Sawstop outfeed table

[Dave Bureau]

I just set up my new sawstop and decided that a nice big outfeed table was in order. I also needed some storage space so I decided to add a little to the table. I came up with this. 14 drawers and 1 cabinet. 40" x 60". I've made a lot of projects but This is the first thing that I actually made for the shop, so I decided to make it look half decent also. The Incra fence is also a sweet setup.

Wow! That's nicer than any of the furniture in my house!

[Dave Bureau]

Thats funny that you say that. TLOML said that its a piece of furniture, not a bench!

[Joe Jensen]

Very nice, similar to what I did. I incorporated a woodpecker router plate for the router and a blank plate for when I'm just using it as a bench / outfeed table. I'm a shaper guy for large stuff, and my router setup is barely more than a router in a table. No fence, no lift, just clamp a board for a fence and go. Yours is a lot more like furniture however.

Actually I got the idea from your table. I have a router table and a shaper so there was no need for the router table in mine. I may be sorry later on though.

Aren't you two missing a miter slot continuing its way into your outfeed tables? Or, is it low enough to clear?

Beautimus Maximus on both of 'em!

[Dave Bureau]

I haven't needed slots yet but I'm prepared to cut them if needed. My jointech sled doesn't reach the outfeed table before the end of the cut. And if I need more room I can just pull the saw back a bit.

[Jim Becker]

Yea, you added "a little" to the table! LOL Very nice!

[David Giles]

Very nice looking outfeed support!

[Jules Dominguez]

That looks really nice, Dave, and a lot of handy storage space in addition to the outfeed support. Do you roll the saw forward when you need to open the right-side access door?

[Don Bullock]

Dave, that's perfect and exactly what I'd like to do with my SS. Thanks for sharing it with us.:D

Nice job, your outfeed table is nicer than my kitchen at this point.

I don't use a sled as I have a monster Dewalt 14" radial arm saw for crosscuts. For wider cuts I use a Festool saw setup. The miter guage I use clears the blade without the slots. I originally intended to put them in, and I even bought some aluminum track to line the slots. But, I don't remember the last time I used a miter guage on the saw, and the one I used clears the blade, so I didn't cut the slots.

Very nice, Dave. (Yours too, Joe.) I like this recent trend to invest extra time and money to make shop furnishings attractive (though I might have a different opinion if I made my living as a woodworker).

Dave...congratulations on that outfeed bench...I also believe in making shop furniture that is a little upscale so to speak...I find it a great exercise for testing different joints and drawer styles etc before making a piece of furniture...and its a great exercise in design which you've passed with flying colors...your shop also looks interesting with that slopping roof, are you upstairs or on ground level?

[JohnT Fitzgerald]

Very nice! Just one question, how did you manage to line up the height to 'match' your SS - isit just a rough match taken into account during construction? or do you have some sort of levelers or adjusters that allow you to get extremely close to the height of the saw table?

I'm upstairs in my garage.26x32 with a knee wall about 30" high. thats why im limited on space. (no walls to hang cabinets on.)

I have 8 levelers. adjustable with a hex wrench. i leveled it off to the height of the saw and added the apron on the bottom to keep most of the dust out.

Nice! Great minds think alike . . . leg levelers and all! I just finished my outfeed table last weekend.

My drawer fronts were made from a bunch of free cutoffs that came from a cabinet shop.

As I said on another board . . . total overkill for a shop. But I used this project as practice for making kitchen cabinets.

Dave, I started browsing your thumbnails before I read your name and said to myself, "hey, I've been in that shop!" Where did you get the Sawstop? Don't tell me it was another one of your Craigslists steals! What did you do with your Unisaw? BTW, very nice cabinet! Too nice for a shop!!

You hit it on the head Jim. I got the saw on CL. $2850. with a 52" extention. Brand new in the crate. I just had to have it.:D sold the Delta to a local creeker.

Nice table Brian. I like the different woods for the draw fronts.

The Incra fence is also a sweet setup.
Dave

Nice looking outfeed table! How wide/deep (front to back) is that fence? Yours looks to be at least a foot longer than my Incra fence.
