3Add table tab to remaining floating table
Mark drill centers on the right edge of the remaining floating table as shown in Fig. 5, then use the (2) #10 x 5/8” self drilling Phillips head fasteners to attach the table tab. See Fig. 6. Leave each of the two fasteners slightly loose to allow the tab to pivot down and
out of the way for other floating table applications. For the model 510 floating table, add self adhesive UHMW to both ends of the tubular rails. Adhere the pads just inside the tubes at the top as shown in Fig. 7.
