    Wes, forgot to mention that I also extended the miter slots by routing those in the outfeed, once I got the width and depth correct I went back and did a very slight chamfer on the slots to keep them from chipping. those extended miter slots really come in handy when using a miter gauge or a cross cut sled...

    Hey Wes, Great video! I have something very similar on my Delta Unisaw and it's awesome to have all that space especially when sawing full sheets. The one thing I did was attach the Melamine with screws from underneath so there would be no screws showing on top. I also edge banded the entire raw table edges with 3/4" Maple, I think it looks much better but also because Melamine has a tendency to chip especially when you screw or nail it through the top. Another reason is when I clean and wax my cast iron saw top I also do all the Melamine out feed table. It makes the wood glide like it's on a cushion of Air and it extends the life of the table. I've had my current table on the saw for seven years now with lots of use and it still looks really good.

    Boy I wish I had that amount of space. Great table & good advice! Nothing fancy, just straight forward and easy to understand. I'll take a few of your tips and apply them to my 'mini' table saw. As I only have a small 15 X10 foot shop, so I need to have my out feed area foldable. But I can keep it level with the saw bed. So when the winter is over I will get cracking at it. I have some built in wardrobes to build and your tip with the cleats is a gem.

    I wish I had the space for an outfeed table that large in my shop. Looks like a great design with a huge capacity. I re-mounted my saw fence rails so that I can cut up to 36" (it is meant for 30" normally) and made a movable 4x4' outfeed table that can be swung around or moved to either side depending on my needs. I have large locking/leveling wheels on it to make moving and aligning it easy. I doubles as an assembly table with dog holes and MatchFit channels and have a full shelf under for storage.

    Wes, thanks for the tutorial! This is a great outfeed table idea. Are you planning on routing dados to accommodate mitre bars for each slot for when you exit a crosscut? Will you show that process in a future video? Also, in my experience, I’ve had problems with outfeed tables that are flush with the tablesaw rather than 1/16th or so lower in case there’s any swelling from moisture in the air. Is this something to worry about?

    I've had problems with particle board in general when it's exposed to humid conditions. As the wood particles expand and shrink, the board starts to lose its structural support capabilities. Laminate countertops over a dishwasher also suffer from this as the humid air comes out during the drying cycle. It doesn't happen overnight, but I wouldn't use particle board for much where I live. It's probably ok in drier regions.

    I have a very similar situation with a short Delta Unisaw with a 30" fence and had planned to either replace it with a longer rail or build it my self. You have a very nice setup shop but I noticed you painted over the two spots where the contact pads grip onto the fence rail. Friction should abrade it away but the paint may cause the fence to stick and gum up with paint.

    I don’t understand how the table top supports the back end of the fence. The angle iron is recessed below the table top which I assume is the fence support and is lower by approximately 1.5”. Wouldn’t the angle have to be extended as well? What am I missing here? 🤷‍♂️🇨🇦👍👨‍🦳

    Great video. I'm lucky to have a very big shop and I have a Biesemeyer rip guide . I have a Delta cabinet saw and a delta contractor saw so I modified the right side of the rip fence and mounted the contractor saw to the right of the cabinet saw. Now I have a double saw same rip guide but a regular blade in cabinet saw an a dado blade in the contractor saw. Now I do all my rips on one then lower the bade and slide the rip guide over and do all my dados without having to change blades. I have been doing this for about 8 years now.

    Wes, great build, love your channel. You are always very thoughtful and a great teacher. I absolutely love your projects and you are very practical. Keep 'em coming. I do need to comment on your table saw safety as I feel that it sends the wrong message to your viewers. You are awesome but table saw safety is a responsibility that we all need to speak up about. I do see that you don't have a riving knife and guard on your blade. As a sergeant safety guy and an educator it is concerning. People feel that it is okay to lean forward over a turning, unguarded blade and even reach across the blade as they use their table saw. 65,000 table saw accidents in the US in a year, yikes. In all likelihood, most or all are avoidable with planning. People don't consider that the margin of error is extremely small even if you are aware and careful. No one considers that the margin of error decreases exponentially if you are distracted by another person, loud noise, pet, or worse, an unforeseen medical event. A person has a shooting pain in their chest, or perhaps what they call an ice pick headache - unexpected shooting pain, or any other disruptive event which causes a person to drop their hand unexpectedly on to or across the moving blade. Or, as they are pushing stock into or across the blade and for some unforeseen reason they slip. Tragic. Keep in mind the issue is not what any one person has done for years and decades without an issue, it is the "one time" that results in a devastating, life altering accident. Is it worth the time or inconvenience of using a guard and safety measures, ie riving knife, hold downs? Obviously not. We are getting older and incur health issues as we get older. Issues that can disrupt us unexpectedly, which can happen to any one at any age, increase with advancing age. I continually see unguarded table saws on KZread, This Old House, and HGTV. Great programs sending the wrong message to earnest woodworkers. Yes, at times I remove the guard for operations that I cannot do with a guard. But I employ other safety measures, I keep my hands away from the blade, I never ever reach over or past the blade. I use push sticks whenever possible. I turn off my saw and let the blade stop before I retrieve my work or clear scraps near or past the blade. I always re-install the guard as soon as I no longer need it off. I'm a teacher and we would never let students use unsafe practices that I see are a regular part of so many table saw videos today. Use a guard and a riving knife whenever possible. Don't reach beyond a spinning blade. Use hold downs whenever possible. Use push sticks and steer clear of spinning blades. Accidents are avoidable and safety should always be our first priority. Stay safe and happy woodworking!

    I too used white Melamine for my out feed table. I made mine 8 feet to the rear of the saw to hold full sheets. I used a router to make grooves to match the miter slots on the table saw so my miter gauge and sleds would have full motion . I was surprised that you focused so much on width and not on length. I bought a couple of sturdy steel rollers on stands to assist with the infeed support. I found that using a track saw is a lot easier than man handling full sheets on a table saw.

You need to add the longer mounting rails as well but it was still cheaper than ordering longer stuff from Biesemeyer. The best I can remember the longer material cost me about $150.00 from the local steel fabricators/erectors shop. In the early 80s I put the Biesemeyer T Square 52" Commercial fence on our old 1970s Rockwell Unisaw. It was somewhere around $380.00 shipped if I recall right. Big money back then. I had plenty of room 40'X60' shop. I had 4 other table saws set up to do specific jobs two of which I put the VEGA Saw Fence system on, dedicated rip saw and dedicated dado. I set my support table so I could cross cut or rip 4x8 sheet goods by myself and it would not tip off the work surface. I don't think I ever used that fence past 60 inches!

    My 60s Delta Unisaw this long fence was an option to cut to 52in and came with an extention table with 2 steel support legs. I was also able to get a mobile base for the whole rig. 3hp 220v motor tops it off. Not much more I could ask for and it is actually rated as a production saw so it will run constantly thru an 8hr shift. Love the old girl. Some jobs I literally have to shovel out the base as I have not yet hooked up my dust extractor for it but soon.

    Can't say I've never been accused of overbuilding stuff, but holy smokes! That thing could withstand a nuclear attack! I'm sure you're going to get a lot of great usage out it. Great idea on fabbing your own rail too! (I probably would've had it powercoated - a bit more costly but more durable.) Wish you would have shown more of a wide overall shot of the finished project but great job.

    Single most important rule of safety on a Table saw. And I try and leave this comment on everybody's videos. Turn off the Saw. after every single cut. Let it come to a full stop. Do not attempt to grab or move. any piece of wood before this saw has stopped.p

    I built a 5’x4’rolling torsion box work table that is also the right height to double as an outfeed table. Built it out of 2x4’s and MDF. From that experience I might suggest that making it flush with the table saw could be a problem in a shop that’s not well climate controlled. Only really happened one humid summer big it seemed to get just a bit taller and would have to bump over the edge. Think maybe an 1/8” inch shorter would probably take care of any expansion and not throw off the cuts.

    Nicely done, as a finish carpenter, I have installed many hand rails. One thing code requires for us,( I'm in Washington state), is that there be a return to the wall. Also, the hand rail height must be between 34"- 38" off of the nosing of the tread. You did a great job, just wanted to chine in.

    What would you ever cut with the fence set 60" or more away from the blade? I don't think I would try even a 4' wide panel, certainly not 2' wide as it would likely bind and spin back across the shop.

    Beautiful job on that outfeed table and workspace. I wish I had that kind of space. I have such a small shop and too many tools. But I put everything on wheels. In order for me to be able to turn around in my shop. When I do any work in particular on my cabinet saw. I have to wheel a bunch of my machines outside in the driveway. It's very difficult in the winter. I'm in the north in Canada. Weather here is cold, with a lot of ice and snow. I live above what is called "The Snow Belt." Once I clear things out and close the insulated doors, as my double car garage is my shop. I can put on my heater and work in the warm. I installed a 22 foot "U" Tube sealed combustion, radiant, natural gas heater on the 12 foot high ceiling. It works great. But what I was going to say about an outfeed table. I installed an outfeed top attached to my saw. I put it on hinges, so when I pull the saw (on wheels) out from the wall I can raise the outfeed. It works just fine. My bar for my fence used to be 60 inches but it was always a problem. So I had to cut it down to take 48 inches. It's a double fence. The table to the right of the saw blade is a Router Table with the other attached fence for the Router and there is a hose port for dust collection. Like you showed when cutting your project wood. I don't have any guard or riving knife on my saw either. Just an open blade. You did your cuts very easy. I always seem to have trouble. As the sheet of wood is on the other side past the blade. It always seems to want to pull away from my fence and move toward the blade. I usually use a thin push stick in the cut past the blade to keep the wood pushed up aganst the fence. I have had a few kickbacks, this is how I avoid it. Looking forward to further developments in your new shop. Subbed for continued updates. All The Best.

    I had made a project table. Legs were 2x6 nailed at a L shape at the corners and in the middle. I used T nuts and elevator bolts with a jam nut for leveling on all 6 legs. The top is jointed 2x4’s and 3 layers of MDF with the first layer sealed underneath. I found a roll of Formica in a 5x10 length at a local wood supply store a customer had ordered but never picked up. They made me a deal. I edge banded it all in maple. Then one day as I was beginning the remodel of my shop, I said to myself, self, you should use that project table as an outfeed table. It has been the best thing if done. I urge others to do the same. You won’t be sorry! I love the Formica top, glue just pops off. Stains clean right up. Seems indestructible. Well worth the money.

    Your original fence rail had a ground front surface, which is part of why it's so expensive. Your new one doesn't. That ground front edge is critically important because it's where the fence registers, so it has to be absolutely straight. Have you measured how straight that new front edge is? Any deviation from a straight line will cause your fence to deviate from parallel to the saw blade and miter slots.
