Your outfeed table looks good to me. I"m 76yrs old now, stopped woodworking about 3 yrs ago after about 40plus years. Now I watch youtube videos about woodworking. I"m so glad to see all the young people like you and others doing woodworking. It such a rewarding pastime.
I’ve been saving for a new table saw , and there are a few I like better that the saw stop but I just can’t get over the safety aspect of the SS. So hopefully in the near future I will have one sitting in my shop. Congrats on the new machine man ,I’m sure it will be night and day difference from the old one.
Hi, Michael. Is your Sawstop 36" or 52"? And I'm curious about your use, on this and other projects, of 1/4" melamine taped to plywood rather than going with 3/4" melamine. Is this a matter of achieving better rigidity, or is it just cheaper to go this route? Love your videos!
After having this for a year, do you wish that you had made the outfeed table so that it could fold down? I love the simplicity, just curious if you find yourself tight in space with it fixed in place.
Just seen your video on out feed table, great job my friend. I have an old ryobi table saw and have made a larger top. I just wish I could make a nice secure fence for the wood top. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve
Nice out-feed table! You can stiffen up that free corner by adding a tall rib on the under side. Make it even sturdier by tying the rib into the 2x4 mounting rail that you put on the long edge of your table.
That looks awesome. Also love the edit. My first thought as well was that far right corner’s stability, just for really heavy material, but you could always just cut a piece of scrap wood to wedge under there on the fly if need be. Nice work!
Hello I gave you a a Thumbs up. That said I can’t believe you drove those side mount bolts in with a Wood Mallet...? And you Chocked up on the handle like you were a novice user... Any way I am Jealous of your New Saw... I am a Happy for you... Greg
Is there anything on the saw that prevents extending the out-feed table to the full width of the saw table? I'm short on space and this has me thinking it could double as a light-duty workbench. Thanks!
Great job - black contiboard edged with what looked like oak? looks real nice. (Nice job also with the music, takes me back when I was a 1970's porn star!! - I wish :-)
Nice table Michael. I'm getting ready to build an outfeed table for my PM table saw. The plans call for phenolic plywood which is proving nearly impossible to find. What is the black panel you used in your outfeed table? Does it have a plywood core or is it some sort of fiber board? Thanks for your video, time and inspiration. I think I'll "wrap" my table now that I've seen yours. Cheers.
Wondering the same thing....I think it’s and MDF core with black on both sides. I can find it in white but not black....love the black with the saw....raising the question again hoping he sees.
I started by watching your 3 legged stool video and I do wish you would go back and add narration to all your videos. You have some very cool ideas and I'd I'd purchased the plans if I could follow along to your plans with video while following the plans to build.
Looks awesome, so good to have an outfeed table so you don't have to worry about stuff falling off the back side. This is not a criticism, because I would have done the same exact thing and then after thought "oh, you know what i could have done?". So maybe it will help the next person... At around :50 you cut down your material and then at around 2:00 you built up a surface to nail the guides into and prevent chip out when you cut the miter slots. If you had the left the table oversized initially you could have nailed the guides directly to it and just routed it and then cut it down to size and the nail holes and any chip out on the edges would be cut off. Seriously though, I enjoyed the video and the end product looks slick.
Awesome design, this is exactly what I need to do with my new SawStop. I particularly want an outfeed table without legs (my garage floor is very uneven so the fewer legs to level the better. Great to know that the flex on that inside corner isn't too severe - at least good enough for outfeed support. I love it!
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ru-vid.comUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
Ok, it taken me 8 months to get started on this project but the game is on! However, here are a few comments that ai have figured out that have slowed me down. 1.The first question I had involved the use of Double Sided Tape, why not Contact Cement Glue. Answer is the 1/4 Black Melamine has Melamine on both sides. Also, I didn't think that Double Sided Tape would provide 100% adhesion around the sides as well as the Router Cuts. Additionally, the Tapes Glue could get on a Saw's Blade or Router Bit, not good. 2. After researching the availability of Black Melamine, I found it at a supplier in town for $36.00, 4X8 Sheet, it has a MDF core. 3. Their 3/4 inch thick Black Melamine is Fiberboard and is one sided. I opted for the 1/4 because it is lighter, therefore easier to work with even though I have to glue it down to either plywood/MDF. 4. Titebond has a product that is made to glue Melamine to either MDF/Plywood, It called Titebond Melamine and is around $25,00/Gal or $5.00 for 6oz.
Nice job. I bought a SS recently and stumbled on your channel while trying to plan an outfeed table. Any reason why you didn't use the table you already made for that function? You mention on the video that you built it with the height of the saw in mind. I was figuring on making an assembly/outfeed table all-in-one. I did some research on casters were you can adjust the height pretty easily. In my small shop mobility is a necessity and real estate is tight.
Nice work. Why don’t you use a blade guard? You protect your eyes with safety glasses but you could do a much better job of saving your hands with the blade guard in place for almost all cuts on a table saw.
Very cool out feed table my Sawstop contractor saw (52") is currently still the boxes they came in 😟. Have 2 more days of work before I can put it together
nice build, got a TS injury 10 days ago got very lucky the saw was off long story short got 5 stitches no damage other than my ego. I will be getting a ST TS soon and will be buying your plans. Thanks for the vid.
I am following when you’re a lead with building something based on your design for my saw stuff. Can you tell me how you want to about cutting the slots in the top of the thing for an extension to the Sawstop. I’m concerned about what size router bits you used and any other helpful information you may have. Thanks.
Excellent video quality and ingenuity on the build. Do you think if you went all the way across and and put a runner/brace on the right side of the saw it would completely preclude need for legs?
Hello Michael, I really enjoy your channel, and I really enjoy this build. I Purchased the plans from you, but had to make a few modifications due to the does collection blade guard system that came with myself Sawstop. I took some pictures of it but I didn’t know how to send them to you. My question is in regards to the plan and the 2 x 4 that you use, I’m curious why you did not cut it long enough to go all the way out to the left side of of the saw, up against the left piece of oak. It appears there is a gap there. Is that by design, and if so what was it for? Thanks again. Tim
Richard Schiess It’s not really needed. The center of gravity of a board won’t ever be in that corner. Also, I use that corner for my off cut bucket and trash can
Hey mate. At 01:34 you join like melamime and looks like mdf? Or particle board? May I ask why? I'm guessing you purchased thinner melamime and another substrate to make thicker stock? Awesome content BTW.
Hi Michael~! I just now found your channel and am an instant fan. I think that this idea for an outfeed is just what I need on my SawStop. Looking forward to more from you~! Thanks~!!
Hi Michael, very nice. I'm a newbie here, just bought a Sawstop contractor saw with the 36T-glide table/fence. Not my first table saw, I've had a cheap jobsite saw since the 90's - I've been an avid DIYer most of my life - but I'm not an accomplished carpenter. But I'm working on raising my game a little, hence the new saw to go with my new basement finishing project. So first of all, I'm totally jealous about the 3HP cabinet model you have. Nevertheless, my question mainly concerns dimensions. My shop space is pretty confined so I don't have an adjacent table to catch material on the outfeed. (1) What are the dimensions of this table you've made? (2) What would be your recommended dimensions for an outfeed table that had to be a "one and only?" And much thanks.
Hey Andy, Congrats on the new saw! You're going to love having that!! My out feed table is 18" long x 30" wide x 1.75" deep. I've been using it for a couple months now, and it's more than deep enough. For my old DeWalt job site saw (which you can see in my earlier videos like the Murphy Bar) I only added about 10" out feed to the back of it, and you'd be surprised how much difference that makes. The depth is really going to depend on what length of wood you rip. You want at least half the board on the table after it's exited the cut. If you make jewelry boxes, for instance, you might never need an out feed, but if you're building cabinets, you may want 6 ft off the back of the saw. I really like my current size, and I wouldn't change a thing. But that's what works for me in my space. Hope that helps!
I've been watching a lot of woodworking videos lately, but this is the first time I stumbled on one of your videos. Nice work! Not a big fan of the background music, so I muted it. Hopping I didn't miss your commenting. Been thinking about getting one of them Sawstop table saw. If I can afford it!
P Sosa - If you haven't bought it yet, let me encourage you to do so. Of course, any table saw can cause serious injury. However, I can't tell you how nice it is to know there's an extra safety net if the unthinkable happens and skin meets the blade. Think of it this way. Contractor SawStop, $1700-$2100. That's a whole lot cheaper than ER visits and surgeries to replace fingers (or God forbid, amputate).
I am newly subscribed and I love your work (especially the art). You also make a great choice of music to accompany what you are doing. I always catch myself head bobbing in time with the music😊.
Just found your channel searching for a project. You got a new sub! I have watched several of your videos now and have enjoyed the projects and the videography each very much.
It's one of the Dewalt ones. They're not bad and the fence is actually really good, at least it was on the one I had. I'd recommend making something solid to put it on and bolt it down somehow. The stand you can get with it will rack when trying to push thicker stock through it.
