<p>Iv'e done this with a router with an off set raised base, or you
could even use a router sled. Use a nice sharp bit and you can get
most</p>
<p>of it that way.</p>

I am making my first resin table. I decided to start with a
nightstand size table since it’s my first time doing a resin
table. I chose a board with a big crack in it. The crack is
not wide enough to call a “river” table, so we’ll call it a
“creek” table. Making the form for the top and pouring the
resin went well. It released from the form fairly easily.
One lesson learned was to screw the top down from the
bottom. I didn’t expect the wood to float so I had to
improvise and weigh it down with some bricks. Most of the
brick removed easily but one was epoxied to the wood pretty
good. I tried to belt sand it out but red brick is real
hard! I ended up chiseling out the brick which worked well
(dulled my chisel!) since I’ll have to sand down anyway.
Which leads me to my questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

What do you use to level the table and sand the resin? I
tried a belt sander but it loads up real quickly. Will the
resin dull my planer knives if I send it through the planer?
I have a drum sander but if the belt sander loaded up,
wouldn’t the drum sander? I thought about putting it back in
the form and use a router to level. The top wasn’t totally
level but I could use wedges to level, then route. The
underside of the top has a good 1/8” to 3/16” of resin and
I’d like to take that down to the wood. One YouTube video
said they liked Micro Mesh sanding pads because they are
porous and vacuum easily but that would be a lot of sanding
to remove 1/8” or more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
