It appears so!
Il lay the blame on windows 8. Haven't figured out how to see the original orientation of the picture in windows 8 as it auto rotates.

Hey grub,

I was wondering what gauge steel you used as your stand and how you mounted the plywood to the top? I just finished welding my new stand and trying to find a better way to mount the plywood on top without drilling thru and having a bolt going all the way through the tube and sticking out the bottom.

Thanks,
Justin

HI there, Justin.
I used 1/8" wall square tubing. To attach the piece of Baltic to the top of the frame, I drilled .25" into the wood with a .75" forstner bit, then using the center point left by the forstner bit, i drilled (using predrill size determent by screw used) through the rest of the wood and into the top of the square tubing. I believe it was size 10x2.5" long metal screws ( #3 robertson) that I used, a long with a quarter inch washer, they also all got lock tight. The longest part was drawing out the lines and marking each hole, the cordless impact made quick work of putting it all together.

second photo shows how it was laid out and finished product.

I used the same method to attatch the electrical to the side, as well as the first layer of maple to the machine base, except with the machine base i used 1/4" button head bolts and extrusion t nuts. wasnt the funnest job trying to get the nuts all lined up the correct way then lift the piece in to position but doable with a little patience.

hope this helps,
Anthony
