Removed Gouges from the HS609PP - Here is a picture of the HS609PP after the gouges were removed. The deepest gouge was the one on the far right. I spent a good bit of time finishing the HS609PPs, but I want to do it right. You can see in this picture what I was talking about with the MDF I got from Home Depot. Notice how clean the holes are.

Removed Gouges from the HS609PP - I borrowed this dial indicator from a machinist at work (thanks Joe!) so I could check the depth of the spots were I had to remove material.

Removed Gouges from the HS609PP - I set the dial to zero on the flat face of the HS609PP. The scale on the dial is in 0.001".

Removed Gouges from the HS609PP - I slid the HS609PP so the dial indicator was in the deepest of all the spots where I had to remove material, the highest deflection I got was 0.006" and none of the others were more than 0.004". Most were less than 0.002". As per Van's engineering, anything less than 0.015" is ok.
