Shopsmith 500 outfeed?

Post by ibskot »

Any good ideas for an extension table that can connect to my table? I Google and saw many ideas for a stand but I'd like a table to connect like I have seen on the other newer saws. I thought I could use the bolts underneath but those apparently are for the drill press stops.

Ideas/pics would be greatly appreciated.

Which '500' table? There are small variations from the Mark 5 to the 500.

My goldie has tapped holes in large bosses in the miter slots near the back edge. What I believe is a more 'modern' vintage has small bosses in that area. Another of unknown vintage has no bosses there. It came with a greenie trunion attached, but only has the single slot.

In any event the back edge does not lend itself well due to the rip fence clamping to that edge.

I think any 'attaching' need be done from the bottom(sides???) with clearance for the rear rip fence clamp.
