The way I leveled my router table was to get four 3/4" bolts and
matching nuts from the hardware store, and use them as heavy-duty
levelers. Basically, I just drilled a 3/4" hole in the bottom of each
leg as deep as the bolt could go, then a slightly larger hole for the
nut to fit into. Six taps with the chisel turned that larger hole
into a nice hex-shaped mortise, and then the legs could be leveled
with a wrench no matter where I put it.


Instead of sinking a nut into the wood, I was wondering if you considered
trying T-nets to the same effect?


I did, but they didn't have any T-nuts that size, and I thought it'd
be interesting to make a hex-shaped mortise for a change anyhow.
IIRC, to lay it out I ended up threading the nut partially on the
bolt, then sliding in and just tracing around it. Only took a couple
of minutes per leg- much easier and less fussy than tradtional M&T.
