With the addition of the saw to my shop I needed to add on some version of an outfeed table. Paul posted an outfeed table that looked like it would work in my situation. We both used this source as a starting point for the table. With my version I built it as two separate torsion boxes. The top layer of both boxes is mdf with covered with laminate. The torsion boxes were trimmed with cherry and I used 8/4 maple for the legs. The legs are attached to the fold down outfeed table with these brackets.
The fold down portion of the table does have to sit on the shop floor in order to (1) be long enough to support a full sheet of plywood and (2) to clear the dust collector when it is not needed. However, I must add a confession here. In constructing the fold down portion I forgot to take into account the width added by the cherry banding so it is actually 1.5 inches wider than planned but this “mistake” does enable the table to clear the dust collection hose. As I have of said there are no mistakes in woodworking- only opportunities to add more details.
Thanks for looking. As always, any and all comments are appreciated.

Very ingenius mistake…....I mean design. You can leave the large portion down to cut small and medium size pieces save space but the large extension is readily avalible to cut long pieces or sheet goods.

Should be very functional and it looks great. The torsion box design should keep it true for many years nicely done

Great design, I like the way it folds down but is securely attached to the table saw mobile base, and it looks nice! I have to admit..I have serious table saw envy when I look at your saw! Isn’t that the 11th commandment “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors table saw”?

Can’t go wrong with a sawstop. the outfeed table looks real nice. you did a good job. looks like you put a poly finish on it? makes me want to put a finish on mine

Screwge, yes I put a poly finish on it even though it is simply “shop furniture”. I just happen to like the look it gives to the piece. It really does not add to the functionality of the table but it simply gives the table a finished look.

looks like a well researched table saw any tips on what to incorporate in building a table saw from my dads older yet usable carpenter table the table is very good though the innards and frame are kinda bent and rusty. i can take pictures on next i visit him (weekly) mostly guitar bodies it has a place for a band saw blade though i am not sure.
