A handful of people have asked me about building a similar outfeed table like mine and wondered how I supported the table/panel saw. Instead of trying to describe the mechanism, I thought I’d post a short video of my design (in action), that I used on my Outfeed Table and now on my Wall Mounted Panel Saw.
Here's my Wall Mounted Panel Saw
To operate, I simply lift the table/panel to lock it into place and when I want to fold it down, I lift slightly on the table/panel and push up on the folding leg and it collapses. I hope the video along with the pics below allow you to design your own.

I recently saw your original post. I am impressed with the apparent simplicity of your design. I have a new to me, 70’s era C’man contractors saw that is in need of a stowable outfeed table. Your design WILL BE incorporated into my build. I will, of course give credit where credit is due.
Thank you, for taking the effort to video & post this and for the original posting as well.

Way to go Ted. I also remember checking out your earlier post on this outfeed table. What a nice design.

Thanks barecycles and DIYaholic.
@DIY – Let me know if I can help in your design. Finding mounting locations on the saw is the most difficult part of the outfeed table.
