Only other minor issue I found on mine was I had to shim one of the pillow blocks up to match the exact height of the table.
Charles, now that you've gone high tech how much time do you save thickness sanding a top or back set? I like my homemade thickness sander, but it sure does take time.

btw Nick, how do you plan on adjusting your table height?
Also do you any auctions near where you live? I was at one sat. and they had 4 electric motors from 1/3 h to 1 horse and they went for $10.00 each.

I'll adjust the table height with a simple little bolt coming up from underneith. I'll take a picture of it later.
I don't know of any auction, though there probably are some. My best bet for electric motors (I think) will be the local scrap yard. They'll sell pretty much whatever they have to you by the pound. So for 5-10 bucks, I can probably acquire a box full of used electric motors, one of which is bound to work.
I will do it eventually. I'll also see if they have any steel pipe when I do go, cause I'll be building my own bending iron soon as well.
