The Downside to a Nicely Ground Table... :(

I was thinking of getting some rubber sheets to protect mine.

Well, I made mine out of aluminum. I believe 1/4 thick, needed enough thickness for the flat head screws.

I did the same but used 1/4" HDPE sheet the supplier cut to size for my 935 table. All I did was trim for the vise and took some 1/4" aluminum flat bar and machined to fit in the table tracks then secured to the HDPE with flat head screws.

HDPE: Is that the white boards stuff sold at Home Depot/Lowes?

HDPE = High Density Polyethylene, think plastic kitchen cutting boards

Thanks Jim. Found some online. I like the black (marine grade).

I wonder how bad the smell or smoke is if a tan or blue hot chip hits the HDPE board? Any thoughts?

Not an issue. When I was cutting the shafts for the splitter the other week, lots of hot chips were flying about and some hit some plastics in the area and even embedded into the surface, there was no smoke or odor from the plastics. There was a lot of smoke and odor from the oils and coolant though!

I bought my HDPE from Interstate Plastics cut 9" x 35"
