I'm having a little trouble planing some 2m lengths of 2" thick oak on my Scheppach HMS260. There is a small bow over the length. Not surprising really since the overall table length of the Scheppach tables is about 1m. I am supporting the wood both ends but my shed floor is so uneven this can never really be accurate enough to do anything other than just support the timber.
So I'm going to add a precisely set infeed extension table, strapped directly to the infeed table (there are some handy 10mm holes already there). I plan to support the 3/4" MDF table on some hardwood runners and may also need a support at the end.
So finally to my 2 questions:
1. As far as I can work out it's only necessary to add this to the infeed table (at the outfeed table I just plan to user a crudely adjusted roller stand). Is this correct?
2. What's the minimum length infeed table I need to add? I guess if I add a 1m length table that'll support the entire length?
Appreciate all your thoughts and comments.
