As a novice woodworker I say thank God for shims, jigs, templates and clamps. Oh....and for guys like you who share these ideas so generously. This is a real good one.

[@theoriginalmonstermaker]

Jigs are truly the best way to get into wood working... they may never be a "show off " project, but things like this are what allow you to accomplish WAY more with limited tools and are great practice projects when being started (not to mention the understanding of mechanics they instill). Very helpful!!

[@brandonhoffman4712]

This is a cheap diy copy of the bow table saw fence. Better diy solutions exist as well. Using a 1030 t-track to keep the fence a fence (smooth vertical face) with the clamps working off the t-slots. If you wanted you could even mount mdf to it for a fence 10" tall if you wanted. And undermount supports to it for long boards. Both on the infeed and outfeed if you wish.

[@lincolndickerson1293]

Wait!!! You can actually extend it farther as an infeed for longer boards by simply pulling your infeed toward you more and then clamping. This is fantastic! For those of us with contractor saws we can do infeed and outfeed both! Leaving the feed boards farther apart than the table top for flexability. As alway, inspirational!

[@lincolndickerson1293]

In fact, I am going to go make this right now. 🔨🪚🗜

[@VAFSH4LIF]

That was my thought also. As long as its tight down to the table and fence it can hang off the table 3 feet or more? It's a great addition.

[@FallLineJP]

Yep just make sure the saw is fixed in place well. If it’s free standing, introducing a longer lever arm can make it easier to tip over 🤓👍🏻

[@denisfillion3196]

Good idea. One tool, two good and necessary functions.

[@Mosessousa1]

Could even add an out feed piece too for smaller jobsite saw I guess. But I got skills, so I just cut it as is

[@wittworks]

Bro. Such a great idea! Thank you! I don’t mind the talking to the camera. You’re a great teacher. A+ thumbnail and title. 🤜💥🤛

An absolute obvious fix that most of us overlook and continually struggle with. Great job creating this, it's awesome!

[@joewatts7942]

Jodi you just taught many less experienced woodworkers how to have a safer day in our hobby shop. Thanks Buddy

[@cgodlove]

Thanks for the idea! An aluminum strip edge could help keep it true over time. And for those of us with smaller portable table saws (eg Dewalt), a little outfeed support on the other end could be really useful for many cuts.

[@zootechdrum]

100%. That's what I got

[@bmail3]

Yes! The in-feed side is where I need the support. I have a contractor saw and adding in-feed support & auxiliary fence was one of the first things I did. I went whole hog with a quasi-permanent attachment, but this would work great too.

[@parzdiver]

Wow. What a difference this jig makes! I have a small job site saw and infeed stability has always been an issue. Just taking a small board on the bottom of a fence extension made a huge difference. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@bobtaylor7361]

I made one about 2 years ago. Added turned legs for kitchen cabinets. Cut 1/4 of leg out to sit into corners. Cut 10 legs perfect. Held from to legs as I cut and being turned legs. Made it safe. Glad to see you do it. I feel better now.

[@joec96]

I really appreciate your info. I'm just a beginner but I still use a bunch of your tips. Even if it seems simple to you, it never hurts to get instruction on how you built it.

[@TrickyGomez]

The main purpose for this is for giving LONG boards infeed stability and extending the outfeed fence as well. This is a great idea since it can be removed and installed in a flash... If the boards are not too wide you can use it with a feather board if needed. Thank you!!

[@rockyriddell8671]

Brilliant! You have addressed a common problem with elegance. A great solution for small portable job site saws that have that problem to an even greater extent than stationery shop saws.

[@williamfitzer4805]

I made mine with a laminated pc of plywood 14” wide x12” deep for the extended table and the fence gives me 42” of fence support in front of the blade. I rip a lot of 8/4 walnut in lengths up to 75”. The larger table support and longer fence make the process simple and easy. Great auxiliary pc to have.

[@andrewbieger5004]

Great stuff. In addition to helping with the infeed side of things, this jig likely keeps longer rips straighter. I have always had trouble keeping real long rips super straight, which is critical for many builds.

[@csimet]

Great idea. This, in combo with my collapsible roller stand, is all I'll need for in-feed of long boards. I also move my 2x6' workbench over a couple feet to supply something to rest the workpiece on before the cut... just to make it easy on my arms. It sits just to the right of the saw on the in-feed side.

[@rhettdunn8788]

I just built an infeed extension with some matchfit clamps. Super helpful. And nice to be able to use it on the left side with a miter gauge. But this is a great option for a quick fix. Nice work

[@richpeggyfranks490]

I don't mind you talking to the camera at all. Your enthusiasm for this jigs is obvious, as well as your humility in knowing what a simple fix this is. Thanks for sharing.

[@allendiaz9031]

Thus us a good idea for boards from 4 to 6 feet, but for longer boards I had an infeed table on wheels. One can use saw horses with a table top, which of course would correspond to the height of the table saw. As a professional woodworker and instructor it's always best to take the time to fabricate jigs or set ups for safety and of course the end result is greater accuracy. I'm 78 and it does my heart good to see so many people enjoying the art of woodworking.

[@johnwente1413]

You could also attach a couple of feather boards to your infeed table to make the wood stay down on the infeed. That's one less variable you have to deal with. Of course you could attach the feather boards to your regular fence as well when you don't need the infeed board. For a narrow board like the one in your demo, you could also use feather boards on the saw table. That takes care of all the variables except feeding the board through the saw blade. You would only need the infeed table for very long boards if at all. Wood workers have been using feather boards pretty much since the invention of the table saw.

[@ppudelko9120]

Yep, feather boards for me, too! Plus one infeed and one outfeed roller stand for eliminating the horizontal wobble. Not saying this is a bad solution but mine is much more universal for more machines, eg. a router table, thicknesser, etc.

[@christopherdahle9985]

Smart idea. I've made several crappy, quick and dirty temporary infeed tables that attach to the fence rail when I had extra long stock to rip. They were always fussy and ended up getting torn down and repurposed once the job was done. Yours would be worth taking some extra time to make carefully to last and I think I will. Not going to make it today, but I've noted this video on my shop's chalkboard and the next time I need to make long runs of custom baseboards I'm going to whip one of these up. I immediately started thinking of ways to make it "better" but really, you've trimmed this down to it's essential function to create a shop appliance that is simple and easy to build. Well done and well explained. Thank you.

[@brianpaasch2665]

Really happy to see this! I’m a novice woodworker and I built one of these jigs a few months ago. I’ve wondered about it as none of my KZbin woodworking buddies had recommended this jig. (That’s my term, none of my “buddies” have a clue who I am!). I’ve got a DeWalt jobsite table saw. The table is slightly larger than a postcard. No meaningful infeed or outfeed, no home-built surround… just the stock table. My jig is an extension for both infeed and outfeed. I glued together two MDF 1x4s as the auxiliary fence. I ripped a tiny slice off each edge to get rid of the rounded edges. I glued 1/8th inch hardboard, 4x12-inch for the infeed end and 4x18-inch for the outfeed end to the bottom edge of the MDF fence. Drilled three holes in the top edge of the MDF for three universal fence clamps and, that’s it! This is my most used table saw jig, love it! But… as a novice, and since none of my buddies had done this, I kept wondering if this was a bad idea… was I missing a safety issue, or what? Jodee, you just validated my jig, so thank you!

[@hansangb]

I had the same saw. Make sure you sand the miter slot to make it perfectly smooth. If you use Incra or other types of adjustable miter gauge, it'll make a world of difference. I liked the dewalt for adding rack and pinion fence that's sturdier than most saws in this class. I made a quick video on adjusting the Incra and sanding miter slot. But use a plywood+sandpaper after feeling for bumps along the miter slot.

[@brianpaasch2665]

@@hansangb Tamar at 3x3 says the same, sand off that coating on the miter slots. I haven't been brave enough to do that yet. But yes, the miter runners on my jig/sleds bind and stick a lot. And running my finger along the edges of the miter slot, the coating is obviously lumpy. But since the table is aluminum, I'm afraid I'm going to damage the miter slot with the sandpaper. edit: Found your video. Good info. And I love that you're using a paper cutter. My lever arm paper cutter is my go-to tool for making thin shims (paper!). Thanks!

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Great idea incorporating the outfeed. I'm working in a small space and have to keep the saw against a wall and roll it out for everything, so I'll be sure to include an outfeed in my build.

[@dwightl5863]

@@brianpaasch2665 The table is aluminum, not cardboard. Don't go hog wild on the sanding. A couple of passes with the sandpaper and try it. Still rough, couple more passes and try it. IMHO

[@davids2530]

Brian - I have the Dewalt job site saw. I bought an Incra miter gauge. I pressed some 220 sandpaper against one side of the slot with an 8 inch straight piece of wood (I had some hardwood flooring). I ran it one time on each side. Then ran gauge through to locate high spots. Removed very small amount and tested again. Incra gauge is adjustable but has min and max widths so take your time when sanding.

Izzy Swan came up with in infield table extender a while back, but I very much prefer this. The extension of the fence should help a lot. I guess a feather board could be added depending on the width of the stock too. I have some scrap plywood that I am going to use for this jig. Thanks!

Brilliance in its simplicity and functionality! Solves an issue that all table saw users have experienced and pretty much accepted or assumed as just being the nature of the beast. Definitely one of those ah-ha... so simple, why didn't I think of that moments.

[@jackhegarty3495]

Thank you for this video great inspiration I have a small contractor saw on a rolling stand I made so built a copy of your extension which works perfect. Only change I made was to add outfeed shelf to other end since my saw is mobile and didn't have any permanent infeed or outfeed.

[@joebeaton1101]

Made it... Used it this morning cutting Teak panels... Worked great!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@dennisyarbro1657]

I built a similar auxiliary fence and added some Jessum In-feed stock rollers to hold the work piece down and tight up against the auxiliary fence. My indeed support is a tad longer, but that with a roller stand makes even long boards (>6-feet) easier to manage by myself. Thanks for making such a good explanatory video to convey this idea to many others. Good job.

[@vincentcoppola9832]

Great idea. Infeed rollers and table extensions help, but even with feather boards, which can flex, long heavy boards are not easy to keep aligned to fence. Thanks for video - think I'll be making one this fall - probably out of ash too.

[@dottielynch9763]

I like the simplicity of the design. Thanks for sharing.

[@b1j]

Nice idea, well executed. I use a roller stand at the infeed (and outfeed) for long boards, and a feather board to keep the work registered against the fence. As the cutoff gets wider (no feather board) I can move more around the left side and push right while also pushing forward. But it’s always nice to have more infeed fence, so good work.

[@timhankins3436]

[@gregwyatt6534]

The one problem with roller stands is that if the roller is not exactly 90° to the blade, it will push the timber/lumber sideways a little.

[@daviddanahy663]

I made my infeed support using your great idea. I love it. It was super easy to make and it has given me the confidence to cut longer pieces. Thank you. I did one thing different with the material that I had on hand. By a stroke of luck I used a piece of white vinyl shelf board on the bottom of the L-shaped support. The white board creates an eye-opening contrast between it, the white shelf board, and the board I'm trying to straighten. Each time I run it through the blade I reference the bad board to the white shelf material before making another pass through the saw. This has improved my work. Thank you.

[@jonstark4003]

Neat idea for sure especially the part that adds bottom support to the in feed. I think a featherboard would do just fine in terms of lateral wobble. Using your front arm to keep the board flat against the table saw. A long level clamped to the fence is also helpful for adding some support for the in feed/out feed.

[@stevennachlas9596]

This is a great idea! I have typically been using one of those flips top stands from Home Depot which store away nicely and allow me to have infeed or outfeed support as needed. My workbench backs up to my tablesaw so I don’t need outfield support. But you make a great point that Infeed support is just as important. I may build one of your jigs just to see how it works. You solved the only concern that I had in that I like to use my tape measure on my fence rail, which is calibrated perfectly. By making the jig have a width of exactly 3 inches, or any other whole number, it makes it super easy to use. Kudos!

Good idea. I had to rip some 5/4 x 10" x 10' maple. Heavy boards! I used 3 roller stands for the infeed. That way I could line up the board and stand close enough to the saw to guide it against the fence. This would have helped on that project.

Terrific safe idea to help control infeed of long stock! You rate a Cheeseburger. One addition is to create a vertical pressure finger to mount on the thin base to secure the stock to the metal surface eliminating one control issue.

These roller stands can be used other places when needed as well.
