Damon,
We have a Thermwood Model 40 and it's just the wife and I. The machine is has been the best investment we could have made. It has outlasted every employee and has only called in sick once. (Turned out I had made it sick, so I didn't put that incident on it's permanent record!)
As I'm sure you are aware, placement within your shop will make a great impact on workflow. For us, it's central to workflow. Just make sure to leave you enough room to load from one side and offload on the other.
How'd you like getting that booger off the trailer?! They sent ours on a long truck and there was a very slight decline in our parking lot that lifted the rear of the trailer up enough that the machine wouldn't clear our loading bay door. We had to follow the truck back to the depo and they made ME drive their fork truck and move the router from the long trailer to a short trailer. I was sweat'n bullets! But it all worked out and the Thermwood has never let me down!
Good luck and keep us informed.

I dont have a truck dock,plenty of big oh doors but no raised dock. I had to hire a BIG flat bed wrecker, raise it to height of semi, pull and roll my router on the flat bed, then tilt the wrecker bed and slide my router onto the cement floor, that my friends was a day to remember. Luckily in my former life we moved a lot of heavy machinery and I had a couple tricks in the bag....Still about all the stress I would care for in one day!!

And I was going to put the spoil boards on the table to get them out of the way, and they do not fit the table. Are they oversized and have to be trimed? It fit perfect on the width, but it is a little over 10', maybe 10'-1/8". Not a big deal, but I was just curious.

Congratulations Damon.
When you say spoilboards, did you purchase extra spoilboards, or are you talking about the spoilboard and wasteboard (1/4" sheet)? The spoilboard that comes with the machine should be the right fit. We do sell extras that are the right fit or we sell them as raw meaning they will be oversized. If it is the spoilboard that comes with the machine, and it does not filt please let me know.
thanks,
Jason Susnjara

come on Mike, we are going to celebrate when we get this thing fired up.
Jason, Keep in mind this is new to me, and the tech is not scheduled to be here untill week after next. The 3/4\" mdf board is a little too long. If I am looking at it correctly, there is a track with a gasket running around the perimeter of the table. The board looks as if it should slip down into the table and up against the gasket. I have it all the way pushed forward and it fits between the sides perfectly, but its the length that has it pushed up on one end.
I just walked out there again to look. It's almost like the 3/4 mdf is not square. on one corner I think you could force it in there, but on the other corner with the pop up pins, it is sitting up on the aluminum table and likes maybe 1/16 going in. The 1/4\" sheet is larger than the 3/4\", It measures 61 1/8 x 121 1/8. I am curious though. If the 3/4\" mdf has to be forced down in the track ( I did not want to do this without asking), How would you get it back out of there for replacement? If this is the correct size it will be very snug.
Thanks for the help Jason.

If you are going to replace it I would screw a few screws into the sheet making sure not to penitrate into the table of course but use them.
By the way, I sure would like to be there to see you fire it up...
