My hands are extra dry today but I’m satisfied – made lots of chips and sawdust… However, I did discover:
My jointer fence was loose – now I know why edges weren’t snugging up.
My Router fence is crooked so I made a new one, basic, out of laminated medium density particle board (2 sheets 3/4″ glued and screwed) – this is just a “wall” type of fence that clamps to the router table – not a split fence or anything fancy.
With the new fence, I found my router table has, gasp!, sag…
3 steps forward, 2 steps back 🙂

Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, cut it with an ax.

You had it easy, Mark.
Well into Saturday's deep ripping, I discovered that my DC was blowing, not sucking! Cabinet full of sawdust, DC tube full. determined to upgrade so I can tell the difference immediately next time.

"With the new fence, I found my router table has, gasp!, sag..." I call that "No good deed goes unpunished!"
I should take advantage of your plight to plug the Veritas steel table, but I won't. ROFL!
Better luck tomorrow, Mark.

Strange you should say that.. Last summer I made a new router table that mounts on my TS.. It WAS PERFECTALLY flat..
Well, it WAS flat.. I think more and more about Forestgirls comment!
