Hi guys not posted for a while.
Does anyone have any recommendations for seam setters for solid surface tops.

With or without the MFT's?

$725.00, plus tax and shipping.

The top in the photo is being test fit. It is to large to move and set in one piece. This job has a smaller L top that has been bonded in the shop and will be set as one piece.

Can you put downward pressure on the joint to adjust for any lippage

The pods bring the pieces into horizontal alignment. Never had to push or shim a joint to achieve on plain top surfaces.

Isn't that the question of the day?  [eek]

I took a 2nd and then a 3rd look to see if those tables were all MFT's.  [jawdrop] [jawdrop]
How many are there Tom?

Perfect Edge.

If you have access to a CNC or know someone that does, cutting scrap phenolic is a lot cheaper than the Perfect Edge parts.

But then again, if you don't, the PE is cheaper.
