Extension table not level

Post by Ron309753 »

I have been doing some aligning and maintenance on my greenie, but have encountered a problem. When the front edge of the extension table is even and level with the front edge of the main table, the rear of the extension table is about a 1/16" higher than the rear of the main table. I haven't found a way to adjust the extension table to bring it into the same plane as the main table. How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Ron

You just need to add shims to the front or subtract shims from the back.

Bob,

I thought that might be the problem, and it was. Thanks for your help. I still have some fine tuning to do, but it's very close now.

Sincerely,

Ron
