Is the top solid? if so, what is it made of and how flat? or is it a torsion box?

 

[Jon]

The adjustment lock is 5/8 steel pins( tractor pins )

 

[Jon]

The box is a torsion box I Put 1/2 inch MDF on the bottom

 

[Jon]

I forgot to tell you at its lowest level it is 3/16 lower than my table saw so I can use it as a run off table also.

Jon, that is a great build and I can imagine how handy it will be in the future. Is this an original design of your own? Either way, well done!

Jon.....how did you attach the bottom and side supports that the legs sit in? No racking issues? Thanks....looks sharp!

on the side boards I screwed it in from the bottom and the leg cans have Kreg screws inside holding it all together. it slides really good.

That is very nice! I like the fact it doubles as an out feed table.

thanks everyone for your kind words. I need to find the time to put Poly on it.

Do you guys think Poly will be the best to protect it? 3 coats ?
