Table Saw Stand and Outfeed Table

Outfeed tables
are critically important to table saw safety (see my Table Saw Safety
video). I built a stand for my table
saw and attached an outfeed table to it.
The entire saw stand and outfeed table are one unit. Casters allow for easy movement of the
whole thing and there is a way to lift the front casters off the floor to
make it stationary. The outfeed table
is composed of a stationary part and a dropdown leaf which can be lowered to
allow room for me to park my car. When
the leaf is raised, an eight-foot workpiece can be run through the saw and be
supported on the outfeed side of the saw.
Very safe!! Here is a view
from under the outfeed table showing how the small stationary table is
supported by two 1x4’s from the base of the table saw stand. Also, note the metal bar that stabilizes at
the front of the table which is attached to the back of the table saw table
(in the red circle – there is another one you can’t see on the other side of
the left 1x4). |
