I have a Jet ProShop with a 50 inch cut. I have the stock extension table which is 3/4 mdf with laminate on each side, a hardwood runner on each side to attach to the fence, and one cross brace at each end and one cross brace in the middle. I am going add a router plate to the end of the extension table.
The router plate is 1/4 inch thick aluminum. So here are my questions...
- What is the best way to reinforce the extension table?
- Should I just add a few more cross braces made of 3/4 plywood?
- Should I glue another panel of mdf underneath to make it 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 thick?
- Currently it has legs at the end of the extension table. Do I need to add another set in the middle of the extension table? Eventually I will add some cabinetry underneath the table, but for now will I need the extra legs?
Thanks!
