leg on the end for support. I almost always have it set on the benches. Good catch though, I might have to add a leg.
DW744 + Router table
I have been pondering this type of set-up for quite a while. I have a little bit more elaborate plans, but essentially the same setup. The more I dove into attachments like the Rousseau 2700XL Saw Stand has, the more I crepted up in price until I found the Daddy of them all by Incra -

Still researching if it would fit. But I do not think it is compact enough to fit in the truck and the easability to break it down is in question. But wow!! what an accessory.
