Griff Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hey guys, I'm not sure if my title is 100% correct. I'm wanting to build on around the sides of my table saw to give me more support for ripping sheet goods. Also with built in storage below. I hope I'm explaining that well. I have 30in rip capacity on the right of the blades I've looked on YouTube for ideas. The guy from rockin H workshop has something similar to what going for. Thanks for any advice.

Tpt life Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Job site saw? Google "cabinet for job site tablesaw" and check the images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sounds to me like infeed and outfeed tables. Is it a cabinet saw or contractor saw? There are a thousand ways to build them, you have to find one that works for you. If you're cutting sheet goods, you need an outfeed table as well, or it'll fall off your saw before you finish your cut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 If your saw has its own cabinet, just build as many free standing cabinets as you need, and tie them together with a sheet goods top around the saw. It only has to be the same surface height, doesn't need to attach to the saw top. If you have a smaller saw, Shaffer's suggestion is spot-on.

Griff Posted November 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Mine is not a job site saw its more a hybrid saw its the delta from lowes the best tables aw you can get there. Imo. I have a out feed table already just want to basically extend the width of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 That is about as much surface area as most of us have on our saws. Ripping or cross cutting full sheets of sheet goods is just not easy or safe on a table saw. There is a reason most of us break down sheet goods before they hit the TS. That said, still take a look at job site saw cabinets. You "could" likely incorporate a lot of the same ideas to fit your saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandorLush Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I used this (http://www.finewoodworking.com/2007/08/17/rock-solid-plywood-bench) bench design and a solid core door for my table saw set up. It is tall enough to go over the jointer, the same level as the router table in the back and the blade is more than two feet from the post so I can still break down a full sheet if I want to use my table saw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davestanton Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 the mobile unit at the back can address that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 You can see my setup in the thread tilted shop tour dated Aug 28 2016.
