Great build sir! I have looked at TONS of cart builds for my Dewalt portable and I like how yours is quite compact. I work out of my garage as well and don’t have tons of room. Great simple explanations too. Thank you!!
Thank you! I really appreciate your remarks. I’ve tried to make my garage more useable as a shop while not taking up space. Check out my video titled “DIY Fold Down Work Bench.” It’s one of my favorite space saving projects. I use it all the time. Thanks again!
Excellent video thank you very much. I need to make a table like this for my first table saw that I just bought. I watched a lot of videos until I finally found this one which is the best of all. You are one of the best teachers on the internet, your ideas are extremely good, thank you for helping us who are just starting out.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope your stand turns out great. You will be very happy to have a stand for your saw. It makes a huge difference.
Great idea of setting a table saw stand. Simple enough for me to make one. Easy to move around the shop. Will function well. Sturdy enough for hobby wood working like me. Thank you for sharing. You are a great teacher!
I’ve been looking at all the job site saw cart builds and this one is great. Was about to give up on the idea of the attached outfeed table but you got it right. I’m with you. No plans needed get the idea and start building.
Nice and simple design. You really explain how to make it. But, you forgot about the riving knive removal arm. You should cut out the side panel for it. I would also make something to fix the tablesaw in always the same exact position. I would also prepare a solution to be able to precisely set the foldable panel to level with the top of the saw. You can also buy a pair of folding console.
Nice video. I just bought a Dewalt table saw. This is a pretty good outfeed setup. In my case I might not need the outfeed table because I have another table that I can just roll the saw right in front of to use as an outfeed table. Very instructoral video!
@@Ray_Here Your welcome. I appreciate reviews like yours because I can fully understand how the thing is constructed without having to have written instructions. I made a mitre saw stand that I probably could have put on Utube...because it was customized to my taste. Anyway thanks for your video again. Looking forward to more.!
Why do you need the side on it? Seems like it would work just as good or better without the sides. I just bought the same saw. Plan to build a table this weekend. Thanks
Please watch this video about how I upgraded my stand. th-cam.com/video/uB6g0BmMJB0/w-d-xo.html These additions make the saw much more useable. I think you will have to have the sides to make the additions. Otherwise, you are correct. You don’t have to have the sides.
The other video describes the need for the side very well. Thanks for the fast reply. I hit the subscribe button! Great woodworking tips, and thanks for the links to the hinges on the other video. I ordered them for my saw table project. My table should look a lot like your upgraded table.
Are the termite blocks in the bottom for counterweight before you added the legs? Could you have made the sides as low as the support for the outfeed table to to better allow you to get your hands in there when you set the saw down? Also... great idea! One of the best I've seen for the DW745!!
Good eye Sean. When I first made the out feed table with the brace underneath, it could tip. The blocks prevented that. The out feed is screwed to the sides near the top. I appreciate the comment!!
Thank you for an excellent walk-thru on your table saw stand and outfeed table. You have a great way of explaining things to your audience. I want to build a table like this but, being new to woodworking, I don't know how to build a frame. I don't see 2x4's, so that doesn't appear to be your method. Are you screwing and gluing the plywood together? Thanks again!
Glad you liked the video and thanks. I used 3-4” plywood. The sides sit on top of and are screwed to the base. Then the sides are screwed together. Be sure to drill pilot holes. I usually drill a large enough hole in the piece I’m going through so the screw goes right through without having to screw it through. Then drill a smaller pilot hole into the piece your screwing into. Part of the back and all of the front (the side you face when you use the saw) are open so they will need a brace. I used 1x2 boards on the insides and the back to hold the platform for the saw. In the front I screwed an additional 1x2 the platform support boards and the sides. That gave me 4 supports for the platform and held the sides in place. I hope I didn’t confuse you. Watch the video again and look for those things, if I did. Don’t hesitate to ask, if you have more questions. Also, I did use glue. Sometimes I put parts together with screws first and then take them apart, add glue and screw back together. I often do that when I’m trying something new and unsure if I’m doing it right!
@@Ray_Here Thanks very much for the clarification. I viewed the video for about the 12th time and I "get" the support you have used in the design. I'm ready to give it a shot. Thank you so much.
What is the name of the fence you have where you can dial it in and it's supported on both sides? I have s Skil table saw and it's fence is pretty terrible and imprecise
Hi! The fence came with the Dewalt portable saw. I’v been very happy with the Saw. I have found the fence to work very well. Also, please check out my most recent stand updates. They really came out great! Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/uB6g0BmMJB0/w-d-xo.html
Sorry Andrew. There are no plans. I usually just look at the project and make it up as I go. Thanks for the comment. Also, thanks for subscribing. I'm pretty excited to have a subscriber from across the pond! I watch a lot of camping videos from over there. I think you call it wild camping. Beautiful country!
Great functional build, and something I will base my stand on once my Dewalt saw arrives. So many great ideas here, thank you for this video. Just a question, please; I was considering using mdf panels on a 2x4-based frame for added weight and stability, but you've made extensive use of plywood. How does your stand handle vibrations when operating this specific saw model?
I have never noticed any vibration issues. Mdf should be fine. I just happened to have plywood laying around. My out feed table is msf that I wrapped with 1x2 pine to protect the edges.
Thanks for the comment. Recently I upgraded the wheels to 5”. Here is the description from Amazon, if you want to look for them. D&L 5 Inch Plate Casters Wheels 1800lbs Heavy Duty Casters with Brake Polyurethane Dual Locking Casters Set of 4 Orange DL-I5-001 I also have a two cart upgrade videos that may be useful. Look for the most recent one that I did. If that looks like more than you want then look at the older one. I’m very happy with the stand and the most recent upgrades. Good luck!
I have to ask, why are the side panels so high? if they were shorter, the placement of the saw would be less critical. I don't see that they add anything structural to the stand. It seems to me they could be 2" above the saw platform and that would be plenty to hold the saw in place. This would also allow eaiser access to the storage locations and the cord, particularly with the newer version of this saw. Thanks!
Good observation. I made mine that high because I wanted to have something to attach the out feed table to. There is a second video out there where I add a side wing to support wider pieces. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Let me know, if this doesn’t make sense.
@@Ray_Here I can see where the back panel, or at least part of it, needs to be at the level of the table to support the back feed extension that you used, so that makes sense. With a saw this size I'm still pondering if I need or want side extensions. My saw is the newer one that has bigger "feet" so I decided to make the sides even with the base and add a couple of boards similar to what you did to keep the saw in place. Again, thank you - this is definitely the nicest stand for this saw that I've found.
8:11 - What if you had the extension held by 2 levers? Like you said, it's not meant to handle 2x6 8 feet board - but things half that (4 feet boards) can be safely held by 2 levers.
I originally had one lever in the Middle of the extension the cantilevered back to the stand. If you. It a 4’x2’ 3-4” plywood. It was still too heave and I had to offset the weight with bricks in the front of the stand. I didn’t like it. Good thought though!
I'm on here looking for mobile table saw stand ideas. Your content is very helpful.

I just subscribed! I have the same table saw and this is just what I was looking for. Nice build!
Thank you. Watch this update. It really improves the stand. Good luck on your build! th-cam.com/video/uB6g0BmMJB0/w-d-xo.html
This is an awesome set up for the Dewalt job site table saw. I love it, great design.
Thank you. It works great,
I’m getting ready to buy my first tablesaw End it needs to be portable this is a great idea
Thank you Frank. Check out my video about adding a side wing to cut wider pieces. Thanks again and I hope your cart turns out great!

I think about it often. One of these days I’ll get it done! Probably something similar to the out feed table. Thanks for watching!
Just got around to adding a side wing. Check out my rolling table saw stand update video.
@@Ray_Here thank you, watching now.
💪🏾
Thanks!
How do you handle that collects under the saw ?
I just vacuum on occasion. I usually vacuum every time I end the days work anyway.
