Oh no, my wife has broken into the forum...<smile>
I'm looking to make one large table like I saw on a page somewhere. The pic showed two extra floating tables if I recall. It might have been Doug Reid. I'm wondering if the old table brackets can be used in conjunction with the extruded rails on the 520 or if I should purchase extruded rails. But I just realized before the huge price increase I should purchased a 520 kit that uses the magnet rails to replace the non-magnet rails which means I might only need a couple of extruded rails. I won't know until I inventory everything.

The great news is my workshop was emptied of all the furniture for our second floor renovation. I will totally empty the garage 14' x 28' ceiling under the master bedroom along with a 15' x 18' addition with a peaked cathedral ceiling that I don't have to worry about hitting anything over head.

I want to seal the garage floor with a substance I understand completely seals the cement. My garage floor was poured in 1960 and has no moisture barrier. My wife- who is not permitted in my shop <smile> says she wants to see the floor sealed and looking nice along with any pre-made cabinets I want- she is too nice to me. I think I have one of anything ever made for the modern day Shopsmiths except the Crafter's Station, the Shopsmith 2000, or Radial Arm saw.

I was referring to 4 POSTS, not 4 'rails'.;)

The tables themselves are identical. (early 510 tables excepted)

The 510 rails result in a tube location relative to the table top that I believe is different from 520 extrusions.

I bought 2 stainless steel pipe rails 6 feet long. Now when I cut full plywood sheets, I use the short Shopsmith rails on one end with the long ones on the other end so my table can extend beyond the 8' sheet of plywood.
