30 - How to Build a Tablesaw Outfeed Table

Thankyou so much how to make

This same style of construction with casters makes great roll around carts and are unbelievably strong. I built 4 of them about 20 years ago to use in a company operation and all are still going strong ,used just B C plywood and painted them

The shelf stretcher next to the saw could borrow a term from structural engineering - “upturned beam”. If the stretcher by the saw was installed above the shelf with the shelf “hanging” from the stretcher, you could mount the shelf lower and gain that volume for storage on the shelf.

damn look how young he looks!!!

Why would someone need to make a table saw outfeed table if they don't have a table saw?

Great simple design. Low fuss.

Marc, you are a great teacher and video demonstrator. Your out feed table is beautiful and practical.

Love the finished product, but what happened to the channels for the push gauge?

Stating your considerations was very helpful. Way more useful than just offering a cookie cutter plan. Thanks!

Spagnolo? LMFAO!!!

Great job on the presentation I watch alot of you tube video and yours are the ones I enjoy the most and I am going to build my oufeed table using your methods as a guide love that you give reasons for your methods Thank you for an easy to watch video !

Hey, no fair! I wanted to see you put in the bottom shelf, after you had put on the top. But, at about 18min, it suddenly appears. Don't put the top on until the bottom shelf?

thanks great job on the video

What a great design and easy to follow directions, Marc. I've just purchased a new Delta saw and soon I will make this out feed table and I can't wait to get started.

Awesome build! Thank you for the free plans. BTW, I purchased your miter saw and flip top tool stand plans too. Looking forward to making some saw dust!

I am late to the game i realize for this video. But I am a big fan of using repurposed counter tops, or melamine, or just putting laminate on the outfeed table. It provides a surface that materials glide easily across. One of the shops i worked at over the years had done this. I can never go back after how well that works for outfeed tables. Plus they make great places to draw out stuff for explanations or problem solving. Then easily erased after that.

Or are you still using this assemble.. I mean out feed table?

How wide are the side stretchers?

Saw the video today...thanks!

Two questions...Why not pocket hole screws? Also, why not build ghe stretcher frames and then install? Thanks

When fitting the top Marc says "I just got lucky..." No - he is a very good woodworker: measure accurately, cut accurately and it's job done!!!!

You might want to anchor it to the table saw to prevent any movement in the middle of a cut which could be a dangerous distraction.

I heard you mention "good ole Norm". Is this reference to Norm Abram?

Kind of a funny point that it's a video about making an out feed table for a table saw and Marc still shows you how to cut the plywood if you don't have a table saw. 😂

Lol... all you need is a drill and a circular saw...

And wood glue, pipe clamps, a biscuit cutter, a 4ft straight edge, a bradley nailer, an air compressor...lol. just busting your balls, this was a great video, can't wait to make one!

This is the outfeed table I will build. Can this table be built (almost as) well using 1/2" plywood instead of 3/4"? It seems to me the width of the legs and stretchers will still create a strong table. Thanks

Mark, What brand and type of Finish did you use on this? Was it just Shellac?

I wish mark had more videos of the incra fence on his table saw. I guess he didn't like it after using for a while.

Love this and making my own now.

"Honey, have you seen the ironing board?"

Hey Marc, thanks for all the nice videos. I notice about the first thing you do in this one is comment on the importance of the TS being "level". My garage, as I assume many folks' garages, has a gradual downhill slope to the outside, for drainage. My TS is not "level", it is "flat". In fact, I'm not even sure I can level it in any official way other than jamming shims under it (SawStop PCS). Do you recommend actually leveling your tools and tables, or would you have them coplanar to the floor in this scenario?

Watching this older video six years after was put out. Look at that hair and sideburns. Lol

I notice a lot of channels have had the incra fence at some point in time. They never keep it.

I saw your wall of clamps and all I could think to say was...….."jerk!"

mmmmm powermatic

I’m curious if you still like you’re Incra fence these years later?

Can this design be modified for a saw that has an L-bracket on the front? I think it would just require mounting the table top on top of the legs (rather than inside the 90deg angle formed by the legs), and building with a couple of inches overhang. Anyone done this?

What's the dimension of the leg component? Looks like 3 inches?

I just built one of these after watching this vid. I made a few changes, I put the legs to the inside of the stretchers and let the plywood hang over 2" on the table saw side to cover the gap and make it fit tight to the saw table. and I painted it to match my PM2000, including the black pinstriping. thanks for the idea!

should have dry fit the bottom then applied the plywood over top and then fastened

You subject premise is wrong. Every cabinet saw should have an outfeed table. A table saw needs to have some portable outfeed support, but a table especially the one you describe will reduce the versatility of the table saw. And many shops that use a table saw don't have the room for a large outfeed table. Most garage setups have to move the table saw around, even move it outside a lot. It appears many of the people posting video's about an outfeed table don't understand the difference between a cabinet saw and a table saw is. You, for instance, are using a cabinet saw. If you're going to post videos, get things right. Anytime the word 'all' is used I know the person using it has limited knowledge. I describe videos such as yours as entertainment rather than instructional.

Excellent video, this is the first one I’ve watched. Look forward to seeing more. Thank you for the very clear and detailed step by step explanation. also the tips and tricks I found to be very helpful. definitely picked up a few things

Thank you so much, this video is very detailed and well put together. I cant wait to make it.

40,000 dollars worth of equipment and builds a 50 dollar table.
You must feel like your slumming it.

I'm a few years late to the party but great video!

I have a sliding fence on my tablesaw, what would you say is more useful the outfeed table or sliding fence?
