Now you are catching on. It likely won't be the final socket but it will allow the concept to make it into testing. As you well know, it is in testing where most all designs are finalized.

Re: Outfeed Table
One nice benefit to my front-and-back rail outfeed table design that came in handy last weekend - when making angle cuts on long stock, I can shift the table off to the side to hold the stock where it would hang off the edge of an extension centered on the main table. Worked well!

Re: Outfeed Table
Now the is right handy. I don't often did that sort of support but if I do, I don't have it with my OFT.kkoyle wrote:One nice benefit to my front-and-back rail outfeed table design that came in handy last weekend - when making angle cuts on long stock, I can shift the table off to the side to hold the stock where it would hang off the edge of an extension centered on the main table.

Re: Outfeed Table
Yes, I could mount my OFT in an offset position and support the outfeed side of the table with a third leg (telescopic leg) but the most significant feature of my OFT was to avoid that type support. The blessing here is that this offset setup will seldom be required.JPG wrote:Bet you can figure out a way with a 'desocketable' ball joint.dusty wrote:Now the is right handy.

Re: Outfeed Table
This is off topic but thought I would jump in here and show you guys my out-feed table. Unfortunately I can't tilt this old Mark VII to handle a 45 degree cut but anyway it works a little.
I think I could turn the Mark VII sideways and tilt it's table but that is a little too much trouble

Re: Outfeed Table
I just spotted your post. This is an outstanding design. That table is rock solid. Now I have an idea of the General direction I want to go. Excellent job! This would impress my father. No easy task.

Re: Outfeed Table
All these ideas for infeed/outfeed table extensions got me to finally doing something about this. Every time I have to start with a new 4x8 sheet of plywood, I wish I had a larger work surface. So, I put together two extensions for that purpose. They can be used either as infeed or outfeed. I'll use them a few times and if I'm satisfied with them, I will likely make two more so I can put them side by side for a wider cutting surface for those large sheets of plywood. Mine are really simple and lightweight so they are easily installed and removed and can be hung on a large nail on the wall.

Re: Outfeed Table
Nice job. They might be heavier than is really needed but still a very nice job and a great addition to your Shopsmith. The outfeed table is something that I believe is needed on every machine.
I like yours but I would be lying if I did not acknowledge that I am very pleased with mine as well. The single advantage (from my point of view - biased though it is) is that there is absolutely no fuss when I need to raise or lower or tilt my outfeed table. I worked on the concept and implementation of my OFT for nearly a year. I expected one more iteration so it never received a finish (not even a wax job) but I am still using it nearly six years later.
