I know there is another thread out there to make a lighter PowerStick work surface, but since I'm looking at the 8' PowerStick, I've been trying to come up with some ways to improve the flatness of a 4x8' work surface. What I have come up with so far is taking some structural extruded aluminum (like that used in the PowerStick and frame of the buddy) and just simply bolting a 8' strip down each side of the plywood work surface. The idea being, with the PowerStick down the middle and an extrusion on either side, hopefully it would create a nice flat 8' moving table. The concern now being, would the weight of the extrusions bow the table in the 4' direction. I now I'm trying to figure out the best way to put extrusions across the 4'direction without interfering with the drive system. You guys think this would help...or just a waste of time and money?
