SawStop Folding Outfeed Table

The Folding Outfeed Table in this video was made for my SawStop table Saw - but it could apply to most other cabinet saws.
The folding hardware I used was " Wallmaster 24inch Folding Shelf Brackets " from Amazon. www.amazon.com...
The idea to do this video came to me after I put the saw up for sale . Several people inquired as to the folding table. I shot this footage on the fly before the saw was picked up and left the shop.

What you showed was perfect. Really apprecaite you taking the time to share what is working for you with the sawstop. I have a very long workbench that I made using 4 of these identical folding brackets so that there would be no legs in the front. This way I can slide my jointer under this bench when not using it. So much wasted space above some of these large pieces of equipment. The brackets worked out perfectly. I never fold them down but gave me the legless front I needed. I'm going to make this outfeed table this weekend. Thank you again Darrell.

This is definitely the best design I've seen for a folding table on the SawStop. The dust collection port sticking out the back causes problems with a lot of other designs, which is solved by offsetting the way you did. The fact that this offset also provides a "useful-minimum outfeed" when folded down makes the saw more useful for a lot of cuts without needing to raise the extension.
Frankly, given the way the dust collection port sticks out the back, building that small offset outfeed table is probably a good idea just to stop yourself from tripping over the dust collector hose, the fact that it also makes a terrific mounting point for the folding extension is just a bonus.
I appreciate the level of detail you provided, it's perfect for me to understand the key points you considered and loop them into my own attempt. (In particular, the way you've used gravity to wedge against the saw, and that "final adjustment" point against that leg seems like a brilliant way to dial in the angle of the table). I'll also say that I looked at a few different brackets, but the ones you linked to appear to be the best for this sort of project (high strength, reviews say they are actually robust, and quite affordable), the only downside people mentioned was that when folded they have a "thick offset" from the wall when folded down, and one person pointed out the Rockler version of these sorts of folding table hinges had a shallower depth when folded... but those are almost twice the cost. I suspect I can compensate for that extra thickness by just setting the "fake wall" back from the edge of the "offset outfeed table" a couple of extra inches, and make the folding top a couple inches shorter on the hinge side, so that the thickness of the hinges sits below the "offset outfeed table" when folded.

Hey Darrell - Nice idea and thanks for sharing the concept. Hope to see you in CT again

Thank you for posting this Darrell. I’ve been procrastinating about building something like this for my SawStop for a couple of years now. 👍🏻

You’re welcome Charlie!

Thank you! I did a smaller version of this a few months back on my own. It's not sturdy enough. I'm not great at coming up with my own ideas but I am good at taking what others have done and applying it to my scenario. I believe you said "concept". I happen to have the same saw so I'm sure I'll be doing something similar. I don't want to screw into or mar up the finish on my saw either. Again, thank you!

You're welcome , Mike!

Shop size effects the choice of cabinet with storage or a folding table personally. More space just feels nice and you likely do not need more storage. Everyone is different and this is a great design.

[@DarrellPeartFurnitureMaker]

very true - thank you!

[@driftlessjoinery5059]

Exactly what I needed to see. Thanks for posting.

I hoped you would release a video on the folding outfeed table after I saw your excellent shop tour video. Many thanks for sharing, Darrell! Great design. I will replicate this for my Sawstop.

thanks, Sergey. I am glad the video was of help!
