+1 on Jim Becker's table.
Scott Vroom
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
I built an outfeed table the same as April Wilkerson, only i built it 15 years ago! Anyway it worked well, but I found it a pain to put up and down. When I sold that saw it went with it. On my new saw i purchased an HTC roller outfeed table. Yes it was expensive, but i consider it money well spent. If I switched saws again I would go the HTC route again.
Great ideas.
I thought I had researched this before.
Am leaning toward something cantilever off saw-I have the ICS, super heavy. So am not concerned about tipping.
Along w an uneven floor; the ability to move w table deployed, and not to have to adjust the legs would be great.
So, now, the deal is simplifying the support; let me see if I can find the full "folding support" article in Glenn's post in Shop Notes.

Can't get a support much simpler than this (like a french cleat, just lift the table up to remove the support arm): I suppose you could put a hinge at each end and in the middle so it stays fixed to the saw. I can put my full 175 pounds of weight at the end of the table and it just barely starts to tip my Grizzly 1023.

NOW you tell me...
This is the exact support I had in mind.
Hinges would be cool, but just the ability to take the support out and hang it on the cabinet is simpler.
Right now, am thinking of a horizontal across the two back mobile base wheel coverings-secure that horizontal, to anchor the support arm on.
Have an aversion to drilling holes in things that I might regret later.
