    I should add that for a saw that is frequently moved, having the outfeed table hinged to & fully supported by the saw means that it's always perfectly coplanar with the saw table. No adjusting for height or level is needed. the outfeed extension that I have, but only use occasionally, does have an adjustable leg at the far end.

    That was a benefit of my fold down outfeed table when I had the cabinet saw years ago....especially with an unevenly sloped floor that often comes with a "repurposed garage building" as a shop.

    I have a two foot table attached to my saw. Whenever I need more out feed, I have a top that fits on my Bora Centipede. When I don’t need it, it is out of the way.

    Shops too small, so folding.

    My out-feed table is mobile when needed. It has heavy duty casters with leveling feet that screw down and lift the wheels off the ground when stationary. Most of my tools are on mobile bases. The past few years, we've seen our share of tornado's and hail storms. I wanted the option to be able to move my tools and table over enough to be able to get a vehicle inside my shop during one of these events.

    Hi Terry, that is what I am thinking too. How is the top attached to the base since it appears you have a useable drawer immediately underneath?

    I have one similar to Terry's. It sits on casters and can be used in portrait or landscape mode, depending upon how much out feed support I need.

    The top is a Torsion box, sitting on 4 adjustable feet, that sit on the cabinet legs/corners. I can fine tune the height or the top, so if I move it, it takes a minute of two to get it back to the necessary height.

    In normal use, I clamp the outfeed table to the rear saw rail, so it's rock solid, but again, only takes a minute to back these out and transition the table.



    You can see the small holes in the top that give access to the adjustable feet.

    This is without the top, the adjustable feet sit on the cabinet corner posts.

    Nice Bob, I noticed you had a plywood bottom that the casters are attached to. Is there support in the middle and if not how do you prevent sagging? Thanks and Merry Christmas.

    Mobile, fer sure.

    Nothing special, but I can roll it out to the truck to roll sheets of ply back to the saw with it.
