Hey all, I recently bought a used Rigid 3650 TS. What an improvement from my craftsman direct drive! It had a ton of surface rust on top so i cleaned that all off and waxed the top. Any advice on cleaning the rust off the bottom of the wings? There are just a few spots on them that I would like to stop. First thing on my list of projects for it was a zero clearance insert, this was after cleaning the rust off and making sure everything was square on it. I read alot of posts on here about what to use and decided to use 1/2" mdf mostly because I had a few scrap pieces left and im on a tight budget. So my question is how do you hold your homemade zci down? I read a while ago about someone using magnets countersunk in the bottom. Is it worth the hassle? I plan on making a few inserts for different angles I use commonly and eventually a dado insert once I find a good deal on a set of dados.
Some other projects I have in mind is a folding out feed table based on Bob D's design and a router table mounted in the the wing.
Another question I had was dust collection on the router mounted in TS extension. I want to use the original fence because I think it will be more accurate than me trying to build one but I know I need to try do something about the dust since my shop is in my basement. Any suggestions or pictures of what you have done?
Thank you
