![]() Very close to flush fit afterward : ( be careful not to over snug the screws or it will draw up the sides and pop them up a hair. I'll post pick of exactly what and where I sanded later this evening.įor now though here is how low the plate sat before the washers were added : So even though all that sounds like a pain in the rump it was extremely easy to do, and doing it turns this table into a REALLY nice table for $99.00 ! ( what it shapes it up to be is basically the equivalent to a $250- $300 router table. Glides smooth all over and the fences are near perfect. So I broke out the razor knife and shaved them down. I three places on the edges of the table it go hung up on a couple tiny high spots on the rubber edging surrounding the edge of the table. Just running it all over checking for high spots. So then I ran a nice true and flat piece of wood across the entire table. Its just the machinist in me that looks for minute stuff that normal folks wouldn't worry about with wood but I like true cuts, and perfect 90's ya know ! But seriously though that 1/64th of an inch would probably translate to 1/4" worth of taper from end to end over a 2.5 - 3 foot board. I think I could make a fence with no problems out of hard wood and use the stock knobs, washers, and carriage bolts IF it presents its self to be a problem in the future. VIOLA ! perfectly straight and a nice smooth glide across like it is supposed to be ( HEAR THAT RYOBI ? IT SUPPOSED TO GLIDE ACROSS EVENLY JERKS !! ) This time I sanded down all the high points on the fence where the sub fence on the out feed side attaches and checked it with my straight edge again for square, then put it back together and ran my straight edge form right to left again. ![]() Sooo I took the fence back off and apart again. Wouldn't you know it the out feed sub-fence stuck out just enough to stop the straight edge from passing by 1/64th of an inch. Then I ran my straight edge ( used it here and there checking every so often while I block sanded the bottom of the fence to BTW ) across the sub fences from right to left light the work piece would travel to check for taper, and or wavy spots. Put it back together and now it was a nice perpendicular 90 degrees all across. So I took the fence apart and lightly blocked sanded the high spots. Its got the same GHETTO BUTT injection molded plastic fence and single knob shim though. At 1st I was like "FRUCK ! ANOTHER TURD !" Then I thought abut it for a minute and I broke out the pop rivet box and use some 1/8th inch rivet washers under the insert and VIOLA flush ! The insert plate the router mounts to is roughly 1/8th inch LOWER then the laminate. Now for any one looking to buy a cheap table and make it work like an expensive table here ya go. Ryobi intermediate table MFG Model # : A25RT02 : Exchanged it even Steven for this one which did not come with a router : That combo table/router I bought turned into a turd real quick !
