    New collapsable wide table and extension

    Well, Im sure the first thing your all going to say "its huge". Yes but collapses quite nicely. I used R.Kirby's design for table tops. Then used some galvanized pipe from Home Depot to make the adjustable legs. The legs fold under table for storage. The table out feed will stay perminantly on. The wide table extension with its own out feed could stay all in one piece but Im afraid it would be a finger pincher!!

    I can give more pics if you like. Sorry for so many pics but dont have a web page to refer you too

        Excellent work, Richard.

        NOW the challenge is to keep it that clean [)]

              Outstanding, Rick. Worthy of a detailed article/plan to be added to the Jigs section.

                I agree, please write it up. Lots of room. How much does it weigh.

                  Ditto. You now have me scrapping out the wooden legs I have on the left side of the saw and looking at using pipe instead.

                          Love the split outfeed tables! Exactly what I've been wanting to do.

                              I am curious that with the weight of the out feed tables hanging down from the rails (without the legs) have you had any problems with rail distortion. They look really great!
