Which is how the Sears Router-Crafter operates.
BTW, no need for bandsaw.

I don't think it is even sold any more, at least new, maybe used on
eBay.

If you can find one with all the pieces in good working order. Sears dumped
it a while back. Trend in the UK doesn't have it anymore. The Canwood is
gone. Entry level for such a device now appears to be a Legacy Ornamental
Mill for 1500 bucks and up. I understand that Router Magic
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0762101857/ref=cm_rdp_product#noop has a
chapter detailing how to make such a thing from bicycle parts. I've seen a
site with plans for one but can't find it again.
