MW 1000 height adjustment?

[kwakefield]

I have an MFT/3 and the MW 1000 with the extension table. The MW 1000 is just a hair taller that the MFT/3. So when using the MW 1000 to support long pieces while cross cutting on the MFT it lifts the piece just enough to affect the squareness of the cut.

Can I lower the height of the work surface on the MW 1000 by a few mm ?

It might be easier to shim up the tabletop on the MFT/3. OTH the heigth difference may be caused by overextending the correctable foot on one of the legs.

Can you plane down the little wooden stand-off blocks a bit?

Oh, that’s a good idea … I’ll check the legs on the MFT/3. Thanks!

On the MFT/3 or the MW 1000?

The MW 1000. If it's sitting above the MFT3, just take a little off the stand-off blocks. You can always make new ones again if you wanted to revert to original height.
