I haven't posted anything for a while, thought I would post this. For the past year I've been busy building projects for other folks. I had pretty much a free week last week and decided to build something I wanted which was a new assembly/outfeed table. My old table was built a couple years ago off the Fine Wood Working plan that everyone seems to copy. There are some things that I have never liked about the table built from that plan. The final straw was when it started sagging in the middle (I built it on casters). I donated it to another shop and built this one with the features that I felt would better meet my needs.
It is 52"x 76" x 34.5"h, on 5" casters. The table and drawers are built from 3/4" birch ply with 2 sheets of ply and the black laminate for the top. The top is trimmed with 1.5"x2.25" Doug fir. There are 13 drawers on 22" slides for storage plus one door compartment for the compressor. I removed the Kreg Klamp tracks from a portable top and installed them on the back side of this table. To resist sagging, I screwed and glued the ply floor to a 2x4 frame under the table (between the casters). Also there is a full width vertical divider running the length of the table, screwed and glued to the floor.
Amazing how much plywood I burned though by the time the drawers were finished, probably 5-6 sheets.
Anyhow, I think I'll like this better than the old design. Never know, may be cutting it up next year and building some new and improved.
