Mount the rails
Remove the rails from the long white boxes that came strapped to your crate, and locate the 5/16 x3/4” button
head screws and 5/16” T-nuts in your hardware package.

At this point it is recommended to place a sheet of plywood onto the table to serve as a work
surface. The table and spoiler board should be put on last to enable any adjustments needed
throughout the rest of the assembly.
Place one screw into the counter-bored
holes in the top of each rail and then loosely
thread a T-nut onto each screw.
As you did earlier, make sure that the flange
on the T-nut faces the inside of the groove
on the table side.
Orient one of the rails so that the V-track is
facing the outside of the table. Guide the rail
onto the table so that the T-nuts fit into the
groove on the top face of the table side.
Do
not fully tighten the bolts on either rail.
Push the rail assembly towards the inside of
the table, so that it sits flush with the inside
face of the table side.
Start at one end of the table and tighten the
bolts down the length of the rail. As you do
this, check each side of the rail with a level
or straightedge to be sure that the rail is
perfectly straight. Once this first rail is
straight and the bolts are fully tight, you can
move on to the next step: placing the gantry
onto the rails.
DO NOT tighten the bolts on the second
rail.
