Adjustable leg height for Mark V

You wouldn't need a height adjustable outfeed table if the shopsmith headstock was adjusting in height. You could do what so many TS uses do and create a static height cabinet with storage as your outfeed.

I remembered this from another forum but I don't know how the final cabinet turned out. http://home.comcast.net/~tegger/sscabinet.html Maybe scissor jacks could be used instead of hydraulic lifts.

That is more along the lines I was thinking about. I pointed out the commercial table only as a catalyst to get the creative juices flowing. I would certainly not spend the money on the commercial versions.

I think a scissor jack, bottle jack or even jack screws could be used to make an adjustable stand.
