Rebuilding a cheap table saw part #3

The 2 sheets of hdf are glued and screwed together. There's an extra strip of 4 cm. under the front for the t-style fence (inspired by Mathias Wandel) with some alterations probably.

After the sheets were glued and screwed together I realized that I will need to make a firm frame. This top becomes heavy! 

The original top "on top" of the other... . 

The difference between the old and the new... 

Kind of looks smooth and smart doesn't it...

and so an other problem needs a solution..

The original "zero clearance" insert is just a few milliliters from one of the bolts that holds the motor. 

After putting the housing of the saw on the top... I realized I could not reach the bolts that are hanging the tilting / lifting mechanism to the top, so yes, I had to take it apart again.

After putting the holding plates in like on the original it turned out that the blots are to short due to the 5 millimeter extra thickness. We are going to have to buy 5 new ones, well when that turns out to be all, we'll be happy!
