Pro-Fence Routing System

I recently upgraded my 500 to a 520. I do not have a router system and intend, shortly, to acquire one. As I have limited space, I am contemplating the Pro-Fence Routing System. It appears storable on the Table Storage System I recently purchased making it less of a problem when not in use. It is, however, fairly expensive, so I do not wish to purchase without some input from others. Anyone out there in ShopSmithLand who has experience with this system, I would appreciate comment. Upfront, I know that I could probably build something, but I do not wish to do so, so one way or another I will end up purchasing a router table.

I don't have the pro fence system but I bought a 520 a couple of months ago that had a saw train system and the router table with it. This last weekend I finally had time to put it to use. I am building the 5 the baby cradle for my number 6 daughter and her first born. I am amazed at how will this system works and how accurate it is. Every cradle has improved over the last but with this system I can already see an improvement. In fact the difference in the 520 and the 510 regular fence system alone is great. I now use my 510 as a lathe and to run my SPT's mainly. As soon as I get a little farther along I will post some pictures of the project. I did build a router table for my 510 that did work well using a set of extra 510 rails I got from someone that did an upgrade and it also work well not nothing compared to the saw train that they sell for the 520.
Good luck with your project.

I have figured out where I will make my electrical drop using conduit and romex if possible to create a new plug behind the new Tv location. I also would plan to run my A/V cables through the wall as well and down to my receiver and sound system. My question is]Commercial Glass washers[/URL]|Ice Machines

I do knot understand your question, raj84! As Alex Trebek always says; say it in the form of a question.

Just a note about something you said: You should NEVER put Romex type cable INSIDE conduit. Romex cable is for use inside walls and ceilings rendering conduit unnecessary. The wire that you feed into conduit should be individual strands, each in it's own insulation, also known asthhn. Romex cable fed inside of conduit, knot only is against building codes everywhere, but also builds up heat that can cause a fire (thus the reason it is knot code). I hope this has helped.
