I just finished a new T-Track/Outfeed/Assembly table for my tablesaw.
I have a small shop, and my old outfeed table was 20 years old and very warped.
Ideas from many different t-track tables were incorporated into my table.
I look forward to having a flat table for assembly & clamping!

The table is 48” x 66” with five t-tracks going the length of the table, with 1 track horizontally.
It slides up to the back of my Unisaw and the top is about 1/16” below the tablesaw. The table is perfectly level side-to-side and end-for-end.

Top
Table is 2-1/4” thick – 2 sheets of MDF and 1 sheet of 4x8 Baltic Birch – It makes the table very, very heavy.

Frame

Frame is made from Birch & Cherry – some shorts and other less-desirable, less-pretty looking boards, but very solid. I purchased plans from King’s Fine Woodworking – I used his shear-web frame design concept and adapted to my size.

Casters
The casters are Woodriver Machine-Leveling Casters
Rated for 1,320 lbs. They work great. The table moves at the flick of a hand when up on the wheels, but does not move when the feet are lowered and wheels are up

Border

I used Peruvian Walnut for the border around 3 sides of the table. T-tracks are embedded along each of the 3 sides so items can be clamped vertically on the faces of the table. I used about 6 coats of hand-rubbed GF Arm-R-Seal to “pop” the Walnut and keep glue from sticking.

I have always appreciated when someone finishes a project and shares construction details & pictures with people here on SMC.
If people are interested, I can do more detailed writeups on construction techniques.

Any questions, let me know!
