I've upgraded my 510 to the 520 pro-fence system and now my old 510 fence and tubes are taking up room and collecting dust. Anyone come up with something useful to do with them?

Hate to dump them, but I'm having a hard time coming up with something to keep them for - so any ideas are welcome.

Thanks!

I can't forecast what you might need them for but I guarantee that if you discard them, you will NEED them.

I made extension tables and a router table with my salvaged 510 rails. I later sold them to a visiting family member to stopped by on vacation. He spotted them and made an offer I just could not turn down - being a friend and family member. You know, sometimes you just have to sacrifice.

Dick,

If you truly determine you don't need them, you could sell them on eBay. I bought a complete set of tubes to include spacers, nuts, short connector tubes, to do the exact kinds of things that Dusty mentioned above.

That is so true!

Thanks for the suggestion - I've been using a makeshift router table and I like the idea of using the tubes for a dedicated one.

Another project !
