Thanks for sharing. I like the clamping solution. Also the temp stop block for the table sled is a great idea. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who makes mistakes as I’m building stuff!
I like it! Im moving into a new shop and need another outfeed/assembly table. I think I am going to borrow your build for something similar. Just longer and wider. And on casters lol
I got them one of two places: My local home center, or I scavenged them off of some office furniture that was being thrown away. I honestly can't remember.
It works well enough, but I've never sprung for the Kreg to compare it. It tends to leave tearout on plywood, but a chisel cleans that up easy enough. Plus they're hidden anyway. Unless I knew I had multiple jobs where I'd have to batch out hundreds of pocket holes, I'll stick with the HF.
You are very correct, laminate would be a far superior surface for all the reasons you named. But for me, I've found that I need an assembly table that I can stick a screw in if I need it. This came in handy when I was doing a glue-up on a round table top. Traditional clamps wouldn't work, so I had to use a series of wedges, and screwing things down was the best option. I'd feel real bad screwing into a nice formica top.
What about slots in the top to accommodate your sled and miter guide rails? Or do you have the outfeed lower than the bottom of the tables saw guide slots?
Ouch!!! I totally forgot about that! After reading your comment, I ran down to the shop to survey the damage. My miter gauge is not a problem, but the crosscut sled is a big problem. I'm going to have to think this through. Cutting slots to accommodate is not a problem, but keeping those slots lined up to the table saw would be, since the two aren't attached and I regularly move the table saw to sweep up. I sense another video on the subject. I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching!
@@FranklinWoodWorks2016 My first shop was mobile and shared a 1 car garage with my wife's car. The floor was not level, so I picked out a spot and leveled the saw and spray painted around the feet to mark the floor. All I had to do was align the feet with the marks and drop the saw and viola! It was level and ready to go.
