Elevating projects

[Van Huskey]

One thing to note about these tables is they also make excellent outfeed support for bandsaw, shapers etc that are either mobile or don't warrant the space for a permanent outfeed table. If you don't need a wide variation in height (more likely with a multifunction outfeed table than what has been discussed in this thread) I prefer the non-hydraulic versions like a motorcycle scissor jack since it is mechanical and can not leak down like some people report the Harbor Freight lifts can.

Van another option for sure. The adjustability is infinite with something like this or the hydraulic version. Thanks

Thank you folks!

There a lot of options you could get from Ebay, prices ranges from 18bucks to 100bucks.

I just have a couple of saw horses like these.

I have the HF lift table to which I've added a basic plywood top. I plan to cut the handle height down considerably, and make a better top for it, but it's quite useful.

I made a variant of the festool MFT table. It is a piece of MDF that sits of saw horses. colapses when not needed and easy to move around. Nice thing is it works with all the festool clamps. I'm not sure where you are but if it's local to south Florida I have a CNC machine and can cut the top for you.

Nice design!

Here is what I'm going to make.

That looks like it will work well. The two heights will be handy.

My workshop is 1/2 of a two-car garage. I have a Skil X-Bench which I use for a work table, second workbench, outfeed table, indeed table, platform to stand on, etc. They aren't made anymore, but they do show up on eBay and Craigslist occasionally if anyone wants to keep an eye out for one.

The size of the top is about 2' x 5' and the height adjusts from 24" to 34". I like the portability and storability.
