Shopsmith Forums

Someone just posted a nice outfeed table over on the Shopsmith customer service FB page. Not dramatically different from some that have been posted here but I like the fact that the design doesn't interfere with the rip fence or head stock.

I'm going to post a couple of pics here.
You can see the cut out for the headstock on the left support bracket. And he has a picture on the FB page of the rip fence straddling the right support bracket.

I like the idea, but I wonder if he has to use a support to the floor on the end of it. Basically the outfeed table is cantilevered out and those support runners only attach to it with like 1" of material it looks like.

He says no support leg necessary. Several of us have built cantilevered tables like this and it does work. But, yes, I'm sure if you put enough weight only on the outfeed there could be issues.
