I am thinking of converting one of the sides of my Tablesaw into a
router table. 

Make an alternate suggestion.

A couple of saw horses and a piece of 3/4" MDF with a fixed router base attached has been used as a router table by a lot of cabinet shops for a long time.

Pull it out and set it up when you need it, fold it up and stack it agaonst the wall when you are finished.
