| Registered User Forum Fanatic  Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Jerome, Idaho First Name: Larry Posts: 126   | Well after using my router table - I found it to work very well, mainly the vacuum system. No wood chips at all - well very few anyway. But major problem - the aluminum leaves black marks all over my wood. Back to the drawing board. I will post another picture of what I have changed - again...but its kind of fun making changes to something you built - if it works..

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Fourleftpaws B/4 you do some rework pickup some floor wax like a can of Johnsons floor wax give the Alum. a coat or two then give it a try... Alum. is full of Alum.dust most of the time they will give it a clean coat or anodize it to seal the Alum.but alot of the time they don't...  at one time it was just dirt and rocks.. so to speak and then they zap it with electricity to get the Alum. to come out  ========== Quote:

| Registered User Forum Fanatic Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Jerome, Idaho First Name: Larry Posts: 126 | My Router Table - not ugly! Thanks guys - tried the Johnson Wax - in fact I buffed the silly thing too. It lasts for a short while but then the black comes back on to the boards. One problem I think I have is the fact that I believe that the alum. is just a millisecond above the top of the router table? Well I needed something to do anyhow. Have a new top, cut and just waiting for the plate to come in and will install that. If I can get the hole cut out square, I should be in good shape. If not I guess I am only out the MDF board, that stuff is sure a pleasure to work with, easy to cut and only makes a zillion small dust particles in the air. Well here is the other version - I hope I am done with the table - and now to build something.

Added a air gate and works even better now. The one feature that I really like about the plunge router (my 690 plunge router is dedicated for this table) is the fact that when adjusting the nuts you have micro movement in the router bits.

| Registered User Forum Fanatic Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Jerome, Idaho First Name: Larry Posts: 126 | again - Zack - I sent you a message - also thanks on the table comment - but also as I stated, wife got me a Woodpecker router lift package and now I have to redo the table again. But this will be well worth the effort, if I do not screw it up... These are really nice... but dang the plate is bigger than my Rockler plate so now I have to redo it.
