New Outfeed/Assembly Table

[Safetyboy]

Using up the remaining left-overs from my workbench, I also built a new outfeed / assembly table:



The old one had a torsion box frame that sat on top of a couple saw-horses, but it could be rickety and the horse legs took up a lot of otherwise usable space:



I re-used the top - The neat thing about the new base is the way I captured it between the upright tops of the legs:



This way it slides easily back and forth for removing the blade guard, but doesn't move side to side at all:




Plus I now have a nice wide shelf to pile off-cuts and other junk on:



Outfeed tables are great - I don't remember how I ever worked the tablesaw without one. Make one for your saw!

Very nice Kevin! Looks great, and I agree 100% with you about having an outfeed table...it sure makes things a lot easier.

One recommendation for you. I actually use my workbench as my outfeed table instead of a dedicated one like yours, but, I added a drawer under the top to hold all the stuff you need for an assembly table and that has been real handy. I made my drawer slide through so that it can be opened from either end...just gotta be careful not to pull it too far out

Nice job! I really like it.

Nice work Kev!

I like the reuse of the torsion box top. Good 'n frugal solutions always impress

Very nice solution for moving it outta the way, too!

Very cool, Kevin. My wife would take that for her kitchen Island. Beautiful work bud!

I've got that same saw, Kevin. I have also been thinking about building some sort of outfeed table. Right now I am leaning toward building a rolling cabinet and mounting the saw in it rather than the stand it currently sits on. It will provide a bit of storage space and I can put a fold down outfeed table on the back. Thanks for sharing your idea with us.
