New style adjustable T-fitting

Post by JoeSark »

I bought an adjustable T-fitting fr9m the Shopsmith website, and it's stamped steel rather than cast aluminum. I can't figure out how it is supposed to attach to the pipes. Has anyone used the new style?

Are you referring to the "T" fitting that attaches to the top of the adjustable leg and onto the connector tubes to use with the Floating Tables like the one shown below?

There have been two versions of the cast aluminum ones that I know of. I have both types. I haven't seen a steel one so not sure about them. Can you post pictures of it?

Sorry for delayed reply; long hours at work. I guess I needed to display my ignorance by posting the question before realizing the answer. I had to cut off the clear plasti-dip and it fits fine.
