New Work Centre.
I was getting sick of changing my combo from thickneser to plane 4-5-6 times per day and i knew the T13s @ H & F was coming on special so i comited to one. Another thing i was getting sick of was the bow in my Kreg router table and the bigger bow in the Kreg table insert so i also comited to buying a Jessem router lift. So now i needed somewhere for the T13 to live and some way of fixing the bow in the router table and decided to make a new bench with plenty of height so i wasn't having to bend over all the time, and could move it around if needed.
I took extra care in making sure the frame was square and well braced and there is support directly under the router top so there should be no sag. I then screwed the router top to the underlying frame work so it is straight and true. It's amazing what a difference a straight router table makes
I am probably 80% happy with the T13, drawbacks are it still chips out fiddle back and other gnarly grains even taking the minimum thickness off and the in feed and out feed tables are a pain to adjust so i have made a base that will sit in place permanently, just have to re position or swap out the height measure tape. Other than those two issues its a good machine and i can stand beside it and feed and tail out without having to bend over.
