Hello again! one year and seven months ago I bought a 3x6 Maple tabletop from Grizzly. I don't normally use it for large projects and I haven't checked it for "flatness" in awhile, but this past weekend I laid my level across it and the level rocked(!).Needless to say I was surprised and more than a little bit irritated, it has a 3/16' bow on one end and 1/8" bow on the other.
1) its out of warranty. 2) I don't have my reciept.I live in a very rural area in western WA. Three hours from a city large enough to have a sander capable of sanding it flat. So, I have to make it flat. I don't own a jointer. My questions for the group are; Does MDF normally have a straight enough edge to use as rails for a router sled? Do I make both sides flat?
In this case "flat" is within 1/16".
Thanks, jaquestion
