Table Saw Mobile Workstation

Project by Greg Wurst posted 548 days ago 4015 views 35 times favorited 19 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Initially inspired by this project:

http://lumberjocks.com/projects/6885

I decided to build one of my own to fit under my outfeed table. It also has a router table insert and downdraft sanding dust collector. I have an entire blog series on its construction you can view here:

Sketchup files and a material list can be downloaded here:

A great addition and highly recommended for any shop, space-constrained or otherwise.

Nice project. You have added a nice cabinet to your shop that is both versatile and functional.

Well done.

That is a nice cabinet. I like the fact that you were able in integrate a router insert, downdraft table and tablesaw all into one space. I have a small workspace and try to consolidate as much as possible. Great Job!

Great job….I believe that I have a similar vintage saw in my garage with all the chrome knobs , etc. on it that I hope to make functional someday soon….it’s only been waiting about four years so far !!! L O L

I added a PALS system to the saw with upgraded pulleys and a link belt. I also replaced the fence. I’ve got it aligned with the miter slots and with the zero clearance inserts it makes pretty-good cuts. Considering how much I spent upgrading it compared to what I paid for it ($75), I probably should have just bought another saw! ;)

I created the plans myself. It is made from 3/4” birch ply and 3/4” and 1/2” MDF. You can get the plans from the last post in my blog on its construction:

This is one of the many many many many things I have planned for my next shop, when and if I ever move that is. I was reading the “workshop” issue of Wood magazine the other day, and there’s a guy that made something like this, but the odd thing was that he made t for a cabinet saw. For those of you who know what I’m talking about, is the saw mounted on the base, or is it sitting on the floor with the base around it?

Anyways, I love how yours came out, if you dont mind me asking, how many sheets of good did you end up using?

I used 1 sheet of 3/4” MDF, 2 sheets of 3/4” birch ply, 1 sheet of 1/2” MDF, and a 2×2 sheet of 1/2” MDF and a 2×2 sheet of 3/4” birch ply. You can see the details in my blog on the construction.

Wow, I may have to use this as an inspiration. I’ve been kicking around an outfeed table project and may have to do this at the same time!
