Fold down outfeed for table saw

[Prashun Patel]

Does anyone have pix/plans for an outfeed table that hangs off the back of a table saw?

My saw's got an enclosed motor, so the only obstruction on the back is the blade guard. I'm looking for a table that is attached somehow to the back rail or back of the cabinet via a piano-ish hinge and then is supported by a fold-out leg. No luck searching so far...

Sorry. Ignore. I found a good thread here that answered my question

Can you put a link for us newbies?

Here's one by our own Jim Becker:

Here are some pictures of a simple outfeed drop down table I added to my small Hybrid saw. I used two heavy duty Stanley brackets attached with machine bolts to the cabinet and Rockler folding table leg hinges. Not as big as Jim Becker's but has worked out well for me.

Here’s my Rube Goldberg version. 5th one down.

Thanks, All.
Robert/ Bruce, I'm trying to design something like what you have. I need something that'll work with the blade guard in place. Your design looks like it can be notched in the center easily.

However, the real prob I'm having is that I want a continuous feed from the saw's top to the outfeed WITHOUT interrupting the travel of the fence (mine travels along the back rail.)

I think I'll have to leave an inch of space between the deck and the start of the 'shelf' on the bracket. I know it's gonna be a bear keeping the miter slots lined up, though, with any kind of gap between the xt and the deck.

Rube Goldberg? Hardly. Yr design is elegant.
