Very Limited Space

My SS is parked between two cars in the garage. I keep everything in some cabinets against the wall or in a cabinet below the SS but everything is crowded. Several years ago I picked up an adjustable hospital bedside table to use as an outfeed table. It was constantly in the way. I finally got around to finding a better solution. Everything is made from whatever was at hand except for the two eyebolts ($10 at Ace) and the tripod from Goodwill ($4). I've seen a lot of these in thrift stores lately .

The outfeed table can be turned around to sit on top of the main table. The runners keep it locked so it doesn't move and it makes a good workspace that won't damage the main table. The tripod folds up and goes in a cabinet. Maybe this will be helpful for others with limited space.

Please clarify the question. Not sure what you are asking.

A 'typical' outfeed table has grooves for the miter gauge bar to travel into when the bar extends beyond the rear of the saw table.

I do not see them in yours.

There's your answer. This is an atypical outfeed table. Not much typical about it. In fact with the tripod it doesn't move much less typ. :)

So I have to assume the plane of the outfeed table is at least 5/16"? below the plane of the saw table.
