I did not use the the telescoping leg as directed, I used 1 inch electrical conduit with a inline connector that fitted into the coupler (removed one screw and filed it smooth), a rigid to flexible connector Note the inside diameter is the same as the 3/4 rod. (I cut the threads off and filed off the nibs so it slid into the conduit), and a 3/4 x 12 inch long threaded rod with nut. This is a very stable extension that adjusts with the table. See attached pictures.
Real nice implementation. I have one question though. Assuming that the outfeed table is coplanar with the Main Table when sitting horizontal, what did you do to keep it coplanar when you tilt the table.
