I like that this is removable so it won't get in the way when it's not needed. I have the DWE7485, and it's miniscule infeed makes some things tricky. But I didn't want to attach something that would make it hard to access the front controls. This looks like a great compromise!
Just ordered this saw with the stand for 300. Don’t plan on using the stand much rather I’d like to build something g similar to what you have done. New to this all and my primary concern between this and the 10” dewalt was the in feed . Thanks for the information
this was a great idea! i have the 7491 and built a mobile cart for it...should be able to add this infeed piece to make it more versatile. thanks for the clear video...
Great video. I have the same saw and am building my infeed exactly like yours. I like it that you can still operate the fence with this design. A simple solution that works! Keep at it.
Found your channel and love it! I like that you are using the dewalt jobsite saw... too many channels on RU-vid with guys and their expensive big saws! Like you I do mine in the garage
Great idea and execution! I'm excited to stumble on your channel because 1) it looks like you've got a lot of helpful content, and B) I'm also in the Chicago burbs (Oak Park) and have a new(ish) youtube channel built around a bench I made. We're like twins, only you're better looking!
Nice to meet you neighbor! If I'm the better-looking one, then I really feel sorry for you! haha! There are a few other folks like us that live in the area as well ith smaller channels. So we try to help each other out where we can. Thanks for checking out my channel!
@@TheSuburbanGarageWorkshop Yeah man, fair warning: I might try and organize some meet-up or collaboration or other such nonsense one of these days. It might just involve staring at walnut slabs while eating beefs and drinking Old Styles, but it's still something. You've been warned!
Wow great idea same situation with me I have been building your bench with a little modifications because I have a Milwaukee table saw and I was thinking of making a crosscut sled and found out it’s to big for the stabilizing great idea thank you now I can build my crosscut sled whatever size I need
Hey thanks for the ideas! Quick question, where did you find black melamine particle board? I can only find white pre-laminated, or black melamine sheets that cost 3x as much that need to be glued on
Add a dowel to each side of your infeed table and two holes on the work bench to locate the infeed table quickly and your not searching for the existing holes, just an idea.
You have a very good video and explain things really well. I have a 7491 and I don't have the ability currently to put my table saw into any kind of fixed Cabinetry. I'm trying to find a video that would let me put and in feed platform that is easily removable. My saw stays on the cart all the time because I have no room to really have it set up. I have to put my saw away every time I'm through using it. Even though I can't use your idea, I appreciate how will you explain it.
Very cool and this is exactly what I wanted 👍👍. But just one query about your two turning nobs, just wondering they will get loose over time as the wood threads will eventually get worn out. Maybe it’s better by using two insert screws and the turning nobs then screw into them…😂
Great video! Looking for the next modifications you intend to make! Any particular reason you didn't also cut an extended miter slot for the one to the right of the blade? Would make it compatible w/ a deeper miter sled if you ever need that in the future, too, no?
It could absolutely be done. But, In the years I used my saw, i've never used the right miter slot so I didnt spend the time route the other slot. On the infeed if you did that, then you would have to move the fence fully out of the way, then you couldnt use it for infeed support for when making rip cuts on the long boards against the fence.
Nice design and video. I have this same DeWalt saw and have a good out feed workbench based a heavily modified Paulk work bench but, of course, not having any in-feed it’s hard to use many of the jigs I’d like to make. I did make an in-feed addition which after many modifications seems to work ok but, it’s big, bulky, needs extra support and not always accurate for matching up to the miter slots. I believe I will use your design soon and appreciate your providing your simple but very workable design.
