Hey Andy, You may have already discovered that if you remove the plastic ends on the top of the side extension for cms, all the modules will fit. Thanks for the videos!

+Eric Jackson Hi Eric, not sure what you mean - can you expand on the thought please. Cheers Andy

Andy, the 2 sides of the cms extension that are 430mm in length, have a light grey plastic strip secured by 2 screws. If you remove these (the plastic strip) the opening will accommodate the cms modules.

Eric Jackson Hi Eric, just tried it, wow what a great tip. So I now have the router module in one and the table saw module in the other. That could be a game changer. Thank you. Andy

@@TheWoodgrafter Wait is this true? I can get the vb-cms cs50 and drop a module in it? What downside is there to removing the plastic pieces

[@TheWoodgrafter]

@@matteason989 Yes, it works, take off the two plastic strips as per Eric's comment. And the modules fit like a dream. Obviously, you don't have the power switch on the VB, but that is not a hard fix. I tried it with the table saw in one and the router in the other, and yep works pretty well. The only downside I had was that the table saw module always protrudes above the surface, so have to drop the module out any way to use the fence on the router - so didn't gain much in the end. I haven't really played around too much with the setup - but it has potential.
