Man that is a nice set up, why can’t I be that clean?

-- Ken, "Everyday above ground is a good day!"

I forgot to mention that I’ve been working on this workshop for a year and a half. I started from scratch. It definitely hasn’t gone quickly!

Thanks for the kind words :)

That’s Awesome, being a fellow Garage/workshop owner the only way I can get my car inside is piece by piece. Very ingenious, I’m afraid if garage/workshop got that clean my wife would start putting her stuff in there, lessening the space for all my junk and making it harder to store my finished projects before I install them. Truly a beautiful setup

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

Very cool.

Nice job, thanks for sharing.

very well designed, the undertable router box is on my to do list

-- bowtie,.....jus passin thru.... cccedar.com

very smart design and nicely executed….

two thoughts for you…

1. How warm is your router getting? Keep an eye on it and if need be, drill some holes in the side of the box to let a little extra air flow across it. I doubt you’ll miss the one or two cfm you lose.

2. I did a mobile worksation on casters (I’ll write it up and post it some day) and over time it sagged in the middle and my work surfaces were no longer flat. I just recently added a pair of leveling casters in the middle and have jacked up the mid section back to it’s original plane. An added benefit was that the work station no longer relies on the caster locks to stay put. Before I used the leveling casters, I fabricated some wedge blocks and jacked it up that way…. but this was not convenient and didn’t work as well.

-- Matt, Pine is fine, but Oak's no joke!

That is super nice! Being able to move the equipment is a big bonus. Shop operators always need space for bigger projects. I enjoy the functionality of your combo table. Great job.

Very nice. I like the foldable outfeed table

Very clever set up. One question, can you explain the cover over the box ( switch ) by the table saw and the switch by the router. I assume the one on the table saw is to turn it off with your knee?

You guessed it. Both of them are shut-offs. The one on the left simply pushes the off button for the table saw. The one on the right is a little different. I used a regular wall switch for the receptacle in the router box, so the shut-off paddle has a ramp that pushes the switch down when pressed. It’s just a block of wood glued onto the inside of the paddle at an angle. This isn’t the best solution, but it works and it was free :)

Wow what a fantastic project… just what I’ve been looking for, I will start one as soon as I get home. I have a Porter Table jobsite table saw and have wanted to make something like this. Do you have specifications for the fence set up for the table saw as well as the router?

I did see your pics – great job on documenting- any other details would really help me make one too …
thanx
