View Full Version : Wood Vise location, in outfeed table? Small Shop

My two car garage is seemingly a small shop and I'm trying to figure out how to add a wood working quick release vise. I often find myself clamping things to my table saw to help in planing and sanding. Always a pain.

Garage is small because the right side has a full bank of upper and lower cabinets from an kitchen my dad tore out (he's a contractor). The left side has a reloading bench and the front has laundry.

it leaves me the middle of the garage and that's occupied by a 52" Sawstop, 8" jointer, router table, 16" powermatic planer AND a bandsaw, chop saw, and rolling flipcart 13" planer/sander.

I was thinking about making an outfeed table on my sawstop that folds out when I need it via brackets bolted to the saw. I want to add drop down legs on the outfeed and then a quick release vise to the outfeed. Now that I think about it, that may not work because jaws on those vises are 3"-5" tall. That I don't would work with only a 3/4" plywood outfeed top.

I could do this, but then would have to store the case iron wing.

This location has worked extremely well for me for decades.

I have a smaller size woodworking vise on outfeed table that is removable on my table saw. I just beefed up the 3/4" outfeed top underneath to support the vise. The outfeed table is useable space and needs to be used occasionally. Doing mostly turning now, it seems to be a good storage spot.
