I have been using for almost one year the following bench that incorporates a table saw (Dewalt DWE7492) a router and a jigsaw. I like how it turned out so I am posting some pictures of the design and the building process.
The idea was to have a table that will use the T-S fence and positioning mechanism for both the saw and the router, since the two tools would have to be close anyway (small shop - no room for two separate tables).

The design was made around a metal frame that would be fixed with screws under the table top (plywood) to help it stay flat. There would be an open side at the front for the table saw and two small gaps at the back to make room for the fence rail. I finally ended with the following layout for the frame.

The rest of the plan was just a bench made of wood plus a folding extension at the back.

Here are the frames for the bench and the extension made at the local smith from 20x40mm iron tubes (I cut the openings for the T-S and the fence at a later stage).

The two frames joined with hinges after priming and drilling holes for the screws that will hold the top.

The adjustable supports made of screws and threaded inserts.

The side of the bench. The small pieces hanging at the bottom are the stands for the retractable wheels, an idea copied from the linked video (of JVM - thank you). They work very well.

And here, all the pieces put together.

Drawers for the right side of the bench (3 pieces). 5/8" plywood for the sides and 1/4" for the bottom.

And some final pictures with the rest of the building process.

Here is a last picture with the back extension unfolded plus a fence extension for cutting long pieces. The arm holding the jig saw blade (at the back of the right side) is fixed with screws and can be removed but so far I only once had to put it out of the way of the other tools.
