okay, just removed my router and all relevant parts and it weighed in at 38 lbs...i'll just round that off to 40 lbs...so now the plan is to use some 1/4" X 2" X 10" flat steel bars, approximately 26-28 pieces, hanging on the back side of the "Z" carriage, behind the router, in a steel carrier...this will give me a "brick" of steel 10" wide, 2" thick by 6 1/2"-7" high, that will weigh 40 lbs +/-...this will also allow me to add and remove bars as necessary, to either perfectly balance the router and make it virtually weightless or give the router a bit of downward force, whatever is better for any particular job...planning to set up some very small roller chain and chain sprockets to link the router assembly to the counter weight...this will allow the counter weight to remain level at all times...also considering some white delrin material to keep the counter weight from bouncing around...have begun ordering some items for this mod so i guess you could say this project is in the works...let the ball breaking begin!...LOL!...joe
