Small Shop Expandable Outfeed Table | Less Room More Space

[@drobinson4545]

Wow! I really like this build. Been looking at the rotating tablesaw builds that flip the saw into the storage. They look week and limited on table space! This one looks promising! Thanky you for sharing!

[@SarcasmoRex]

Holy carp, I literally was drawing up plans for nearly this exact idea for my garage workshop and had no idea where to start. AWESOME.

[@TanyaNelson70]

I didn't even get half way through the video and I had already went and bought the plans ... This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for ....

[@cbbbbbbbbbbbb]

Picked up an old job site saw (skil 3102) for cheap while I'm working on building out cabinets at my parents house. This is definitely one of the better options for a saw caddy and workable. Great video!

[@steveferguson1232]

I really like this. I am in a 12x20 portable building and this will be perfect for my metabo contractor saw

[@garyweatherford9484]

Thanks Zack, I've got plans on building this for my DeWalt table saw. It has a nice foot print but I plan on building two of the modular latching workbenches as well to park along each side of the outfeed table to make an even larger outfeed/assembly area for my small shop. When through just park everything along the wall 🙂

[@jimrosson6702]

This is absolutely what I needed Zack I’ve got that same saw and getting ready to move and not sure how much room I’m going to have so this will be perfect. Thanks for sharing

[@steveferguson1232]

Looks like this would be perfect for my Metabo HPT contractor saw. Love the design

[@bordenkechers]

I'm absolutely going to build this. This was just what I was looking for to be able to use my table saw more safely and effectively.

[@darrellsr0526]

Awesome idea. This will work perfectly for my small shop. Thanks!!!

[@andreafaulkner4192]

Thanks for always doing great builds. I have a bunch of your plans and have built your workbench carts I use them for my garden plants. I am planning on making a bunch more of those only shorter because I am short and didn’t make them short enough in the first try.

[@AbdicateDotNet]

Really wonderful!! My "new" shop is 12'x12' and this will become a great solution. Thank you! Bought the plans!

[@DesertDolphinWoodworks]

I was just thinking I need something like this today. Come inside from the shop and here’s your video. Nice job brother. 🐬🐬🔼

[@gregrempel1402]

Great job, bet your wishing the folding table on the left side was as wide as the saw plus the fixed rear section. Enjoyed your video, I am ready to add the outfeed to a similar build using a frame made from 3 layers of plywood. Like the simple /functional design.

[@MarkDustPhD]

Exactly what I've been looking for! Bought the plans and ordered the brackets and wheels from your Amazon links. I'm going to use leftover melamine shelves from the kitchen cabinets for the side tables and skip the outfeed table because I use my tall workbench as the outfeed. I only have half of a 20' x 20' garage to use for my workshop, so space is at a premium. The next project after I build this is to adapt the plans to fit my DeWalt sliding compound miter saw so I can pull it out, pop up the wings, make my cuts, drop the wings, and push it back out of the way!

[@denniskellett]

Another great idea Zack. This is going to make using my table saw much easier. This is exactly what i need . Thanks for your videos and brilliant ideas. They are always informative and very easy to understand.

[@benaichebenyamina7288]

Great work mate. I am from Australia. I purchased your plans and will be starting to build soon.

[@RobertErvine-d1d]

This is going to be one of my builds as I do not have much space. Brilliant

[@MaddMaxxWoodWorks]

This is a great build thank you. I do have an idea to make it even better. W hat if you added a removable part on the front that will give you more support when you do cut a full sheet of plywood

[@BearMountainBuilds]

That's a good idea! My original idea for an infeed is that I made the saw height the same as my modular tables so I can just wheel on over for the additional support

[@winnieraygo6994]

I was thinking the same basic idea "fits in a small shop" love it AWESOME I will be downloading plans I l also ike they way you build with 2x4 those tables etc !!

[@gtshadow69]

I have the same saw so this is perfect for me. Looks very well made. The 3D print spacers look quite useful as well. You selling them?

[@ajaymanoharan5496]

Beautiful! I think we can also make the pair of side wings into router and jigsaw tables each! - what do you think of that?

[@cromakey]

Just bought the plans, looking forward to build it! Very well done 👍

[@CJMulcahey]

This is great! I’ve been looking at getting the Dewalt 10in DWE7491RS. The plans and formula look easy enough. Great build!

[@robwotherspoon3817]

I've used your plans as a starting point for much of my shop furniture, thanks! Couple things: the other issue with this saw is infeed. Im working on some 8deas for that. Second, Sande ply can have an awful odor of manure...so oick it carefully.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I designed this to be the same height as my modular tables so they can function as an infeed table

[@jeffp5991]

Nice idea. It would have been nice to see you show a demo of cutting a 4x8 sheet of plywood. It feels like the wings couldn't hold the weight when your trying to set a big piece on top of it. By the way, I was wondering if you've ever made custom spacers or if you sell plans? Oops, I guess you mentioned both three time. 😅

[@anthonymiddlesex6859]

fantastic spot on

[@melissagraham6180]

Just disappointed the frame didn't get standard black paint. lol Great design and already bought the plans to make myself. Thank you for taking the time to share with us!

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Definitely thought about painting the frame black. Maybe I still will and update the thumbnail

[@melissagraham6180]

It’s almost become signature. lol Regardless, it’s a great build!

[@RareRiddemz]

I've been thinking about this kind of idea for the past couple weeks as I've been painstakingly cutting down full size sheets of plywood using way too many methods (ripcut, accucut, circular saw with straight edge, psychic powers that don't work). Question/idea for another video - would love to see a solution for how to crosscut wider sheets of plywood (e.g., 30" x 18" ) using a jobsite table saw. Most crosscut sleds I've found are built for cabinet saws and/or they are seemingly too small to accommodate such a large piece of lumber. Would love to see that idea integrated into this table or just using a jobsite saw in general. Immediate plan purchase if you do that, Zach! Thanks for this timely video! For anyone considering buying BMB plans, they are by far the best plans I've ever purchased. The cut diagrams are amazing and the colour coding makes it fool proof! They're not full of confusing and useless top/side/front/inside/outside views and the builds don't use complicated joinery. EDIT: At 11:40, I see you crosscutting what looks like a similar size of plywood that I mentioned and without a mitre gauge... any tips for doing so safely?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Thanks for promoting the plans! The main issue I have with cross cutting plywood on a jobsite tables saw is the lack of support underneath the wood. The best recommendation I have is to have an outfeed table like this that supports the wood from underneath as you push it through.

[@redslover5293]

Nice work!! Planning one for my Bosch saw. Are the STL file available for the setup spacers?

[@alainaurelseguin]

I love your spacers. Could you talk about them more. I am sure you must have a link of something you have done before. Thanks

[@BearMountainBuilds]

[@glennirwin4710]

What nice build. Simple and straight forward. Are your spacer blocks for sale.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Working on putting together an initial limited run sale as we speak. The plan is to have something ready to go in a month or two

[@SteveTemperino]

Thanks Zack, I am new to woodworking and have just joined your channel and down loaded your plans. Really enjoyed the video and the simple instructions. However, I have a DWE7491 10” table saw which, I think , is larger than the saw you used for the build? The plans mention how to make adjustments for a different size saw. As I read the adjustment advice, it looks as if only the long and short spacers and the crosspiece need to be adjusted? However, if the spacers are adjusted will the verticals also need to be adjusted? I think the same would apply for the bottom shelf , the saw base and the left and right edges? Are plans available for a DWE7491 table saw? Besides these questions, I think the channel is great and a useful source for people at all levels…. Thanks for your reply….

[@BearMountainBuilds]

The plans are built for the 8-1/4" table saw. The plans calculations will change the the crosspiece that sets the width of the opening for the saw and the upper an lower saw platform spacer length that will make sure the top of your saw is even with the top surface.

[@Charlie-h7x]

Add another foldout for the end feed which is short for project saws. Doesn’t have to even be full width of the saw probably need to be removable. Just a thought

[@dustinclark8946]

I made the big 4x8 table which I love but I'm thinking of cutting the table saw section off and make it mobile like this and keeping the 6 ft section as a build table. I'm finding the big table unruly in my small shed workshop

[@mikebrown8792]

Hi Zack, great video and this looks just right for my needs. I bought the plans (very nice too) and have one question. The plans call for the notch for the saw rails to be at a depth of 2-5/8" but in your video, you cut it to 1-5/8". Which one should it be? I'm thinking 1-5/8? Keep up the great work. P.S. You don't look 6'-4" in your videos. I think we would all like to see some proof of that...

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Looks like the 2-5/8" is a typo in the plans, good catch. I'll get the plans updated. The 1-5/8" is the correct dimension. I am in fact 6' 4" that's why I build all my tables an extra 3" tall

[@byob801]

[@MarkDustPhD]

I might have missed it somewhere, but I did not know there was more than one Dewalt jobsite table saw size. The plans are written for the smaller DWE7485WS 8-3/4" saw (but not mentioned by model number on the plans). I have the bigger 10" DWE 7491. The feet look the same, the front panel is the same, etc., so I didn't think anything about it and went about building the outfeed table as the plans were written and when I went to install the saw, it didn't fit. The width of the feet on DWE 7491 is 26-1/2" and the plans call for the crosspiece to be cut at 24-5/8". The depth of the table is deeper too. You'll need to cut the notches for the back fence farther than the plans call for. End to end on my saw is 24-1/2" and the plans call for the start of the notch to be 19-1/8", so I would set my saw on the platform where you want it and mark for the start of the notch before you cut them. Otherwise, I really like the plans and there are instructions on how to adjust the dimensions of the spacers and crosspieces if you don't have the same saw Zack has.

[@Sadge23]

I have the same saw as you (7491) and have been trying to figure this out, so I'm glad you commented. Did his instructions/calculations work for you when you measured? I ask because as far as I can tell his 7485 saw is (as listed by Dewalt) 22.75" wide, which according to his calculations sheet means that the crosspiece dimension should be 23 3/8", but in his plans they're 24 5/8" (which working backwards would mean that his saw would be 24" wide). As best as I can figure, he's added an inch of overhang to the right of the saw, but that's not accounted for in the calculations. Do you know/remember what you ended up cutting the cross pieces to? And did it work for you?

[@MarkDustPhD]

@@Sadge23 I didn’t change the crosspieces of the lower portion of the cart because I had those glued and screwed already. I ended up removing the interior spacers on the upper portion so the feet would fit. So, add at least 3 inches to the length of the crosspieces. Also, you’ll need to notch out the left hand side for the riving knife release handle.

[@Sadge23]

@@MarkDustPhD That's really helpful, thank you.

[@Kinglymarker8988]

How about dust collection.? How would a cyclone fit into this build? Otherwise, robust easy to follow build as usual. Thanks.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Just wait for my next video my friend!

[@TomButtner-qs8zg]

Another great build Zach. I've watched a bunch of Table Saw workbench builds trying to figure what's right for my small shop. Is there anything in this plan that allows for adjusting height to ensure level/flat across the table, bench and outfeeds? One complex build goes to the extreme of bolt height adjustment. Other say to shim it if needed or to make the sides/outfeed slightly lower than the table. Thoughts?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I generally plan for the table saw top to be even to 1/16" above the rest of the platforms to prevent any interference. I generally suggest "dry fitting" the build after you attach the base and legs. It's pretty easy to just clamp your spacer boards and the saw platform in place to check where the top of your saw ends compared to the table platforms. It's the best way to tell if you need to make any adjustments to the spacer lengths. Once you know everything looks good then you can finish assembling the frame with peace of mind. If I ever have issues still then I would just do some minor shimming

[@brianmcmanagan3742]

Great build, just what I was looking for, only problem is the imperial measurements, ye Yankies need to get modern, Metric is so much easier 😁👍 I do have 3 work benches on casters so I’ll use those for outfeed, infeed, & side support tables. Thanks

[@jonathanboyd8297]

Where did you get those measuring blocks? Those look like they are so useful.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I made them myself! They've been really useful. I'm thinking I'll be making a limited set of them initially and try selling them to gauge interest

[@I_Tie_Flies]

Nice idea! Up it a notch by adding in an infeed area.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I built it the same height as my modular workbenches so they can be used as an in-feed as needed

[@OtterBeSwimming]

Nice table, maybe in some other video you explain better what you mean when you state make certain the brackets are parallel. You did some change however I have no idea what you modified. Also you state you put polyurethane and wax to make things slide easier but that is really little to no information, I will see if you have another video that provides clear information on this step (I suggest in the future you add a link to the video so people like me don't have to search for it). Good video even if I have a big table saw.

[@joshmara9192]

I like the idea! However, doesn't this restrict access to the fence lock? 🤔

[@BearMountainBuilds]

You still have complete access to the lock on the side of the saw, you can just reach through the front and it's not a tight fit getting your hand in there.

[@joshmara9192]

​@BearMountainBuilds Great!! I was assuming access was from the side but the front does make more sense. Thanks for the reply and clarification

[@drdavecohodes]

Are you able to fit a Dewalt Planer underneath this?

[@ChildishCambino]

Does the build match the height of your modular workbenches as well?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Yes it does!

[@raider1284]

Awesome build and I'm having a blast making it, but the math in the plans for other saws dimensions is completely wrong. I had to learn the hard way and recut all of the long and short spacers because of it. I would be happy to send the correct Adjustments so that you can update the official plans you are selling.

Set up your camera, fold out the flaps, and cut an 8x4 sheet of 3/4" plywood on this table. I want to see what happens when 75"+ of 3/4" ply is past where the casters are touching the floor...

[@RareRiddemz]

That is a valid point, but keep in the mind the saw itself weights around 90lbs plus all the lumber it's set on is at least another 50-70 lbs so the bench has around 150 lbs of weight which is more than enough combined weight to counter the weight of the offcut plywood. I'd still like to see the table used in your scenario.
