Hey Guys,

I finally got my cabinet made to hold my Shark. I have 3-1/2 " casters under cabinet. I made cabinet big enough to add a top in the future which I will need to do at a later date. I was afraid that a wooden cabinet on wheels wood move when machine was in use. There is no vibration at all.

The forum and your comments and other posts have been very beneficial.

Thank you all,
Bob

I like it! Any closeup photos of your guides and clamps on the table? I made a guide to run along the side and am still working streamlining its use.

Hi Eric,

I made the rails on the side and front to let me know visually where my X & Y limits were. Also that are secured to the table and do not distort the table be. I think that my table is flatter with the rail in front. I do not like the clamp using the clamps that came with the machine. Especially when you clamp your project and your wood, the bolt and the end on the table are all on different individual rails. You can see that the rails are not on the same plane. When you loosen the clamps where there is no distortion there is not enough pressure on your project to keep it from moving. Anyway the current clamps work and keep the table from distorting, I have attached the pictures you ask for.
