I just put it back together and stood it up in the garage.<\/p>\n<p>This thing is like 1 1\/4&#8243; thick, so it ought to be plenty sturdy. But it has a dip in it. The center is a little lower than the ends. I&#8217;m thinking of fixing this by screwing a piece of scrap aluminum to the bottom of the desk. It&#8217;s shaped like an angle iron, about 2&#8243; on a side. I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s stiff enough to do the job, but I&#8217;ll know ten seconds after I attach it.<\/p>\n<p>The table is really long. I am not sure what to do about a T-track, since they are probably shorter than the table. I suppose it doesn&#8217;t matter if a T-track dead-ends in the table&#8217;s surface, as long as one end is open.<\/p>\n<p>The fun part will be cutting the hole for the router insert. I believe the ideal tool for this is&#8230;a ROUTER. But I am not sure. Maybe you&#8217;re supposed to jigsaw it out and then clean it up with a router. And of course, I have no jigsaw.<\/p>\n<p>I figure I can plop the miter saw over the router opening, and on the rare occasions when I want to use the router, I can take it off.<\/p>\n<p>If none of this works, I can always put the mangled results by the curb and enjoy the knowledge that comes from screwing up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Junk, Redeemed I am trying to turn my huge surplus MDF desk into a router\/miter saw table.
