Wooden Extension Table
The wood extension table sits flush against the saw table and along the inside of the fence rails.
The extension table is not bolted to the saw table, it is bolted only to the rails.
The extension table and saw table must be aligned properly so the fence will slide smoothly
from one to the other.
1. Place the extension table between the rails and
up against the saw table, leaving the extension
table raised just slightly above the saw table.
2. Clamp the extension table to the front and back
rails. Clamping pressure should be enough to
secure the table yet allow minor adjustments.
3. Use a hammer and block of wood (or a rubber
mallet) to tap the extension table up flush
against the cast iron saw table.
4. Then tap down the extension table at various
points along its edge where it meets the saw
table, until it is level with the saw table.
5. As one part of the edge becomes level with the
table, tighten the clamp on that side. Then move
to the other side and repeat, until the full length
of the edge is level with the saw table.
6. Lay a straight edge across both extension table
and saw table to ensure proper leveling.
7. Apply slightly more clamping pressure to the
clamps to ensure that the wood extension does
not move during the drilling and fastening
process. Recheck for level.
8. When extension table is properly aligned, holes
need to be drilled into the wood table using the
holes in the rails as your guide.
9. Drill 1/4" holes into the front edge of the table
using the holes in the front rail as a guide.
10. Drill 1/4" holes into the back edge of the table
using the holes in the back rail as a guide.
