Have been asking advice lately on building outfeed tables for which I thank you all for your help. Here is my build for a SIP 10" cast iron t/s.
The main problem is the fence on this saw locks at the back of the table so there has to be clearance for this, you'll see hat I mean towards the end of the build.
Here goes, sorry the camera quality isn't very good...
Removed the rear aluminium rail and attached some hinges I had lying around the shop. Attached a spare lump of wood to this also.
Just to the right you see my first attempt, the screw sheared off, took it steady after that.
With the rear rail back in place this is what you end up with.
Screwed on another piece of wood which gives the clearance for the fence and also raises the new table to the right level.
Rail in place once again with the new melamine attached.
The hinges are screwed onto the diagonal part of the rail.
The cleat that will hold the legin place, and another spare lump of wood to make the leg from.
Closeup of cleat with leg in place, will make more sense in next few pics.
Told you that cleat would make sense.
The bottom of the leg rests quite nicely on the mobile base, allows the saw to be moved with the outfeed still up.
A closeup of that clearance I had to leave for the rear lock on the fence.
And another.
Still a bit of work to do on it, have routed channels for the mitre guide now, and when I can find that damn edge banding I'll finish the edges of the table.
