I have two questions:

What's the source & cost of the UHMW being used as a fence on "The Router Workshop" show?

I'm considering using the Router Table to flatten an oak panel which is too large for my thickness planer.

Any suggestions/tips?

Thanks,

Wally

Boricua, Thanks for oak-park URL

Wally,

Check out oak-park.com for a list of their router table accessories. If you're in the USA, click here! If you're in Canada, click here! You will find the table fence you want listed on there web site. Well, I got your first question answered. Can anyone else help him on the second question? Mike? (a.k.a. aniceone2hold)

=========================================

The www.oak-park.com site is very useful ... THANKS

I found a company here in Dallas that has all kinds & sizes of plastics.

Example:
2" x 12" x 24" UHMW for $54.00 (That would produce a dozen 2" x 24" fences.)

Their URL = http://www.dfwplastics.com 1-800-782-1836

Thanks Mike for the photo

Wally, I found the answer to your problem a couple months ago. Its a home built set up for surfacing flat panels. Here is a photo of it. Gee, it even uses a Bosch 1617, my favorite! Now if I can just remember where I found it...
Both Woodcraft and Rockler also carry a limited selection of UHMW. Plan on using your biggest wallet when you go looking.

===========================================

I wonder why I couldn't install a flat-bottom bit and raise it 1/16" on the router table and run the panel back & forth over it?
