Outfeed Table

That 3/4” top won’t take to kindly to bench dogs, but I DO plan on putting one or two Record-style vises in reinforced areas. I picture this doubling as an assembly and (as Shannon the Renaissance Woodworker said) a general stuff collector. Right now, I’m just happy that I’ve got a place for stuff to go coming out of the back of the saw.

I hope this works well for you. I made a similar table several years ago to go behind my Grizzly saw. I use it for a workbench as much as a storage area and a table saw table. The only trouble I have had is that it moves with the seasons differently than my table saw, and so there are times that the top is not flush and the grooves don’t line up with the miter gauge. I have a horrible floor in my shop, one that is broken up and cracked from not putting in wire or rebar back in the early 1960’s when the garage was built (not by me). It’s hard to say whether it is the floor movement, or the table’s wood movement that causes the issues. I bolted it to the back rail of the table saw fence, and that stopped a lot of the issues….....until I really need it to line up, and then it has moved and won’t.

Nice project,
Mark

Looking at that last picture, I thought, “Is his shop in a GYM?” Turns out, the answer is yes!

Nice design and finish…good job.

Nice table should store mant tools on it LOL

Nice, Add a bottom shelf and you will have a bunch of storage to go along with it.

Mark, I purposefully left a bit of clearance between the saw top and the outfeed table to allow for some changes. Also, the miter gauge slots are a little wider for the same reason.

JJohnston, I guess it looks that way. It’s a multifunction building that also includes equipment storage and maintenance spaces. The woodshop is the back half, about 30×40.

Deke, yes, it’s a SawStop. I did without a tablesaw for several years, and decided to go for it. The specs are the same as for the medium cabinet saw, but the price is a good bit less. I don’t begrudge them a single penny! I’ll be doing a review sometime in the future after I’ve lived with it for a bit.

Very nice. It’s amazing how such simple things can be so valuable in the shop.
