Google. Overhead blade guard. Free plans out there. Make your
own.

This is a good article on most of the better guards:

I understand you not wanting a overhead, but I would
say this, the Biesemeyer overhead guard is superior to
anything else I looked at. I managed to find one for a
excellent price and DO NOT regret making the purchse.

I believe you could use the Biesemeyer and still use the
router table function.

The article also "likes" the Delta guard which is much less
money.
