Anyone know of a cabinet shop with an industrial sized planer and sander available for hire? I need to shave a few more pounds off my workbench top. It bowed on me because I clamped it up wrong...DUH!

call Diversified & asked who they've sold one too. Or call J & G down in Sanford and ask the same question. BTW don't say I told you to call. | |

if you can make it down to Fayetteville area you can use Mine and Pete's 38in Wood master drum sander. Let us know if we can help.

How much do you need to take off the bench top?
I am in Salisbury Anna-Catherine, much closer than Fayetville area. I have a 38" wide Woodmaster drum sander also.
Pending how much you need to take off------you may need a wide planer first. The sander works in thousandths--the planer works in 16ths or more.

We have a 20in planer, too, all told, about 25 combined horses  of stock removal machinery... too bad nothing to put it back with when we screw up!

Give Toolferone a buzz. His store (Woodcraft) did a couple of workshops on building work benches. He will know who/how to get it done. | |

Guys, I will let you all know what I decide to do. I am too chicken to try the router...although I DID try it on another piece just to see how badly I could screw it up! LOL. I screwed it up.
Thanks Dave for moving the post. I forgot where I was again! LOL.
For this benchtop, I don't think anywhere is too far. LOL. Thhis is my first time making one so I want to fix it correctly. Again, I will let you all know what I want to do. Thanks so much for all your offers of help.

You're right, I was looking at the benchtop this evening and realized it does need to be planed first. It's got some really rough spots and I need about a 1/4 in removed, I think. | |

Anna,
I have a #8 Stanley jointer plane you are welcome to use (I can supervise  ). It would be a lot of work to take it down 1/4" but you get a workout for free and "Popeye" arms to boot. If you don't have a bunch of wild grain have the grain oriented in the same direction on your top it should take care of it with out a lot of problems.
If you really need to remove 1/4" probably need a wide planer or rip it into pieces which will fit into your planer and reattach after you have it where you want it. | |
