Bandsaw extension tables for tilting

I would like to add extension tables to my bandsaw and I need something that allows the table to be tilted.

Basically I have the need to tilt my table and use a circle cutting jig to create an angled radius and I'd like to do it with something sturdy and repeatable.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cantilever type extension that would allow 24" of overhang.

Whatever I buy I'd like it to do double duty around the shop, so it will also be an outfeed for the bandsaw and outfeed for the jointer when needed.

Something like this looks nice. Aigner outfeed supports.
I made my outfeed and infeed out of wood it's not nearly as nice and the table cannot be tiled but it's mobile. I can take pic of mine if your interested in the idea.
Good luck

I looked at them, but it does not look like that leg is adjustable enough.

Here's an approach which is a lot less expensive than the Aigner way.... Start with a sheet of 3/4" plywood. It will cover the entire existing saw table, and hang off the edges as far as you choose. Figure out how to fasten it to your table. One possibility is machine screws going through the plywood into tapped holes in the existing saw table. If drilling holes into your saw table makes you wince, fasten cleats on the underside of the plywood, just outside the existing saw table. They repeatably position the plywood on the saw table. You may also be able to put a cleat on the underside of the plywood to hook into the miter guide slot in the saw table, if it has one. Use C-clamps to clamp the plywood to the table, along the uphill edge of the plywood. You can bore holes or cut a dado in the plywood to host your circle-cutting jig. If you want to get fancy, you can cover the plywood with formica so the workpiece slides easily. But really, sanding the plywood, and maybe putting on a little wax, should do the job.

A word of caution--bandsaws can be rather top heavy and an extended table could cause an upset.

Brian, if you come up with an adequate solution to this question please post it. Thanks.

Hi Brian, here's the extension table I have for my Hammer equipment.

http://us.feldershop.com/en-US/en-US...port-foot.html

It's 31 1/2" long, 6" wide and the leg is infinitely adjustable from 0 to 90 degrees, and 21 1/2" to 39 1/2" from floor to table top.

I've included a shot of it folded up, and the end of the extrusion showing the 2 T slots.

There's also a 16" version with no leg.

You'll need a mounting rail for it

Or this rail which is for the Hammer band saw and includes the angle piece that bolts onto the underside of the table.

Regards, Rod.

Looks to me that Rod has nailed what the OP was looking for.
I have to say that Rod's posts regarding Hammer equipment are very helpful. I know I am speaking for many when I say I really appreciate your efforts.
