I've looked at the plans for a table saw outfeed table in an old ShopNotes. Are there any other plans on the Net that you folks would recommend?

Table Saw Outfeed Table

What kind of saw, contractor, cabinet, portable?
My very basic contractor's saw out feed table is simply two notched arms that attach with long versions of the bolts that hold the wings on. It's covered with laminate scraps left over from my router table project. I left a gap to allow my fence to slide between the saw table and the out feed table.
It's simple and pops off with 4 bolts and a 17mm socket.

Plans? I never thought of something that complex. Mine is a piece of laminate covered plywood. Two outer legs that fold. The side on the saw is just a support of pine that rests on the rails for the fence. Spring clamps hold it in place. Rout a slot for the miter.
Took about an hour to make and can be removed/replaced in about 15 seconds. Fold up the two legs and it takes up little space in a tight shop. Pics if you want them. Ed

Dennis, You don't need plans, check out a few pictures and make it fit your saw. You can check out the one I built at:

Look at these two sites:

built an outfeed for my Unisaw, which was sort of a hybrid of the above two approaches. You can see some pics of my effort here:

Forgot--Delta contractor.
That sounds similar to the plans I saw.

plans...which is, no doubt, why he asked for them.

Dennis, It is only clean during picture taking time.

Something even simpler. You got a kid? Anywhere from about 8 yo, up? That's all you need. My grandfather would rip lumber and plywood, and I would act as an outfeed table/handler. No prob

Uh, wish I could take credit for that but it was Ed. O. that sent that. Look above at the attribution. I was just the addressee.

Nah, take it easy on him, he's right. "Plans" was probably not the right word. A few good photos and rough sizes is usually good enough for most things. The photos have been pretty good. Sometimes a parts list is good for hidden or specialized hardware but for a OF table, I think I can go from the photos. Most variations seem to be how the table is attached to the saw.

Yep. Thanks. I wish they had a few pics so I could see what I was buying.

Great idea. When can your kid or grandfather come over and help out? Tomorrow morning OK?
As you may have guessed from the original request I've got no kids, fathers, or grandfathers around to help. It's just me. That's why I need an outfeed table.

2 or 3 times I've tried this. Despite my instructions, "Don't pull, just hold, especially don't put sideways pressure" the results were suboptimal. The last time my SWMBO helped the cut ended up with a noticable curve -- a good trick for a table saw & rip fence. I thanked her for her help, jury-rigged an outfeed support for that sawing session, & dropped $20 on my next trip to the Borg on an outfeed roller. Much better results.
I dunno, maybe my helpers just wanted to see what kickback looks like... ;-)
