8'x4' Saw Table

[Woodwork Wizard]

900mm high 8'x 4' saw bench with 15mm MDF sacrificial top. 3000 guide rail with parallel guides attached permanently because assembly of those things to rail is something I'd rather do without. Guide rail is safely stored 2' from saw bench.

Include a TS-55R and a CT-36. The best (I mean my favourite) but certainly the safest table saw I've ever had. No dust, no mistakes, no chocolate underpants pushing an 8'x4' sheet anymore.

WWW that looks like it weighs a ton. I'm guessing you don't move it much.

If I had the room it would be awesome. Maybe when I get back to the states and get my shop sorted I'll build me one

Looks great.  I went with 3 feet by 7 feet to have some overhang on sheet goods for clamping and to better fit into my shop.

I frequently push the 15mm cutting tabletop off and stand it up against the wall behind it. The MFT table beneath it is seriously heavy so it gets dragged on to the saw horses which is manageable. Turning the MFT over to use with the parallel guides extensions is a bit scary but I can just about manage it by myself.

It's an extremely sturdy bench. I reckon it could take the weight of a car parked on it.
