I am looking for plans or pictures of an auxiliary table sits on top of the way and interlocks below them I have seen it in a YouTube video so I know it can be done. I have a compound miter saw and separate jigsaw that I would like to use it, it would also allow me to use the existing shopsmith tables for sport.

If you have a 2nd carriage and table you could all ways set it up to be adjustable and it can be locked down , a fence can be locked down to the table extension and used as a stop . my .02
