I have needed to build an outfeed table for over a year. I also am tired of using my table saw as a workbench. I replaced my stairs last year with a new set of oak stairs. I saved as much of the lumber as I could from the old stairs. I decided to make an outfeed table using as much of that lumber as I could.
Here is the pile of lumber I have
I set my Robland combo machine up
Here are the pieces I selected for stretchers
Douglas Fir 4X4X8 cut in half for the legs
I cut my wood to rough length then it’s onto the jointer
Cutting the legs to length
Stretchers are now cut to length
I cut dados in the legs for the stretchers. I had to do it the long way with many table saw passes since I don’t have a dado blade.
That’s it for now. I will post more later

I share your pain of not having a dado stack for the table saw. It works, but man is it slow.

Yeah it was really slow considering how many I had to do and how thick I was making them. Oh well I got it done and they came out okay.

Adam that is correct. My wife was nice enough to get me that and the wonder fence for Christmas last year. I am hoping to get a dado this year. I am saving of for the Forrest dado. Not cheap.
Have your say...
