Dave,
I just measured the thickness of the bench top. It is only 50mm. I remembered being told that the top being made up of 2 x 30mm thick ply with space in between and the 30mm ply is made from 2 pieces of 15mm ply stick together. Didn't realize that the carpenter made the adjustment without my knowledge. In my excitement, I didn't check...
To tell you the truth, I'm scare like sxxt to drill through the bench top. Tried drilling through some laminated plywood for my sherline base, the laminate cracked badly. I'll rope in my friend, who is a contractor for the work done in the shop, to help me with this.
Just for thought; a Sherline member did this for his mill. Workable here?
Regards,
Wong
