Hey all!
I put together a great MDF router table - yeah it could be better but for my first machine I'm liking it! The table was flat when I started, but I notice it has a slight bow to it now. OK, maybe a major bow if you're measuring in thousandths! Yeah, major!
I'm thinking I can just program a toolpath that will go back and forth over the entire surface and machine it flat, but I'm looking for recommendations before I do that... I'm going to put another 1/4" layer of MDF on it as a sacrificial layer first anyway, so machining it flat won't hurt me any...
I'm also thinking of using the router to drill a hole in 4 known spots and I have bronze bushings that I will press into the holes and use 1/4" rod as indexing pins, so I can clamp pieces on the table and then move them a known distance, that way I can machine parts of "infinite" length just by indexing them forward on the pins... Comments?
