    Sawstop outfeed table

    I just set up my new sawstop and decided that a nice big outfeed table was in order. I also needed some storage space so I decided to add a little to the table. I came up with this. 14 drawers and 1 cabinet. 40" x 60". I've made a lot of projects but This is the first thing that I actually made for the shop, so I decided to make it look half decent also. The Incra fence is also a sweet setup.

    Very nice, similar to what I did. I incorporated a woodpecker router plate for the router and a blank plate for when I'm just using it as a bench / outfeed table. I'm a shaper guy for large stuff, and my router setup is barely more than a router in a table. No fence, no lift, just clamp a board for a fence and go. Yours is a lot more like furniture however.

    Actually I got the idea from your table. I have a router table and a shaper so there was no need for the router table in mine. I may be sorry later on though.

    Aren't you two missing a miter slot continuing its way into your outfeed tables? Or, is it low enough to clear?

    I haven't needed slots yet but I'm prepared to cut them if needed. My jointech sled doesn't reach the outfeed table before the end of the cut. And if I need more room I can just pull the saw back a bit.

    That looks really nice, Dave, and a lot of handy storage space in addition to the outfeed support. Do you roll the saw forward when you need to open the right-side access door?

    Dave, that's perfect and exactly what I'd like to do with my SS. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    I don't use a sled as I have a monster Dewalt 14" radial arm saw for crosscuts. For wider cuts I use a Festool saw setup. The miter guage I use clears the blade without the slots. I originally intended to put them in, and I even bought some aluminum track to line the slots. But, I don't remember the last time I used a miter guage on the saw, and the one I used clears the blade, so I didn't cut the slots.

    Very nice, Dave. (Yours too, Joe.) I like this recent trend to invest extra time and money to make shop furnishings attractive (though I might have a different opinion if I made my living as a woodworker).

    Dave...congratulations on that outfeed bench...I also believe in making shop furniture that is a little upscale so to speak...I find it a great exercise for testing different joints and drawer styles etc before making a piece of furniture...and its a great exercise in design which you've passed with flying colors...your shop also looks interesting with that slopping roof, are you upstairs or on ground level?
