T-track
David Hempy
We can order ten 48" sticks of t-track for $71 + $22 S/H, here: http://www.orangealuminum.com/t-track-1.html Their pricing is funny, but it it is $7.12 for a 48" stick. This is half the price of any other vendor I've found.
That would give us five tracks, 12-inch on center, for the full length of the table. I have vague ideas of adding cross-wise track at the operator end, or maybe space them more closely in areas, to accommodate smaller pieces. e.g. a 3" diameter Elvis belt buckle. So I think I'll buy another two sticks (twelve total), and we'll figure out the details. That would run $107, shipped.
Sound good? Should we consider something else? We don't *need* t-tracks, but I think we'll be better off with it.
Speak up in the next 24 hours. Otherwise I'll order it Wed/Thurs.

Sweet!
A third sheet of mdf is probably a good idea. Even if we don't use it for the table surface, it could be used as the shelf under the table. Maybe we'll do a quick experiment and see if the router table is any stiffer with a third sheet and if not it becomes the shelf. Either way I don't think its a waste.
It also may become saw dust after we cut out our first parts using it!!
Also that reminds me, any ideas for some thing to cut on the router. I could draw something up or use an existing profile and program some g code? Is there an electronic version (with decent resolution) of the collexion logo?

I can't think of a better first piece than the collexion logo! If it doesn't interfere with the function, I think wer should lightly cut it into the full work surface!
I can't make it out this weekend, but I might take friday afternoon off to go shopping and drop supplies of at collexion .
Btw, james...there was a question on our thread on joes forumm about axes I can't answer. Can you tasker a peek?
