On my Ridgid TS2424 table saw with the webbed cast iron extensions, I chose not
to replace the left hand extension but instead to just add the router table
extension to the outside aspect of the existing wing. Without wandering
downstairs and crawling under the saw to see how I did it, I just drilled some
holes into the outside of the wing and bolted the router table extension to it.

There's no sag to it at all. I mounted a PC 7518 3.25 hp router in it. BTW,
don't be thrown off by all the spring clamps on the router fence. They're there
only because I needed a place to have them that was handy. They're not
necessary for the router or its table.
