I like the way you are headed. I think that if the pan is located at the end of the table, then it can hang off the edge of the spoilboard, and thus a sump can hang down below the spoilboard level,...

Have you formed a guess as to how much time you'll spend in wood mode, and how much in metal? How often you will switch?

A little thinking out loud:
In the original design the sub-spoil board serves two purposes: support the spoil board, and add rigidity to the frame. The rigidity may be affected in two ways here:...

Upper couple inches of travel? Makes me think about the compensation strut. It will tend to be weaker towards the top as it extends. Maybe it's a little too weak in spec, or worn?
