Outfeed table for saw?

http://home.att.net/~mboceanside/wsb/html/view.cgi-photo.html--SiteID-639331.html

That outfeed is 98" from the front of the saw to the end of the table.

My outfeed table is about the width of the Unisaw plus the extension
table. It is about four feet deep. It is on casters but also has
cabinet levelers on it so that I can get fussy about the level, when
needed, by cranking on the levelers. I don't use jigs that ride in
the slots, so the top is one expanse of shiny P-Lam, which helps when
riding full sized sheet goods through the saw. I use an outfeed
roller (HTC) to catch the outside of the board when doing rips that
need this.

You can see what it looks like at:

I did the folding outfeed table. It is never folded down. I'm going to
change to a fixed island with the shaper and tablesaw catty cornered from
each other with infill table surface to square it out. You need about 50"
behind the blade to be able to rip an 8' sheet and not have it tip off the
back.

I built a 4 ft deep by 6'6" wide separate table, with slots for miter
gauges and sleds. I will soon build a second table to add 2 ft to the
right side of the saw and outfeed table. My table weighs over 200
pounds, not including the tools stored on the shelf below it. There
is no need to attach it to the saw.

When I'm not cutting, the saw plus the table makes a great assembly
area. Mine is covered with white melamine, which glue will not stick
to.

Yes, I admire Tom's work. I'd like to think software I've written

I needed the "good" to go with the "ain't", LJ. Y'all need to spend
about ten or fifteen years writing dialogue every day to have an
appreciation for such things. There's a Chicago Manual of Style
'round here somewheres and a Strunk and White - prolly a copy or two
of Turabian and a moldy copy of Stone and Bell but they ain't much use
in writin' dialogue good.

Yeah - I never built a proper assembly table and would use the outfeed
table for most of that sort of work. The fence on that Unisaw will go
to a little over eight feet and that is a big help in cross cutting
4x8 ply to length for bookcase sides before turning the sheet around
and ripping out the individual pieces. It's a stock Delta item but I
don't see them advertising it much. The height of the outfeed table
can be adjusted with the leg levelers over a range of about three
inches. When I crank them all the way up, the table sits on casters
so that it can roll around the shop as needed.

You're all set up to do crosscuts on a 4x12 panel the hard way,
aren't you? I'll bet a small plane could land on that thing.

Do you also do assembly on the outfeed table? Height?

i built my extention table from 6/4 white oak and covered it with
corian. im planing one day to make the rear table the same way but i
need more room first. skeez

My version:

<http://www.bburke.com/wood/images/outfeed.jpg>

Formica laminated to 1 1/2" of MDF and framed with ash to protect the
edges. Hardwood miter slots for longevity. Height is fine tunable
with machine bolts into T-nuts at the bottom of each leg.

The table is not attached to the saw in any way, as it weighs about
200 pounds without anything on the shelves.

Makes an excellent assembly area as well.

Guy,

I've posted a front and back shot of the table after it was
complete on alt.binaries.pictures.furniture. The subject
line is "Unisaw Outfeed Table" and tucked kinda neatly
between "Britney Spears NUDE!!!" and "Christina Agulara
NUDE!!!".

I have some more shots and a write up on how the whole thing
was done that I had sent to Pat Barber over the course of a
few e-mails. I'd be more than happy to post the "as builts"
along with the narrative but lest I seem to be looking like
a David Eisen wannabe (:-)) I will await your request that I
do so.

UA100

I await photos with licentious and vicarious avidity.

pedagogically yours,

Greg

You'll need to figure out size that works for you. However, I would
strongly recommend that you not buy the Delta outfeed table. Take a
look in the google archives, I posted a review last summer (around June
- August) timeframe detailing the issues I had with the one I purchased.
I wound up building my own annex next to the delta unit.

He must never use it. Way too clean. No

There are a few good pictures on the web (sorry I did not save them).
But most look like a shelf supported by triangles secured to the
tablesaw cabinet. Some are drop down with hinges, but that would
complicate the contruction. I use portable saw horses and a Record
adjustable roller. If I have a 4x8 sheet (or something else that's
big and clumsy), I ask SWMBO to help me.

Since space is no consideration this tip will probably not be of any
benefit. I thought it would be handy to have a outfeed table with
drawers that I could roll between my table saw and shaper. I found a
homak tool chest that was 34 inches high. Placed a melamine top on
the chest and it matches the height of the table saw and shaper. The
chest is a great addition in storing shaper/router bits, saw blades,
push sticks, tape measures etc. Cost is about $600. Not cheap, but
these are professional grade cabinets and should last a lifetime. URL

Even better is drill a hole at the bottom of the leg, put in a t-nut
and use a carriage/stove bolt with a nut.

April '02 to be exact. Today's landscape has you seeing the
jointer, Gumby the Powermagic 14" band sar (the model not

Build it - will be a LOT less expensive than buying one

Would suggest it be as wide as the table top, and at least 4ft
long. Route out recesses for the miter bar slots

You can find adjustable legs in most of the woodworking catalogs

You could even formica the top to get you a tough, wear resist and
smooth surface for the wood to slide over

Nexttime I will built my outfeed to be the full length of the table
and rails, and have it extend 4ft from the table. Only reason I have
the Delta outfeed table is that it came as part of the package deal
with the saw. Having looked it over before I installed it, I would
built one myself next time

Mine is 80" wide and 63" deep with a notch in the corner for
the saw. It's not too small and I've yet to say, "Damn, I

My shop is small so I have the Delta outfeed table that folds down when I am
not using it. If I had the room that you have I would make two idential
tables on casters to be used as portable infeed, outfeed, and assembly
tables. I would make them about 3' x 5' so that each could support sheet
goods. The tables are also great for moving multiple parts to the next
milling stage.

Good Luck - Bob McBreen - Yarrow Point, WA

_buy_ adjustable legs? phooey. Rip a 2x4 and run a lag bolt into the

Nice size shop BTW....LUCKY YOU....

My outfeed table on my Cabinet saw is as wide as my fence..(52 inches.)...
and it is about 40 to 48 inches in lenght...not really sure but it is long
enough that an 8 foot long pylwood panel can be ripped in half and STAY ON
THE TABLE... and since I do not normally rip boards of panels longer then 8
foot this works for me... Just remember that the distance from the back of
the blade to the end of the outfeed table has to be greater then 48 inches
or that plywood panel will fall off ... lol...

Down side of my table is that I find myself using it a lot as a work table
(work bench) or assembly table not really
a problem but what can I say...
