Fish Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Has anyone come up with an idea to extend the front of the table further out? It needs to be 2-3 inches longer. Is there a “ home made “ way to do it? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredfret Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 A piece of hardboard that covers the entire table with a hole for the blade. Hold in place with 2 side tape. Fish, OCtoolguy and tomsteve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Buy a Seyco...... nah, make an auxiliary table top out of 1/8" masonite to the dimensions you want, or have one made out of 1/4" steel plate and replace your original table top. I had one I made with masonite on my Ex, not it is rebuilt to fit my Hegner.

scrollingforsanity Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Just use the Masonite it works great. Very inexpensive if you mess one up. Picked up a sheet of white Masonite at Lowes for $10.00. makes three table tops I believe. I have had mine on for a year and it is still in pretty good condition. Just wax once in a while, it really helps. grizz OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Did not know there was white Masonite. I may check that out. I would not mind a bit larger tables on my saws. OCtoolguy and scrollingforsanity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollingforsanity Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I believe the one Scott found on Lowes website is what I used. Works great for me. grizz OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollingforsanity Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I just used double sided tape. I put it around the perimeter and about three or four strips crosswise. Seems to hold it very secure. I have put a new top on once after about a year and the tape was easy to remove. I didn't really need to put a new one on but I wanted a smaller hole where the blade goes through. I kind of made the first one a bit large. I actually have it attached to the magnetic top that came with my Seyco. It would work just as well attached to your metal table. grizz OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Thanks everyone. I’ll work with Masonite and give it a try. I just find myself tipping my work up going off the edge. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Hagner is a 22" and the masonite table is approx. 1 1/2" bigger on all sides than the original table is. Could have made it bigger, but it is all the masonite I had at the time.
