Here is a link to Damascus Annie's photos of what she has done with machines. Some have a hole for the belt and others not, just look at the photos.

Vintage, thanks for this link. don't you love that table with 5 heads mounted above bases? Wow!! Anyway, looks like an easy do. I found irons with a wooden flat small table top on them, and I can easily add another piece of wood on top to make it bigger, and have DH router holes for the head to sit on and the belt to travel through. Cool!! Thanks again!!
