What is the best way and what size is best for an outfeed table on a table
saw? I have a Unisaw. I just don't know if I should build a seperate table
(what size?) or if I should build an outfeed attached to the table saw. What
is everyone doing for this? Room is not really a problem for me since I am
working in a 40' X 40' size building but its no use having it too big for
nothing..........right? Regards. -Guy


My outfeed table is about the width of the Unisaw plus the extension
table. It is about four feet deep. It is on casters but also has
cabinet levelers on it so that I can get fussy about the level, when
needed, by cranking on the levelers. I don't use jigs that ride in
the slots, so the top is one expanse of shiny P-Lam, which helps when
riding full sized sheet goods through the saw. I use an outfeed
roller (HTC) to catch the outside of the board when doing rips that
need this.

You can see what it looks like at:

It ain't beautiful but it works good.
