I might suggest that you put some short wood screws into the bottom of
the inserts, in the same locations as the setscrews in the steel plate,
in the event your new inserts need a touch of tweaking to be even with
the table top.


Thanks for the suggestion, but the plywood was actually just slightly proud of the table top and had to be sanded to be brought level with the table top. Besides being made of hardwoods, it also sits flat on the perimeter shelf so it's very well supported, thus no sag.


So what you really need is "1/4" plywood manufactured recently, slightly
thinner than 1/4" 8^)

I do a fair amount of wood salvaging from old cabinets and furniture and
a find like yours makes it all worthwhile. At least you have the
incentive to use it, I just hoard it.
