Jay, I made a pair of these after seeing your first video. My fence guide is round so I took two pieces of PVC pipe cut with an opening large enough to snap over the guide. It has worked GREAT. Thank you for all those early videos.
How is it possible, after all the years I've been watching woodworking videos on youtube, that I've learned something new and highly valuable? Thanks for (re)sharing this - I'll be making some this week!
Excellent idea, and it got me thinking for my limited workspace.... why not another pair for the outfeed? Unfortunately, my two car garage has a 'wife' vehicle in it and especially during the colder winter months she doesn't want to park outside. So my space is rather limited, but the very first thing I thought was "yup, and another pair for outfeed'. Great info, thanks for sharing this.
@@brucewilliamsstudio4932 you know the answer don't you? lol "Your wife ain't going to like it" hahaha I was seriously dating someone years ago and we were looking at houses. I said "I don't really care about the rest of the house, that's all yours. Me? I get the basement and the garage. DEAL. OF course we were looking at one with a huge basement "I can put a sewing room over here and a craft room over here. EXCUSE me? this is mine, all mine. THAT'S NOT FAIR...you get the rest of the house what do you mean NOT FAIR?
Drill the hanging hole about 18in lower, so that it goes through the leg as well as the surface board. Then when you hang it the peg is supporting both, and the tape doesn't have to support the leg at all.
That's why a table saw with a slide is so bloody handy. But if you don't have one this is a brilliant upgrade which costs next to nothing and those are the best upgrades 👌🏻
These are great and the difference in saw heights is so easy to deal with using two piece legs with slots and a few bolts and wing nuts. Quickie to hang these up is to stagger the hangers to nest those big horizontal supports.
I made a pair of these a few years ago after I saw them in one of your videos. They're a real game changer when it comes to safety and material handling!
Hi Jay This one of the most USEFUL videos I have seen. I just made my set of table saw infeed support arms. I have a Ridgid R4520 table saw that has an extruded aluminum front rail, so I followed your advise and made a couple of saddles. I used the very end of the rail to draw the profile on a small piece of 1/4" MDF, turned it to a template, and routed two sets of 3 pieces of 3/4" MDF which I glued together to make both saddles. I used the dimensions you provided for the T square piece, and that was it. It is a great help in the shop. Now I can easily and safely handle large sheet goods. A million thanks. Saludos desde la Ciudad de Mexico.
Wow, am I glad the YT algo introduced this one to me. My garage is so small that building a tablesaw 'station' is not possible, but this is definitely going to be the answer I was looking for. I'm as chagrined for not thinking of this myself as I am pleased that you shared this ridiculously simple and effective work-around. Thanks for sharing!
About 20 years ago, I made four support pieces for my saw. I got the idea from a little Table Saw idea book by Taunton Press. My horizontal members are 1x10 pine, which stabilizes the left/right movement. Mine are only about 3’ long, great for a 48” board, but enough for a full sheet, with a little help. I just ripped a 4x8 sheet of 3/4” plywood last week. I just added a roller stand about 18” beyond the support boards - both infeed and outfeed. Very stable. The four supports hinge closed (two 1x2 legs each) and hang on a 3/4” dowel glued into a French cleat fixture on my tool wall. Those supports are my shop buddies.
I was just thinking about an infeed support. I saw one on another video. It was more extravagant, which means a longer build. This was awesome. LESS IS MORE! This will be what I'll make. Fabulous.
I always watch the same videos a few times and learn things I might have missed previously. No matter how old you get you are still learning. This front rest in this video is a great, helpful and necessary idea. I'm new to table saws I have just bought my first table saw and tried cutting a sheet of plywood but found it very hard to guide it straight in the direction of the blade. I will try making these front extensions and I think they might be ideal for the out feed also as they would be light and easy to store and easier to make. I'm in my 60s and just trying to learn things I loved and was good at in school but left in the past along with new things. Great video and great idea especially helpful to myself with Arthritis and other medical complications. And great for others to learn. Very well put together video as usual
Great to see these back again. I built mine years ago, so they’re “old style Jay”, but I love how they snugly “clamp” on to the fence rail. They don’t get used often, but are such a convenience and safety item to have hanging nearby the table saw when you need them…. I added a perpendicular 5” “foot” across each leg. I think it adds a bit of stability without being too big to get underfoot
My wife always says that half of the things I make in my shop are" FOR" the shop. I really can't argue that but these are the next project I'm gonna make. I can't imagine how many times they would have come in handy but I thank you for sharing this idea. Great job!
"make in my shop are" FOR" the shop" Correct response: "Honey, necessary for quality builds. Care to take a (2nd) job so I can quit mine to finish jigs sooner & get to my ‘honey-do’ projects." [Then again ‘correct’ 🤷🏻 ….I’m divorced.]
I'm like another of your subscribers, "Why did I never think of this before?" What a great Idea; am heading out to my shop to build a set of these. Again thank you so much!!!
been away from youtube awhile...saw your video....great idea... years ago i used your idea for garage shelves over the door....still using them...glad you are still on youtube
I feel somehow obligated to comment with: "Just buy a track saw." At least that's what folks tell me all the time. In reality, this is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" type of moments. Thanks, Jay!
I had a small laminated table about 30x24. it was a easy solution when your working under deadlines, just drag it over when need, and push aside when not in use. Works great for sheets and ripping. Though I didn't use it much for ripping, I was comfortable and skilled to walk a 10 to 12' board through a rip.
Making a strip canoe years ago I needed to rip 0.25” or 0.75” strips from 4/4 5/4 and 8/4 boards up to 18feet in length. Started out with a dozen rollers on infeed and another on outfeed. After struggling to keep everything level, aligned and stable I rigged up plywood topped supports just like you made. I wish I could have saved the time from making and rigging all those rollers, but every hour in the shop is ‘me time’ and a learning experience.
That idea is so simple and amazing! Who would have thought. Boom! I'm dumb founded. ❤ Life just got a whole lot better and most likely a whole lot happier!❤
Nice. I built your original set many years ago and still use them. My mod: I built some small MagSwitches into the tee to help hold them in place. Now I think I’ll build another set. 😁
I built a set of these, not quite the same design, to work with my jobsite table saw/table setup. Worked awesome and now can more confidentially break down large sheets. Thanks for the video!!
Jay you are not alone regarding unusual hinges; in the past I have used some of that heavy duty plastic strapping and strong staples to do a very similar job.
I could have really used these about 2 months ago. Was making a set of bookcases for a school counselor out of prefinished Birch ply and I normally lay out foam sheets on the shop floor and use a circular saw and cutting guide to cut to a manageable table saw size. Manager wasn't keen on doing that method, saying cutting it out on the ground was dangerous and I should just use the table saw. Follow the boss, right? It was a pain hoisting the 4x8 sheets up and cutting on the Delta Unisaw. I made sure that I gave plenty of slack so I could redo any cuts that had burn marks, blade marks and other mistakes made in manhandling those sheets. Took me double the time I would have taken if I used the foam and guide method.
Jay thank you for this! I built two of these last week for my Laguna table saw. But instead of using duct tape, I installed inexpensive hinges. Much better.
What a great jig and a safety guide as well. I just read that one of the comments that they had bought a Harvey sliding table, I'm glad that I saw this video first.
good idea and excellent execution. i like every detail from the choice of materials to the duct tape hinge. only thing i'd add is if you have a lot of infeed you probably could also use a fence extension to help align your cut BEFORE it gets near the blade
great idea. Where I have my saw I have a table the same height as the saw about 48 in front of the saw so I tilt my full sheets up on that. Only issue is I have to push from the side nut the front. Then once you get off that table you have to slip yourself behind the piece while you're feeding. I might make a pair of these.
built mine after seen your original one couple year ago, Added long vertical hook to the leg so I can flip full size plywwod from there side to flat. help a lot
oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its SO SIMPLE yet ive NEVER thought of doing this. i deal with full size sheets on every project... man handling them with the help of 1 roller thingamajig. this is a game changer
💯 💯 Jay. I figured out the “infeed support” totally by chance - building a custom kitchen on-site using an original Bosch 4000 tablesaw. Great little saw, produced professional results, but key word little. Figuring out a way to support big panels and even a big panel sled safely on that saw was a game-changer.
I want to suggest to build and use a fence extension when you handle big sheets on the table saw with these infeed supports. When you go into the cut only a small section of your sheet is supported by the fence. At least for my taste that is to wonky. A small lip under the fence extension can help to support the sheets weight even more.
@@grantman1148 Shure. Something like the gentlemen in these videos have build, but maybe even longer. th-cam.com/video/mWTWHMzA0D4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/BpPHy3CtyxE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Oa5D9WPjHrs/w-d-xo.html
I need to make some of these. I won't be able to accommodate a full, or even a half, sheet of plywood, as my shop is too small, but there are times that I need to rip longish boards that are pretty awkward for my SawStop Jobsite Pro saw. Being able to support the board so I can get everything set up before turning on the saw would be super helpful. Izzy Swan designed something sort-of similar, but his wouldn't fit on the SawStop JSP, so I had kind of given up on solving the problem and just fumble around when I have to saw longer boards. It leads to less than ideal cuts and frankly can be a little dangerous at times. I really hate having to cut anything long and try to avoid it as much as I can. Hopefully, I can adapt this design to my saw.
I've always had a custom built three legged saw horse for infeed. It's nice to have something that can be moved around easily and used for plywood or long rips.
That's so nice and timely Jay. Just yesterday I was re-watching your older infeed table video again and contemplating on building one for my saw. And you already have some improvements. Great. Also, duct tape as hinges - simply genius !! Keep up the great work ....!!
I also made these years ago after seeing your first video. Now we just need something that also incorporates Izzy's miter track extension and you'd have the best of both worlds for your panel/crosscut sled.
Deja-vu! I made a set of these based off your original video several years ago when I rebuilt my tablesaw. Have made use of them many times. I like the upgrade and will incorporate it into mine next chance I get.

I will have to make myself a set of those with some adjustable height legs. I move my saw from time to time and the ground in front of my table saw slopes away that varies depending on where I park it. Should be easy enough to add an adjustment knob to accommodate that. Thanks for posting & cheers from TX!
Sure after I fight with my sheets goods to finish a project, you come along and show me this. I will be making some, even if I don't need them. Thanks a bunch.
Excellent idea and great explanation. I will make a set for my new table saw when I get it.. I have a very tight workspace and this is a sensible work around. Thank you Jay.
Looks like a great addition. I will need to make some of these - they appear as though they could be very handy. Thanks for sharing another great idea.
Jay, I don’t know how I missed this episode but, it’s such a great tip for an older woodworker like myself. I do want to ask your advice re: handheld metal detectors. I have recently been fortunate to been given access to a 1930 era home that is being torn down. The home was constructed with true lumber sizes. I want to harvest as much as I can for future furniture projects but will need to locate any missed cut nails (yep, a million of them), 16p nails broken off, or metal buried in the tree (old bullets). Do you have any recommendations for such a device? Thanks in advance and congrats on your financial independence. Scott
I think this is an amazing idea, wow! To a season wood worker, it would be a snap to build. However, to a Nubi like myself? The wood has to be warp free and square. That is what makes this work! But what if you don't have a planer or a joiner. Still, I will try to make this amazing much needed idea. Better than building a in-feed and out-feed table. Thank you
What a great idea! Thanks, Jay! ...now...all I gotta do is figure out how to adapt this to my '60's vintage Delta table saw with the Jet-Lock fence. You know, the fence with the inch and three-eights diameter tube...😮
I wonder if you could make a 'universal' setup that used the miter slots...it doesn't seem like you'd be using a miter gauge or sled with pieces large enough to need the extra infeed support.

Jay, I don’t know how I missed this episode but, it’s such a great tip for an older woodworker like myself.
I do want to ask your advice re: handheld metal detectors. I have recently been fortunate to been given access to a 1930 era home that is being torn down. The home was constructed with true lumber sizes. I want to harvest as much as I can for future furniture projects but will need to locate any missed cut nails (yep, a million of them), 16p nails broken off, or metal buried in the tree (old bullets).
Do you have any recommendations for such a device?
Thanks in advance and congrats on your financial independence.

Jay helping wood workers work wood better!!
This is a super good idea. I need to figure out a way to get this to work on my unifence
I think this is an amazing idea, wow! To a season wood worker, it would be a snap to build. However, to a Nubi like myself? The wood has to be warp free and square. That is what makes this work! But what if you don't have a planer or a joiner. Still, I will try to make this amazing much needed idea. Better than building a in-feed and out-feed table. Thank you
This will work with junk pallet wood. Just sand the top surfaces smooth. Perfectly flat isn't a requirement
Thanks JAY! This is simply helpful!
An absolutely brilliant idea. Thank you.
Thanks Jay for the very useful tip and plans! 😃
I also made mine from the earlier video. They work like a charm!😊
This is gold! Thanks for sharing this tip!
And to think I just bought a Harvey slide because I have such a hard time with full sheets
What an awesome idea, don't know why I haven't seen that before, but now I know my next table saw build.
Great idea Jay. I’ll make mine first thing tomorrow morning.
What a great idea! Thanks, Jay! ...now...all I gotta do is figure out how to adapt this to my '60's vintage Delta table saw with the Jet-Lock fence. You know, the fence with the inch and three-eights diameter tube...😮
I wonder if you could make a 'universal' setup that used the miter slots...it doesn't seem like you'd be using a miter gauge or sled with pieces large enough to need the extra infeed support.
What a great idea. I'm going to make these for my saw.
Fantastic safety feature!
Fantastic,fantastic, fantastic!!!
That is a great solution, thank you for sharing
Now your just showing off 🤣that is my favourite build this year it’s so simple I feel stupid I didn’t think of it cheers for bringing that on board
So simple. Brilliant! Thanks
So simple but so smart
Dude, that is brilliant. Thanks for sharing! I also have a few of those same hinges in my shop!
Super great idea, it’s now on my must do list
Excellent idea - cheers from Australia too
Jay, thank you for this excellent and very practical idea!!
Thanks, Jay!
