Re: SS Router Table Question
I don't recall seeing a reference to it in the OPR manual, so my hunch is that those are made for MkV-mounted router tables. But on my own OPR, I found that I did need to add stiffeners under the table. Angle iron worked nicely for me.

Re: SS Router Table Question
Thanks Dennis. I think the OPR table is larger than the SS mounted one so looking at the size that makes sense. Angle iron is cheap and readily available so no problem.BuckeyeDennis wrote:I don't recall seeing a reference to it in the OPR manual, so my hunch is that those are made for MkV-mounted router tables.

Re: SS Router Table Question
The OPR table I have on now is pretty flat, none the less when I pull things apart to mount the Jessem fence I will also add an extra support by way of a square tube. I've had very good luck doing it this way.
I expect that you have checked yours and think it needs some help?
I'm not especially happy with those corner shims for leveling the table insert with the table so I might look into some hardware to fix that. For me that is a lot more of an issue then table flatness.
