Watch the Upgrades to this Outfeed Table: • Folding Outfeed Table ...
In this woodworking video, I show you how to build an innovative outfeed table for your table saw.
Most table saws will benefit from a few accessories to make them safer and more convenient to use, like for wood to feed out the back of the saw, like a roller type stand, or even better, a outfeed table which is what I am building today, with some heavy duty, folding shelf brackets.

Finally! A mounting idea that won't interfere with parts of my particular table saw! Excellent idea.

@jgriff19861947 6 лет назад

I'am still amazed at how much you help people and they still give you a thumb down for your time and very good work

@knecht105 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@DIYMontreal 6 лет назад

Finally something we can get in Canada that's not available in the US! This is awesome Colin, I'm in the exact same situation with limited space. This project is next on my list!

@knecht105 6 лет назад

@1964bobcat 6 лет назад

Good idea. Suggestion, through the out feed table you can drill a hole to put your finger through to release the catch of the bracket

@jonathanpopp3529 6 лет назад

Great idea about placing holes to reach the release buttons. I have similar brackets for my rolling miter stand and never thought of placing holes to make it easier to reach them, thank you!

Thanks a bunch. I just got my brackets too. I just have a table saw, so I just might go one step further and build a cabinet for it and integrate it into the design.

IKEA used to sell wall mount table (white) that has very similar brackets.

@geoffreymaddison6434 5 лет назад

Neat, I have only a small table saw, from a local store. It has thin metal side extensions, in order to give me more room, garage isn't too wide, I put these sides on hinges and prop them up with a couple of stays when needed. If I can find those brackets here in the UK, I will try your idea. Best regards Geoff Maddison.

@johncannata4703 6 лет назад

I did the same exact extension on my saw about 6 months ago, I found that hardware on Amazon, 2 for 18 dollars and change! You should check it out! They are really heavy duty!!

@knecht105 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

@manfrommars3486 6 лет назад

No table saw here but you just showed me the right hardware for a folding shelf I have to add in the kitchen! Maybe you might drill holes in the table in order to get to the unlocking lever with your fingers, without reaching them from the bottom.

@catfishcave379 4 года назад

It’s been awhile since you built this. Have you ever had the need for extending the miter slots into your out feed table?

@Motocicleiros Год назад

Great idea! I would make one for myself but unfortunately my saw is a cheapo construction site Stanley which fence "clamps" the front end of the table...

@kirill_gusev 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing Colin! Looks like a clever upgrade for garage-sized shop. Curious what size of bracket you recommend? Or anyone who already build this can share this please?

@lrbrad4d 3 месяца назад

I'm going with the 16" for more support at 440lbs.

@dwoodog 2 года назад

I can't help but think I would eventually lean on this, so I myself would add some fold down legs that sit against the saw, kinda like diagonal braces that fold down from the table that rest on the saw at a 45 degree angle. But I agree this is brilliant.

@kobra6335 5 лет назад

There's only one problem with your outfeed table. You can't use your miter gauge or a crosscut sled with it.

@GoRams-WR_DB-21 5 месяцев назад

Not for what he’s doing. The whole idea is for him to be more efficient for what he’s doing in his small space. Also, it helps create and spark ideas for others that watch the video. You know, kind of what you’re doing.

@dtwistrewind7361 5 лет назад

Nice job it looks as though it has a couple of different angles it can be locked in? It would make a nice comfortable angled surface for drawing up plans.

@bigjoe2458 2 года назад

Since you are using 3/4" plywood I think would have mounted the brackets a little closer to the sides of the plywood so I could release the brackets easier.

@NewbTactical 6 лет назад

They have similar brackets at home depot for like 18 bucks i assume that there not as heavy duty but for a weekend warrior i should be ok thanks for the idea Colin

@thomaslamb4569 6 лет назад

The brackets at Home Depot will support up to 880 lbs per pair (when installed properly - LOL).

@landonmarcia2143 Год назад

Hey Colin just wanted to say what a great detailed video building your folding outfeed table. I ended up replicating your idea and built one of my own. The only change I made was laminating all edges and top. You’re right about those brackets though, very heavy duty and more than strong enough to support anything I rip with my cabinet saw. Thx again Colin great work👍

@KepperKleen Год назад

Was it easy? I have to do it too, i don't want to buy one

@markallamong 6 лет назад

I'm looking to make one of these. Think I'll try to incorporate a router table insert so it can be dual purpose

@georgequalls5043 Год назад

I’m thinking you could make levers so you didn’t have to reach so far under the table to release the brackets.

@loupanella9632 4 года назад

Great idea!! I want to do this with mine. Sadly I have belt drive motor that sticks out the back. Maybe a cutout?

@bonzman17 4 года назад

Geez I’ve been looking at my saw all wrong, thinking how do I get it to match the level of an existing table and you just bring the table to the saw. I’ve got foldable shelf brackets in order now. Thanks!!!

@BrentDaughertyMe 3 года назад

How accurate and rigid do you find these for 90 degrees? I'd like to use these to support a lathe extension.

@squarelevelplumb 4 года назад

I did this to make a left side extension, and an outfeed table for my contractors saw and wow, what a world of difference. I used two of the same latching hinges, $29.00 per pair, Amazon, you used here. Because of the cabinet I also built, the outfeed is about an inch below the saw table but the left side extension is dead on. Thanks for the idea. johnny

@rogerswartz790 5 лет назад

This is the Simplist build I've seen for an outfeed table. It's great

@carlosquintero697 5 лет назад

Hey thank you for the videos. I really love your simplicity of explanations and demeanor. Question, what kind of fence is that on your table saw? How has your experience been with it?

@aaudain1 6 лет назад

You idea is awesome, very helpful hint, wish there is away for me to do somthing with my table saw, it's so small craftsman 10"

@franklanders7224 5 лет назад

Anthony, I don't know if you have a cabinet, contractor, or job site saw, but I just completed this project for my Dewalt DW744 job site saw. I had nothing to mount the folding table to, so I had to build a cabinet for it to sit on and attached the folding table to the cabinet. Hope this gives you some ideas around your problem if you haven't already solved it. I have pictures if you are interested in how I did it. epsanto2@comcast.net

@oldmanpottering 6 лет назад

Great idea Colin, once again simple and effective projects delivered in your easy going style, appreciate all your efforts 👍

@End-i 5 лет назад

Great idea! I installed them on a kitchen island, but they won't fold completely because I failed at installing them parallel and/or fully straight. Any tip to fix them to perfection?

@GodsMan500 5 лет назад

Remove the brackets, and squirt some wood glue into the holes in the wood and then jam as many toothpicks or dowels as you can to fill in the holes with a combination of wood and glue. Let dry thoroughly overnight, sand down the filled holes to flat, and re-drill more carefully with a level this time.

@johnthompson6656 4 года назад

Are you planning on extending your miter slots into the outfeed table ? I have done that so my crosscut sled continues to track straight. I have a Delta contractors saw so I have to fold motor under stand to fold down table.

@gmpsandw 6 лет назад

Go to Amazon put in 4 position folding brackets into the search & there are a bunch for much less. Great idea though!

@Rongoff1 6 лет назад

@craigslist04 6 лет назад

Home Depot has Knape & Vogt 16 in. Heavy Duty Folding Shelf Bracket in White. Adjustable in 4 positions: 90, 80, 70 and 0 degrees. $18.98 each, sold individually.

@ThekiBoran 5 лет назад

Those Rigid stands are awesome. There's a pin on the underside that can make it flat/unmoveable or it can pivot quite a bit. Also, on a jobsite, if you have to rip a 16' board you can set up one behind the saw to support the infeed side and one in front to support the outfeed side. The first time I saw one of those I was amazed that I hadn't seen these sooner. How many times have installers had to have help to simply rip a board? Billions and billions of times. Now it's a one-man operation.

@XJWill1 6 лет назад

I cannot tell how much lower you made the surface of the outfeed table below the table saw surface, but unless it is more than 3/8-in, you are going to need to route a cutout in the plywood for miter bars on sleds that go past the end of the table.

@HBSuccess 6 лет назад

You can see the bottom edge of the slots at the back of the saw, so pretty obvious it's below them. Colin has been woodworking for 40-50 yrs - pretty sure he already realizes this about his table saw.

@XJWill1 6 лет назад

No, it is NOT below them. You are viewing the tabletop from an elevated position and there is about 1-in gap between the saw table and the outfeed table, so it is impossible to tell from that viewpoint which is higher. But Colin says on the web project page that the outfeed table is 1/16-in lower than the top of the saw table. Since miter slots are 3/8-in deep, that means that the outfeed table is about 5/16-in ABOVE the bottom of the miter slot.

@chrisnelson5160 5 лет назад

Typically when I use my outfeed table, I am ripping long pieces to size. The only time I use my miter slots is when crosscutting material, so I have no need for the outfeed table and leave it down. Colin might be operating his in the same way...…...

@duckmcnutty 5 лет назад

5:04, he says he wants it to be slightly lower.

@alext9067 5 лет назад

@@HBSuccess That's a rude remark.

@harrypowers9412 6 лет назад

BTW; another option for those on a limited budget (like me) would be the Rockler “Metal Drop Leaf Support” #30006 in place of that pricey Canadian bracket-admittedly not as good though.

@seanhenry744 5 лет назад

Awesome idea! But the brackets are $73 in Canada, ouch!

@randywright7933 6 лет назад

Hey Colin what size is your shop? Love the videos btw

@elfpimp1 4 года назад

Cool idea. If but for the motor driving the belt on my old craftsman table saw, I'd make this asap!! 😆

@XJWill1 6 лет назад

Finding a way to mount the brackets is more difficult for a contractor saw, as compared to Colin's cabinet saw. The problem is that most contractor saws do not have a vertical flat surface (also many of them have a motor hanging out the back). Has anyone mounted brackets like these to a contractor saw? If so, can you post a link to pictures or a video? The only secure mounting method I can think of would need a couple 2x4's on each side of the saw. One mounted to the underside of the saw table and protruding about a foot out the back, and another mounted lower, near the bottom of the saw enclosure or the top of the saw stand, again protruding a foot out the back. Then an upright could be mounted to those 2x4's, and the bracket installed on the upright. The extra foot of protrusion is to clear the hanging motor.

@zz8352 6 лет назад

I built a table for my contractor saw to sit in. It has plenty of flat boards to mount something like this on. Of course, then the whole thing would tip over, since it weighs like 50lbs vs the hundreds a cabinet or hybrid tablesaw weighs.

@xtremepowerpaul 5 лет назад

"Drill a pilot hole" That's the way to say it. English is not my language and I always get confused when woodworkers say pre-drill, which I think is impossible, since you can't pre-do something. You just do something. Same thing when people say in english things like seven times smaller instead of using fractions. Things can't be x times smaller than themselves. Great video. I need to make an outfeed table for my delta 36-725. Thanks.

@elijahmcstotts2871 4 года назад

Just a theory about why we say "7 times smaller" instead of using fractions is because a large majority of us (most woodworkers not included) don't know how to use fractions...

@buschwacker3254 7 месяцев назад

This is a great idea! Does the outfeed table sit flush with the saw top or is it flush with the bottom of the miter slots? During the build, it seemed like the former but the finished product looks like the latter...

@nickkline6956 5 лет назад

$52.90 for the brackets?! There are much cheaper options out there for folding brackets.

@boblittle2529 3 месяца назад

I like this quite a bit. Especially since the back rail for supporting the fence on your saw is made of angle iron as does mine. Other solutions I have seen depend on that support being made of square tube steel which have a bottom surface that can be drilled so as not to interfere with the travel of the fence. Despite the cost of the brackets, I'll be doing this build.

@geraldpatrick9463 3 года назад

I did a quick internet search and found several less expensive options for the folding bracket. $52 is a bit spendy for a weekend warrior.

@larryprice2694 8 месяцев назад

Great idea and a great video, couldn't wait to put this on my saw. I have tried several times to come up with an idea for this but nothing ever worked very well. I have a job site ridgid saw that folds up to move like a hand truck. The lower base is plastic and the attachment points are at a 30 deg horizontal angle with a 15 deg vertical angle. Never the less, through trial and effort I got the brackets made and for additional stability bolted them to the metal table as well. Cut the miter extensions and added your paddle release mechanism. I couldn't be more pleased. I can still fold the saw and I added a magnet to keep the table from rocking while moving. Thank you sir.

Hi Colin how big is your plywood. A 16 bracket how wide can you go with the plywood.
