Feed Table Question

#1 Post by doncolga »

Hi all,

I've acquired a table saw that appears to be in better working condition than the one I had before, but I still need to try it out. I'm assuming a feed table is a good thing to have and easy to build, but I don't think I need a huge one. What suggestions for size, etc, would you all have for a feed table? Does anyone have any pictures?

Thanks!

Donny

Width: same as your table saw surface
Lenght: Minimum of half of your longest cut. If you think you will need to cut 8 feet long, you will need at least a 4 feet long outfeed table.

+1
Make the top out of some thing nice and smooth so the wood [ply] slides nice and easy over it.
I would make the width wider than the saw table,if you,ve got room,to give more support if ripping a strip off a wide board.

Here's mine. It's 4'x8'. I should move it back closer to the saw.

Here's my monster that takes up 1/2 the garage:

The outfeed is made of "melenine" which is basically 3/4" particle board laminated on both sides with white formica. Wood slides real easy on it. That's a 4'X6' out feed.
