Installing the Table
The optional wood extension table (including the
optional router table) sits flush against the saw
table and along the inside of the rails. The
Powermatic logo (or warning label on the router
table) should face outward. The extension table
is not bolted to the saw table. It is bolted only to
the rails.
The extension table and saw table must be
aligned properly so the Accu-Fence will slide
smoothly from one to the other.
1. Place the extension table between the rails
and up against the saw table, leaving the
extension table raised just slightly above the
saw table. Clamp the extension table to the
front and back rails as shown in Figure 7.
Clamping pressure should be enough to
secure the table yet allow minor
adjustments.
2. Use a rubber mallet (or a hammer and block
of wood) to tap the extension table up flush
against the cast iron saw table (Figure 6).
Then tap down the extension table at
various points along its edge where it meets
the saw table, until it is level with the saw
table (Figure 8).
3. As one part of the edge becomes level with
the table, tighten the clamp on that side.
Then move to the other side and repeat,
until the full length of the edge is level with
the saw table.
4. Lay a straight edge across both extension
table and saw table to ensure proper
leveling.
5. When extension table is properly aligned,
drill holes into the wood table using the
holes in the rails as your guide. See Figure
9. (You may wish to drill 3/32" pilot holes
first.) Drill 1/4" holes into the front edge of
the table using the holes in the front rail as a
guide. Drill 5/16" holes into the back edge
of the table using the holes in the back rail
as a guide.
Securing Wood Table to Front Rail
Referring to Figure 10:
Insert six flat head screws (A) through the front
rail and wood extension table and secure with
six each flat washers (B), lock washers (C) and
hex nuts (D). Finger-tighten only.
