Wow! Very nice job. I just finished a fliptop for my planer and CMS, but it
isn't nearly as sophisticated as yours. Mine only has a 1" dowel for a
hinge.


These hinges are extra rigid because they don't have the support a
through rod would provide. There is a bending moment that has to be
transferred to the side panels. And I had the quarter inch steel plate
available.
