ChrisK Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Now building an outfeed table for my Sawstop. I got the top done, 1" sheathing that I edge banded with pine, glue and finish nails. I'll be adding a table runner and legs with wheels sometime this week, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Never have Protool! I had to look it up just to figure out what it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 So with this it appears I'll be making this top into a rolling outfeed assembly table. I'm planning on moving my Rolair compressor to this table and possibly adding some small part / tool drawers to include moving my Dado stack and other saw accessories right to the table. I have to size it accordingly as this spring will probably see me moving outside so I need to fit it out a narrow bulk head. It's funny when you sit down and start a new project and watch it flourish into something different. What was going to be 2x4 doubles up legs will end up being my second piece of shop furniture. My mobile sanding / assembly table is doing great but it's very narrow and tall so assembly isn't working out the way I wanted it to. This will be so what smaller but wider, ah......never plan anything, fly by the seat of your pants. My personal motto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm sure you will figure out what is best for you, the good thing is having the ability to make what you need and not rely on someone else to do it for you. good work chris.......its like opening up a business, for the first while you are working 100% for the business and then it finally starts giving back rewards.....

John Glassey Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's looking sweet Chris. You are blessed my friend. Keep up the great work on your out feed table.

WigWagWorkshop Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's one sweet tool, I been thinking of getting the DeWalt version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks a lot Wigwag! This one is the Domino DF500 which makes mortises for free floating tenons made out of solid beechwood or Sipo (though you can make them out of any hardwood).I just finished up the casement, she is perfectly squared. I used 24 dominos for this casement spaced approximately 4-5" apart. I glues and then used my Dewalt finish nailer to hold her in place as the plywood is about a year old and has warped slightly. Not too bad having it squared right center! I made a 28" box that will eventually have two drawers for parts for the saw. The second opening is going to be my compressor station. I will have my Rolair JC10 compressor and two air guns in there. The top will be removable and it will roll on 3" heavy duty rubber casters that lock individually. I'm going to let the cabinet dry up and play some BF4 and then head down in an hour or so and play some more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I will probably end up putting in another heavy duty shop power supply in there too. This is a pretty fun project all in all and is being built with left over supplies (minus the drawer runners I'll end up getting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 usually no woman no cry.....but in your case no woman no Domino.....awesome gift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Made some more progress this evening including the addition of a shelf, an extra wide drawer with 100 lb capacity and the casters. Coming along fairly swiftly now.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks Jimbo and Protool. I'll be adding a 3/4" backing to the unit and then add the top which I'll be able to be switched out as needed. The carcass will be the main stay for the unit with the added power strip. I'm thinking about adding a roll away line for my air hose but that might be wasteful. Although I built my work bench the year before last this is definitely going to double as my assembly table. All plywood on this unit and pretty solid to boot. Tomorrow I'll be sanding and adding a light finish and was to to the top. I ended up using the lions share of my last piece of plywood on the shelf and the over sized heavy drawer wo I'll have to pick up another sheet unless I can joint some scraps for the back. I've been making this entirely out of shop wood and haven't had to buy anything but more glue for this one. I'd like to keep it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
