Hi Folks,

I screwed up and went cheap with the purchase of aluminum for the table of my router. I purchased 5/8" mill finish 6061 aluminum plate that is 27" x 48". I rolled the dice in hopes it would be somewhat flat, it isn't. It is curled .090" at the center. I know, I should have purchased MIC 6 but like I said, I went cheap and now I have to pay the price.

Any suggestions on how to flatten this thing? I am in the Chicago area, does anyone know of a company that has the equipment to flatten it?

I am open to ideas, and hopefully this is a lesson to others, don't be cheap because you have to pay the price no matter what.

Thanks in advance!
