Outfeed Table for Delta Contractor's Saw

Nice! I don’t really have enough space to put a permanent outfeed table on my saw. :(

Man you really engineered it. You could stand on that out feed table. Good job.

Nice outfeed table.

That is a great saw (Delta 34-444 right?). I had the same saw also purchased in 1994 and sold it this last weekend as I replaced it with a cabinet saw. I built lots of nice pieces with that saw. Also had the link belt. I also would recommend the PALS alignment system – inexpensive and makes quick work of alignment. I had a Beismeyer fece on mine and a shop made router table to the right of the blade.

Delta doesn’t make them like this anymore. Seeing these photos made me miss that saw…

I have a similar Delta contractor saw. Mine actually goes all the way back to 1986, but it looks like the same saw. Mine does a great job. Like the previous poster, I built my own router table. Mine is on the left like yours. I also built an extension table on the right from Melamine. I just added an outfeed table to mine, but I made it all out of wood and put legs under it to support. I made my outfeed table wider so that it can serve for outfeed from my router table also.

I just purchased this same Delta saw off of craigslist, I love the saw but the dust collection leaves much to be desired! I moved the saw close to the dust collector and still get big piles of sawdust under the table and it shoots chips and dust everywhere. That is my only beef with this tool. Any sugggestions?

Did you close up the bottom? I had a dust collection baffle on the bottom that connected to a 4” DC hose. Even though the back was still open, it caught maybe 75% of the saw dust.

At one time I used it to cut down large MDF panels and did not need to tilt to I closed up the back. That stopped 95% of the dust off of the back and bottom.

I have the Delta 34-444 also. I purchased it in 1995 with a 30” Unifence and mobile base. Just a couple years ago I luckily stumbled across a new in the box Delta 50-390 outfeed table hardware kit that was made for the saw, it installs and detaches from the saw easily and quickly, no tools required. Dust collection for the saw I have pefected, and without interfearance during blade tilting . The power switch I have also upgraded to a large paddle switch and wired it fror 230V. I’ll probably never sell this saw, iit has performed very well over the years. Check it out.
