Shopsmith Forums

Thanks for the comment Dusty, and for Doc's solution. After seeing that, I may see if I can find another table to do one for the in-feed side. As for the height of the original stand, tried it out with my miter saw, and I would have needed that much adjustment anyway. The raiser legs are also helpful when I used the planer. It is a lot more stable this way. I still would like to get a table with the miter slots in it to fasten to the SS table and to my 510 so that I have something similar to your solution. I am also going to put a storage shelf or drawer into this stand. As soon as we get above 10 degrees!:eek:

I stumbled across SeaWolf's site yesterday while looking fot SPT storage ideas. He has a bunch of neat stuff, but the thing I liked the best was his infeed table:

He also has some info about using the wixey planer height guage on the shopsmith planer, and some cool spt/shop storage stuff.

note: some of the links for his images are busted. Remove the extra stuff below if you can't see the image. http://seawolfproductions.com/SeaWolf%20Blog/Seawolf%20Blog/Roller%20Bracket3.jpg

Can I take my pictures Off? What a nice solution!

Thank you ED in Tampa, I googled the Rigid Outfeed but found nothing; went to Home Depot's home page and found nothing; went to Home Depot two miles away and very dusty, beneath the lowest shelf, hidden behind a center display ... I barely found three of them. They looked like they were last year's last year stock. I bought two. I didn't realize they were called Rigid Flat Top. Perfect for in and out feed and packs flat away (my shop is small). Thanks for the idea.

This is the sort of thing that I have always done and I doubt will ever change. If you need something from me, ask and if there is anyway that I can participate and share - I will.

Using the outfeed table as an example, I have placed everything that one needs to duplicate my work right here on this forum. If someone wants one similar to mine, it is available to them.

If there is not enough detail there, ask and it shall be provided as best I can.

The outfeed table is just an example. I would do the same with almost anything we could come up with.

Hmm, selfless, honest, generous...

sheesh, it takes all kinds, don't it...

;-)

I wanted an outfeed table that was cheap, easy to make, easy to put on & take off, and would adjust when the table was raised or lowered. It's cantilevered from the connecting tubes. It works with the long or short tubes. I can add or remove it in under a minute. Works fine for bevel cuts as too.

I cut all the notches on a 2 x 4 then ripped it into two pieces with the band saw and attached the cross members. The table itself is pw with Formica glued to it.

I have two sets of cross members. On one set the unit 'hugs' the main table. With the other set (shown) I have room to add a floating table on either side of the main table and slip the outfeed unit around it.

It looks like it should work fine...as long as you never want to use the miter gauge with it installed.

You might want to consider cutting some dadoes in the outfeed table to provide clearance for the miter bar.
