Folding Outfeed Table

Not as pretty as your usual work but it looks like a winner just the same..nicely done mate.

Looks like a good design Charlie. Maybe you could get some bubinga from Kent or Purple heart from Larry as an accent.

I forgot to post this one showing how the legs are attached with folding hardware.

Cool were do yo get those brackets Charlie?

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Jim, I got them at Woodworkers Supply.

They lock in both the folded and extended position. They have a little play in them, but fine for this purpose.

Thanks Charlie

Very creative… looks like a job well done! I have an outfeed table on my saw, but use a pipe into a thread pipe flange connected to the underside of the outfeed table (I have to unscrew it each time I take the table down and its held in place by spring clips on the underside of the table). I think I’ll replace it with your legs/hinges. What was the part number of the hinge and what size leg?

Thanks!

Hi Charlie;

Due to my other business, I just can’t make myself say I like it. LOL

Nice work though.

Charile,
Well done and looks very functional. I just bought this saw and was looking into making something like this after watching Todd’s video cast last night. Thanks for sharing!

Here is the link directly to the leg hinges. They fit 1 1/2” legs.

Lee, I don’t think you’ll lose any business over this post. LOL!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Great job Charlie. Looks very functional and I have to agree. Lee won’t lose any business over this post…..........LOL

Charlie – is the car’s hood level with the outfeed table for extra long boards? gotta be careful with the windsheild though – I heard that glass is prone to breakage.

looks bery beefy outfeed table – I like how you extended the hinge away from the table to address the hanging motor in the back – most people seem to be fighting this one over.

That’s great Charlie!!

PurpLev,

Luckily, we own four cars of various sizes. That way I can pull whichever one is most appropriate for the project at hand into the driveway. If I’m cutting parts that need to be transported somewhere, I just back in the Highlander and rip ‘em right into the cargo area. :-)

To me, putting the hinge behind the motor seemed like a no brainer. What stymied me for a while is that I kept trying to think of ways to attach the outfeed table to the saw table. Then it finally hit me to build it out from the stand . Duh!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Looks great Charlie, Very nice prototype, Now you need some maple, walnut and cherry and get original one built. Dont forget those beautiful inlays.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Very nice. I am looking to build one myself and some of your design may work for what I am thinking of doing. Thanks for sharing.

Good job Charlie….as always.

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

Everything is self-explanatory except the “wing step” in the third picture. Is that so you can climb up onto the saw? :D

CharlieM1958,
Nice job on the outfeed table and the new jig. Looks like both should serve you well. Would you please just round the corners of the outfeed table with a little 220 grit paper so as to relieve a little stress on my part?

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

That little doohickey has two purposes… 1)It is attached to the angle iron and provides another surface to attach the brace to, and 2) It calms my fear of exposed sharp metal corners. :-)

Very nice solution! Looks very functional.
Favorited to copy in the future.
Thx for sharing.

Charlie, this looks pretty good and should make your saw much easier and safer to work with. I put the same brackets on my folding table as well and they are well worth the money, imho.

Charlie: a great looking outfeed table. Nice construction.

Charlie thats a good looking out feed table you have there

-- cut it saw it scrap it

Another job well done. With my small shop, I had to do something very similar. I know you will get a lot of use from it. Again, well done Charlie.

-- Brad, Oregon- Wood, it's what's for dinner.

Good solution Charlie, I think you have just solve a problem for me. I need to make an outfeed for my planer. Thanks. Roz

Just ran across this, Charlie. Good design. It could use some Bubinga though. (Thanks Jim)

Thanks for the design Charlie… i’ll be borrowing your idea for my Rigid 3650.

I like it and I’m going to use it. Thanks

Very cool, I have the same saw, and planed on building one I saw on the show Woodsmith Shop. This one attached via a U channnel on the saw with leg on hinges that you removed and stored away. I like yours better with it just folding down. Nice work.
