Hi, Im interested in purchasing some wood for a outfeed table very soon. It will be 4 deep by 6 wide by 36 3/4 tall. Melamine top with a 3/4 sheet below it for extra support.
I was thinking about 2x6s in a rectangle nailed on ends with 4x4 post on the inside lag bolted into the 2x6s from outside in from both sides on corners.Then lower rails on the inside which I will lay down ply for a work shelve.
Top pocket hole screwed from under.
Does the frame part sound good enough? I need cheap right now but sturdy,it wont be attached to TS so I can pull it apart from time to time and since my TS is on a moveable base. Its a sealed concrete floor pretty slick.I may put some felt protectors on bottom to make it slide easier.
Any suggestions.
This will be my main workbench so I do have to attach a vise to it also. I have a bench i made from plansnow "weekend bench" i think was the name.
Questions I guess I have are
1) The reason im doing this is for work support. Should I do something other than this? My rails are only 37 inches or so. I have one roller support right now when needed.Works okay not great.I would like to be able to rip an 8 foot board or sheet and be able to reach an pull it back without it falling on floor or balancing on one roller.
2) Does the frame sound okay?
3) The height is kind of high, im 5-8 , should I not make it my workbench.About 3 inches higher than the one im working at now.
Thanks in advance.
