Got a new lift so I had to make a new table top. Carefully measured for the 2 router jigs. Perfect! Routed the inner cut to make the hole for the lift to fit through. Perfect! Placed the new top on the cabinet. Not really good! I cut the hole in the wrong direction. Crap! Now I'll have to make a new fence and the switch is now on the back.
Oh well. Things could have gone worse I guess. Just make adjustments to the situation.

Can't you just mount it upside down and use the router from the bottom?
I tried not believing. That did not work, so now I just believe

I'm to embarrassed to post a pic. Plus I tried to salvage it and just made matters worse. Another addition to the wood pile.

Sorry it happened, but remember measure twice, cut once isn't just for TS cuts. A trial fitting would have probably pointed out what was going to happen. Hope you can make it work.

Sell it to someone you don't like and make another.

Make sure you laminate both sides of that top!
