If you take that slab down to 3/4 on purpose or out of ineptitude I will be ashamed of you. And the likelihood of it moving considerably will be substantial. But this will be a small, 22” x 18” x 32” high and a top that thick will look odd, no? Or did I hj this and the comment was meant for op? Sorry about that!

wdwerker Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 You could bevel the edge to visually reduce the thickness. A thinner one piece top from that slab will have a much greater chance of warp , twist, bow , crack etc. 1 1/4 is as thin as I would take it. Try to remove approximately the same amount from each side. A bevel type raised panel bit would be an easy way to bevel the underside if running it on edge through the tablesaw doesn't appeal to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Good idea Steve. The table on my side that came with the bd suite has a faux top that is 2” thick. Sorry for the quality of the pic. I think I will stop at 1.75” or so . You are right, the more I remove, the squirrely it will git! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I couldn’t stand it. One more pass on the router sled on each side and, down to 1.5”. I think I will stop there and design around that thickness. 1/32” off difference from corner to corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
