bleedinblue Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm about to finish up a pair of end tables for the living room. During dry fit there was no wobble while on my bench. After glue up, sitting each table on top of my table saw, each has a little. I know the legs are all exactly the same length and I kept the tabkes square when they were in the clamps. SO frustrating. The same happened with the sitting bench I built a few months ago. I know this was discussed here before but I couldn't find the thread(s) I know with variances in our shop and home floors this is a common problem, how do you best deal with it? Also, I will need some sort of rubber bottoms on the legs of the tables to prevent sliding. I might be able to kill two birds here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Gary ragowsky has a cool video of a trick he uses. If it's very slight, I would just sand a long leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I just found this on YouTube. I had watched it before but forgot about it. It might work for these tables, but anything much larger it wouldn't. let's hope I don't screw them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedinblue Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Nice, I didn't even pay attention to the name. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHoleInOne Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 PSA sandpaper stuck to the surface of your table saw. Take the long leg and work it back and forth while your table sits on top of the saw. Very Simple. similar action as in the video posted above. -Ace- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonPacific Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 For very slight wobble, I find a set of felt furniture pads help make up the variance. I use these anyways to protect my floors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
