Tips for making table saw bigger?

The table saw is from the early 50’s. Sorry, I forgot to include that.

-- Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.

there are ton of people that extended the size of the table saw surface here.

do a search for “outfeed table” “extension table” and “table saw station” you’ll get more than plenty ideas the least.

Welcome to Lumberjocks, and hope you have a great journey in woodworking. sounds like you’ve got a good start

this one that daved posted is a nice one i’d go with that or do what a1jim said and buy a bigger one.

Brad,
with respect to storage I made my tablesaw bigger…. I replaced the phenolic extension with a router table (formica surfaced MDF). If you upgraded the fence and rails on your saw this could easily be done.

I’m nearly done with my upgrade ….

When I had a small portable, I built this to give me more working area. You could easily modify this to include more outfeed space as well.

There are some excellent suggestions above, but for me the 8” blade size would be a problem. All depends on the type of projects you will be doing.

It all depends on your saw. I have the Ryobi BT3100 with the wide rails, so I added an extension wing / router table to the wide rails, and behind the saw, I added a workbench with the total height 1/16” lower than the table saw to act as an outfeed table. So far it is all working perfectly…

You can see pics of my setup in my workshop page.

It’s not the size of your table saw that counts, it’s what you do with it…

Charlie, I like what you did for that Ryobi.

I have a cheap, 10” ryobi and wanted a quick outfeed support table. I just use Roller stands purchased from home depot or lowes for around $20 each. Buy two, set the height slightly lower than the table saw, and you can roll your work off the saw onto the rollers. Or even better, make a stand and buy the roller ball strips from rocker, that way you can use it from the side to for large pieces of plywood.

Brad, You can check mine out on my workshop page. Not a great pic but it will give you an idea.

Dear BGerrits
Daved and charliem1958 have the right design for you. By removing the legs on most contractor saws and building the table and saw in to one unit supported by 4 casters, you have the ability to move the whole unit around. Also better fit around the saw top too. The last one I built I thought about a way to adjust the fit between the new table and the saws top. Good luck

Hello all im new as well to wood working and have aquired a delta 10 in table saw. I want to make some dado cuts but the stand is very narrow maybe a foot and a half off the right side of the blade. I think its a type of contractor saw with an aluminum top. As is now there is not enought with to make my dado cuts with my fence. Should i buy another saw or could i make this one work by adding some kind of extension?
