Table deflexion

[tomahack]

I notice today that there is a deflexion of about 1/8" on my BT32 alu table. Is it possible to do something about it?

Where is tis deflection, can you post a larger picture in order to see the whole setup

The deflexion is at the center of the table. I just measure the gap which is 1/4"

When I received the crate, two of the "L" brackets where broken. I will post a picture later.

I have the same thing on my BT48. The table does sag in the center where the gear rack is mounted. It's supported along the sides by virtue of the guide rails but (on mine) has a 32" span that is unsupported. It's probably too much to expect a 1/2" 6061-T6 plate to stay flat by itself in that configuration.

Thanks to Mr.Bourget in S.C. for resolving the issue. I unbolt the table and put shims over the rack&pinion. It is now perfectly flat. My two emails at Shopbot support team remains unanswered.
