Nice job Bob.

What is the distance from the trailing end of the saw blade and the back end of your outfeed table? 30-36”?

I like your idea of using UHMW to line your router fence (I must remember this one).

Aren’t those switches great? They are perfect for a router table. I used one of these on a router table and I love it. No more fussing under the table to find the switch on the router’s body, and they are cheap and easy to find.

PS: The chips must “roll” off easily on the router table !!! (nice too)

Best,

Serge

Nice addition to your saw. Looks great too!

Nice looking tables but I have a question.

I also have a Ridgid 3650 and built an outfeed table similar to yours. I bolted the outfeed table supports to the side of the cabinet similar to yours. When I did this, I could not tilt the blade to 45 degrees because the motor would tilt up and hit the outfeed support. I re-engineered and moved my supports to the side of the extension tables to solve my problem.

My question is: When you tilt the saw to 45 degrees do you hit the outfeed table supports?

I like the way you mounted it!! Now I have inspiration!! Thanks Bob!!

Nice extension.I also built mine similar to yours but had to butcher it up a little for splitter and blade guard to work.I take it you don’t use your guard anymore.

I have the same saw Bob and IMHO this is perfect. Already added to my favorites. Anymore details, pics or plans would be great.

Hi Bob,

I am a first time poster here. I am really interested in your outfeed set up. I have a Ridgid R4511 granite top. (just had the recall arbor but in today) I need to figure out an outfeed table for mine and this is of interest, plus I have limited space so your set up is great.

Did you bolt just to the cabinet for the support or am I missing something?

Love that router table idea, I was just sitting down to figure that out, saved me a ton of time.

Might have to get back to you this weekend with more questions.

Hey Bob- I like the router table in the saw wing. I might just go get one ;-)

I really like this design. I think I’ll do that for my TS-3650.

Nice outfeed table!
