Cast Iron Table Saw Router Extension Wing 27" in a 29" Table - Can I use 2 1" Wood F
I would like to put a PeachTree Cast Iron Router Extension Wing on to a Jet Tablesaw. The issue is the Jet and PM tables are 29" deep but the PeachTree Cast Iron Router Extension Wing is only 27" deep.
However, why could I not make two approximately 1" deep wood filler pieces (for want of a better word) and the same thickness as the Extension Wing. I would put one filler piece in front and in back of the extension wing. One filler would go between the fence rail bracket on the front of the saw and the Cast Iron Router Extension Wing. The other would go between the Cast Iron Router Extension Wing and the rear "L" channel. Then on the front of the saw I could use like 2" bolts through the front rail bracket then thru the 1" wood shim then through the Cast Iron Router Extension Wing. On the back I would put 2" long bolts through the rear "L" channel through the 1" wood shim then through the Cast iron Router Extension wing. And tighten everything up nice and tight. Bada-Bing-Bada-Boom a 27" wing installed in a 29" space.
So basically - the two 1" wood filler pieces would just fill the 2" gap between the 27" Cast Iron Router Extension Wing and the 29" wide opening between the front rail bracket and the rear "L" channel on the Jet Tablesaw. Since the Jet and Powermatic table saw tables are 29" and the PeachTree Wing is designed to fit a 27" deep table saw table. So the wood would just be a filler.
Thoughts?
