well incra router table is off to a start
assembled and mounted the fence on some 19mm ply per the instructions
cut the kitchen top down to a recommended 32"x24"
ripped some 19mm pinus crapiata down to 34mm as edging, that melamine is sharp stuff.
ordered some 5mm 5830 (or something like that - the high tensile stuff) ali plate 300mm x 250mm (shouldn't mix dimensions I know) which I'll pick up this week. $27.50 - worth a try at that price ? Just hope I can machine it and the kitchen top accurately.
anyway FWIW here's a couple of photos (got beaut new camera for birthday and can adjust to get 64kb photos without having to convert - kewl) including the thicknesser on recently fabricated cabinet (don't look too closely LOL).
the triton top just isn't designed for incra, pity.
more pics as time progresses, hopefully the melamine will work, its a textured surface but the fence seems to slide over ok
Had a word with the shop, 3/8" straight bit ordered (CMT) will exchange when its in, and the (not so) square.
cheers

Looking good Tony
As a side, I like the pieces of poly pipe for the different paper grades - very effective and greenie worthy
You could call them Poly Pipe Paper Packers

kewl, thanks Gazaly
Poly Pipe Paper Packers - has a nice round sound to it
Primarily used for pens on the lathe, saves hunting for the next grit.
Tear the paper to size and stuff them in ready.
Could be used for ROS papers, all sorts

good idea underused, thanks
not sure how I'm going rout the melamine without chipping it but I have some offcuts to practice on
in addition to the ali plate, I'm getting some 5mm acrylic 300x250mm to try if the ali turns out to be a PITA. Was going polycarbonate but apparently that can sag so they suggested acrylic.
cheers

Routing for the Mitre Track is easy provided you 'sneak-up' on the final cut, our track needs a 29mm x 13mm groove.
Polycarbonate & Acylic are both Thermo-plastics and can be remelted with heat, hence will sag under the weight of a router, in a shed on a hot day(s).
Phenolic is a Thermo-setting plastic that can't be re-melted and is quite rigid under hot conditions. We of course sell Phenolic plates but most decent plastics outlets sell phenolic sheet. Drilling phenolic an be challenging as it is very 'grabby' and needs to be well clamped when drilling in a drill press.
I hope that this helps?
Regards
