Outfeed Table ad nauseum

Project by ChunkyC posted 48 days ago 607 views 1 time favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is my take on the outfeed table. The basic concept came from the Wood Whisper but I had to mod mine to work with a contractors style saw. Mine has a cantilever so that it can get up close and personal with the table saw while missing the motor hanging out the back.

I made the table from scraps hanging around so all of the grain is going the wrong the way. Oh well what’s a Chunk to do? The construction is a simple as it gets. It’s all cut on the t/s (except the top and shelf, cut with cir. saw) and assembled with screws, brads and glue.

Dims:
Top 48×48x3/4 MDF with laminate
Shelf 48×36x3/4 MDF
Legs are 4×34.5×3/4 ply (luan ply)

Punch List:
I need to remove the section where the blade guard / splitter sits so that the outfeed table will marry up iwth the t/s table.
Route miter gauge slots in the top. (oops almost forgot this one)
Add levelers and level.
Sand and finish

I also have the t/s extension ready but I don’t have 7/16-20 bolts. Why would you put fine threads on the t/s? grr. I’ll see if I can find something locally if not I’ll have to get some from McMaster-Carr.

All and all not a bad way to spend a cold Sunday. Now if I would have only clean the house …

Thanks -

-- Chunk

That looks good Chunk.

It’s funny that you made a variation of Marc’s table and he made a variation of Norm’s and when I build one it will be a variation of yours.

Good job (don’t forget those miter slots again).

Hey ChunkC; That table outta do the job. A good outfeed is important for large panels,as you know.

You’ll get ‘er finished—just take your time. No hurry. Don’t want to forget something important !!

I think it still beats being called “fatty”

Wow, 4×4, nice size outfeed/assembly, tool collection/workbench table. Wish I room for this. I’d also add wheels vs levelers. There’s a ton of space under the table top, how do you plan to use it?

Great table, dont run into my worst problem. I tend to cover up the outfeed with other junk or pieces of the project. Good work, BTKS

Thanks for the comments all.

All be using the space under the outfeed table for tool storage. I’ve already put my nailer, sander, etc under the table.

The table will definitely be used for more than just an outfeed table. I’ll also double as an assembly table of sorts.

Thats a nice table.
When I made mine, I mounted it to the saw (Sears contractor type also) and did not cut enough clearance in the supprot for the motor. Now I can only tilt to about 35 to 40 deg. Gotta fix that some day.

bobthebuilder647: I here you loud and clear! I checked the top of the motor to the table when I assembled the table and remember there not being much clearance there at all. I’m concerned about that too, hence the reason I made a free standing version. Just pull the table back if needed. Also, I seldom ever tip the blade anyway.

I still need to measure what that distance is from the top of the table to the top of the motor. I have the back all taped up with blue tape and cardboard to help with dust collection.
