The two lines A-E-I and C-E-G share a common point E, so they must both lie in the same plane.rmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233272687408131584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223053823435077760.post-47280345540197240532023-02-13T15:44:00.053-08:002023-02-13T15:44:00.053-08:00But, the opposing screws for adjustment is great!But, the opposing screws for adjustment is great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223053823435077760.post-63670151979814180402023-02-13T15:42:36.530-08:002023-02-13T15:42:36.530-08:00I see a flaw in your method of adjustment: A to I ...I see a flaw in your method of adjustment: A to I and G to C could both be flat but in different planes.

I was still in flounder mode, and it took me a few tries using different approaches before I eventually got it figured out.<br /><br />Even with a perfect approach, though, I think you would still see some interaction between the adjustments because the supporting structure is never going to be 100% rigid. Every adjustment you make to the top is going to deform the supporting structure a (hopefully) smaller amount, and that will throw all the other adjustments off slightly.<br /><br />The support structure for my router table is a fairly substantial affair made from particle board, and I designed it with rigidity in mind for the reasons we're discussing here. The top is an inch-thick piece of MDF with plastic laminate (Formica) on the top surface. Given that setup, and the reasonably close initial state that's established by the carpenter's level, I can't imagine that you would need more than two or three iterations of the adjustment procedure to get the top as flat as it was going to get.rmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233272687408131584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223053823435077760.post-16955700313552648242011-03-01T21:12:58.514-08:002011-03-01T21:12:58.514-08:00Neat idea.
