GC 1V problems

[tim913]

n10spool if it happens again which i'm sure it will.Set up a router and remove 1/8 wood off the end off each rail and the problems solved.No sharp points and you can flush the casting and rails up perfect.

Thanks, but I don't have the necessary tools. I guess I'll have to take the rails off, and take them somewhere to be routed or can this be done by a hand router? Do you know the best tool to remove some exess off the top of the apron blocks so they will pull up tight?? I don't think they can be reached by a router, but maybe it will work there too. I've just never used a router.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tim,
If you have never used a router before, please don't make this your first time. You have a really nice table. Let a good mechanic have a go at it. Maybe Glen AKA: RealKingCobra can stop by on his way to New Jersey. (Glen...You do remember NJ..lol). Best of luck to you.

Had my GC IV put together yesterday. Pocket castings do not fit flush, points of castings sticking up on corner pockets. There is a gap all the way around between the rails and top of apron. Had another mechanic come out today. Aprons will not pull up tight into rails, he suggested shaviving off some of the top of the apron blocks, because he said bolts are tight, and apron blocks are flush to bottom of rail, but there is still quite a gap. Castings are pulled all the way down against wood, but still stick up. He suggested shaving the wood under castings to pull the castings down to fit flush. Is there a better way? It seems to me that if you buy a GC this should not be an issue.

Help would be appreciated
Thanks

I'm located in Central IL, but I'll get it taken care of. I called a local woodworking shop, and they said to bring the rails, and aprons in, and they would take care of removing the exceess wood. They have all the tools.

Thanks for your help
