MFT TS55 table saw / OF1400 router table

[emlclcy]

I've built my own version of a MFT with a removable top so i can drop in a table saw or router. just wondering if anyone else has done this so i dont re-invent the wheel.
i looked at the partslist for the CMS TS55 jig and there are a pair of blocks which hold the saw in place, this is a parts breakdown of the cms jighttps://www.sparepartsworld.co.uk/product/SPARE_570281
My worktop is 4ft x 2ft so i was thinking of making an A3 size aluminium plate, one for the TS and one for the OF, so it can use the same worktop insert. The TS will come first as i need a table saw for a project i'm working on.

Its tempting to see if i can buy the majority of spares from the link above to basically make a CMS saw but with my own ali insert

So any ideas welcome!

cheers

I made three MFT type tables.  One is an outfeed table with occasional use as my pocket-hole drilling station.  My table saw accessories hang on the panel on the side.  Storage underneath. 

The other two are basically side by side on wheels to use as an assembly table, with storage underneath.  I can see the advantage of a removable top.  You could have tops for a router table, or a chop saw table.  But then storing the tops becomes an issue. 

My basement is 1,600 square feet and I have used most of it for my shop and framing shop.  About 100 square feet is a workout area.

storing the tops - i just had a quick measure and the support plate for the saw/router could be made small enough to fit under the bottom of the systainer plastic insert, one for each tool in its respective systainer, when disassembled, the plate would be max 1/4" thick with various holes and slots for the tools and be approx 250mm x 380mm.
thanks for triggering that thought Packard!
