Assembled table Most parts were assembled on a leveling table using two part epoxy. Screws tend to pull parts out of alignment and so I epoxied things while they were being held true in a jig. I then added some screws here and there after the epoxy had hardened overnight. The Y axis uprights were trued to the Z axis using a dial indicator. I am about .5mm out from one end of the table to the far end, not bad for wood. After I add the grooved oak clamp down top, the table surface height will come up another .75 inches. After the machine is able to run under computer power, I can level the top surface using router bits. |

I actually chucked up a few router bits and tested the table on some wood pieces by pulling the slides around manually. It's quite smooth feeling and the Rotozip tool seemed to have a bunch of power. |

Here's the finished router. I cut several oak pieces to test it out and it works great so far. I need to change the top bolt down surface to a slotted type. It's a pain to thread studs down into the pre drilled holes, but it's working fine for now. |
