I agree,I think possible bearing wear would be of outmost concern.

I am not keen on burrs being formed on the shafts.

Can’t understand why the router manufacturers don’t make the shafts say 1/2” longer in order to avoid the depth problem.

The other solution is to make the table top 1/4” thick but this translates to other problems

I don’t like shaft extensions – don’t trust them.

So, there is no win win solution, only compromise

MLCS have an offer on extenders at the moment, with the included spanners, I am tempted.
