Thread: Show me your table saw workstations!

  1. #16
    Here's mine. When I got my 1023s I decided to hang on to my Craftsman and dedicate it to dado usage. The outfeed table also has a large shelf underneath and two flip up, 3' outfeed extensions-one for each saw. Believe it or not, the fence (which I dialed in to parallel with the 1023 blade) is only out of parallel with the Craftsman saw by about 1/64th. It allows me to handle nearly any sheetgoods and doubles as a heck of an assembly table. Not probably what you were looking for but hey, it's good for conversation!

    My favorite so far has got to be Kurt Voss'. What a setup! I love the dust collection and all of the table space! You could do a lot of work there. Unfortunately a setup like that would take up half of my shop. I need more space...

    Hey Greg N! I recognise that pail on your saw table! How's the cat?

    One picture is my Contractors saw cabinet & the other is the lower drawer that holds my blades in my under extension cabinet for my Unisaw.

    The C-S cabinet is 3/4" plywood case with drawers on lockable casters.

    I put the other picture of the blade drawer in because if I was to build another C-S cabinet I would include a drawer like this.

    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    Thanks! There's a bunch of space below for storage, but after seeing that great drawer Bart made for saw blades, I'm thinking it's time for some better organization!

    Ok, this thread is going great so far!

    I'm leaning toward designing my own cabinet at this point.
    So, I have a follow-up question: If I design a simple plywood-and-dado carcass, my primary consideration should be direct support under the actual saw, correct? It seems to me that the main thing is to provide vertical plywood panels positioned at or near the outside of the hole below the saw.

    Another question: I really prefer a flush look for drawers. Is there some way I can build something structurally sound enough to suppor the weight of the saw and still get the flush drawer and cabinet look I'd like?

    If you'll look at my cabinet it has vertical face frame on each side of the saw with 3/4"plywood dividers directly behind the face frame.

    I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do this.

    I fastened a 2x4 along the length of the case underneath the case & fastened the lockable casters on each end. But now I really don't think this would have been necessary.

    Daniel Rabinovitz has a really nice setup. It made it into one of the WWmagazines. There was a therad here some time ago with it in it.

    Here are the pics. I could not find the write up.
