Thread: Trying to align Maxi Extension Table's measuring scales

OK, never mind, I got that one sorted out. Turned out the outer track was set too low, so the sliding table wasn't level, so the 500 mm mark on the scale wasn't right below the standard fence. Thought it was because the ground on which the table was standing, outside in the driveway, wasn't quite level, so I shimmed up the one outer leg with a couple of pieces of scrap and voilà, it was as close as I think I can hope to get it with all the moveable parts that make up a workcentre and its extension table! Set up the measurement I wanted and put the first large piece of shutter ply on the table to make the cut. About halfway into the cut I realised the board was moving with difficulty and the workcentre was moving forward under it, and, like always when that happens I realised I'd forgotten to fold up that wonderful set of wheels! Flipped them up, kicked out the shims and the table was much steadier and more level than before!

Sorry for having wasted anyone's time, but I'm afraid that kind of thing happens a lot with me, so if that'll be a problem for you maybe you should just scroll past when you see my name...
