Outfeed table Project completion plus a wierd gloat

[John Cavanaugh]

Well over the weekend I finally finished up this project. I put the hinged legs on and attached some velcro to hold the legs to the table when folding.

When I started the project I did have a bit of a problem finding a good way to attach the outfeed table to my saw. In the end I used a relatively heavy duty channel iron that I spray painted with a very high gloss paint typically used for refrigerators etc. Hopefully that will keep it slick enough for the fence to slide freely on.

Obviously the best looking thing in the photo is my daughter. She is reminding everyone to practice shop safety and wear your eye protection.

The gloat in the picture is that big monster cup/mug I got at home depot. Its just what I have been looking for, something that holds a large amount of a liquid, keeps it cool and free from sawdust. Its called the "Bubba Keg" and cost me $7.


For those of you that are very detail oriented, that wood pile in the background is going to become a bench/assembly table in the next few weeks as well. :)

Nice execution of the extension table. Looks very clean.
Your daughter is adorable, and too cute for words.
That Bubba Keg is too big. I'd be running to the bathroom too much to ever get anything done if I drank one of those full of coffee. Of course it could save the cost of an oscillating spindle sander, due to the jitters :eek:

John,

That outfeed table looks great! That is one of the projects that I would really like to get done once I get back to doing projects for me.

Great looking outfeed table but I bet your shop assistant did all the work. ;)

John, what modifications have you made to the saw top? I noticed what looked like a milled slot and a router table insert on the left wing. I have the same TS so I'm especially curious. Nice work!

Keith you have a good eye.

The left wing attachment for my table saw is the BenchDog ProMax router table. It may seem a little expensive but the quality is outstanding. It provides a very nice cast iron left wing and the router fence (shown hanging from the bottom of the wing in the photo) is excellent.

I have been very happy with this product. On the right side of the table I have a standard Dewalt cast iron wing so I have a very nice solid surface to work from.

If you want to build a similar outfeed table etc let me know and I can send more pics etc. Also Im planning on building a side table extension on the right side as well. It will just be a small extension & place to store all the little things, like push sticks, wrenches for TS & router etc.

Nice work :D I have the same saw as well and really like it. I too have been trying to figure out the best way to attach an extension tabe to the DeWalt TS. Any insights you have would be greatly appreciated. Also was the left wing replacement a straight bolt in or did you need to do some drilling to get it installed? Come to think of it I think I just want to clone your set up ;)

Too funny!!!!! :D:D:D:D

[Corey Hallagan]

Nice work on the outfeed table. I like your whole table /router set up. Looks good!

Michael,

The promax was a straight bolt on. Only thing I had to do was to enlarge a few holes to accomodate the larger bolts.

Ill try to dig up my original pictures when I started the table, I have shot of the channel iron and how it got attached etc.
