I have purchased this table at Lowe's and upon reading the manual, it states not to use bits larger than 2 1/2" diameter. I have a set of rail and stile/raised panel bits in which the raised panel bit is 3 1/2" diameter. I am using a skil 2 1/4 hp router on this table and am thinking that If I use the largest hole insert then install the bit through the top of the table, then I should be able to use it. The fence can be modified to use this diameter bit by cutting the ends a little.
Other than the bit coming into contact with the adjustable fence, is there anything that could happen by using this dia. bit? I always make sure that I have a sturdy setup and that my bits/blades are tight so there is no worry about slippage.
