I have the big MFT but a small shop. I thought I might
keep the table folded up but it's a beast and it would be
better to keep it set up all the time.
It will just fit behind my contractor table saw and the
width of about 48" will work well because I have a
cast iron router table already mounted to the saw
with both wings also mounted.
I think I could get the MFT dead even with the saw
but I worry about wear on the MDF and I worry about
keeping dead even. I have the nastiest pitted uneven
concrete floors so just bumping into the table will throw
it off.
If I make the MFT well below the level of the table saw
I can have a MFT mount outfeed roller but if I'm an eighth below the table saw table then my work will fall down an eighth onto the table.
What do people usually do with outfeed tables?
I currently use two roller stands that I make dead even
with a straightedge and that works great.
Thanks for any ideas.
