Re: router table tight fit

Post by benush26 »

Hey Dusty.

My post was about vertical not horizontal space.

Since I use an aftermarket table that does not use the rail assemblies and may also be a different thickness than the SS version, plus my Triton router might be taller than SS planned for, it might be that I have to raise mine vertically to get clearance from the way tubes in a fashion the SS table does not. I did cut my router table with a tight enough fit so that I had to notch out areas on one end to accommodate the protruding pieces on the side of the main table.

Sorry if I caused a huge confusion here.

Be well,
Ben

Remounting extension table seems to help a bit. I believe this can make it work, but the tolerances are tight, but manageable.

Thanks everyone for the assistance.

What is the purpose in those square hubs anyway?

My guess is that they are created early in the machining process for use as a reference during later machining processes.
