Out Feed Table

Rueben. ... I am AMAZED that I still have that book, considering I just moved. I had completely forgotten about and now remember I made some of the extra accessories including the cart for my planner.
Thanks again
Danny

Danny,

This is what I was thinking.

Obviously ditch the rollers and modify the top a bit--either secure it to the outfeed end of the auxiliary table and do the dance of trying to adjust both at once, or make some interlocking cleats or something on the top of the stand and the bottom of the outfeed end of the auxiliary table. You really just need support for downward forces, which the stand provides, and the ability to withstand enough lateral force as the work piece is being fed to keep things from shifting on you, which some cleats should give you.

Here is a solution we used years ago in our first cabinet shop which was started with a Mark V as our only stationary tool. We had space for one 4'X8' work bench and the SS. We built a bench for the SS at the 8' end of the table that when the SS table and the work table were aligned to the same height the cutting depth of the SS was set for cutting 1/4" ply. We made spacers to fit under the end castings from 1/2" and 3/4" ply and would lift up the ends and place them under the SS to allow for table height adjustment for the different materials. I will say it was set up for 3/4" material most of the time and we just lived with the difference for most cutting. It also allowed us to go to drill press mode and align the table heights which made drilling cabinet doors easier with the larger table. The method works well for a small shop. The SS was fastened to a piece of 3/4" ply and the spacers put under the ply. That allowed us to move the SS left and right along the table for different purposes. We fastened the SS to the ply with carriage bolts and then used 3 inch grabbers to fasten the whole thing including spacers to the bench. Over the years as we grew and grew ending up with thousands of square feet and that Mark V and table set was there and being used up to the very end. It was our primary tool for drilling euro hinges.
