Outfeed Table
Home Workshop Tool Reviews Woodworking Articles Projects

 

This is an outfeed table that I made for my Unisaw.  I'm really happy with the way that it came out.  Even though it's shop furniture, I used half blind dovetail joints and tapered legs in an effort to gain some more experience with fine furniture techniques. As far as I know it's the only folding downdraft-outfeed-table on the web.  If/when I get a larger fully dedicated shop I think I'll build a downdraft table like this one.  The upside of that table is that you can run it quietly all day long like an air filter.  However, mine can be folded away to make room for the cars in case of a hurricane, extended vacation, etc.

Pegboard supports all point towards the location of the dust collection hole:

I cut out some of the supports to lighten the weight of the unit. The support is still very strong, I walk on this table from time to time:

A nice shot of the outfeed table. The closer side also doubles as a downdraft table:
