Cut Table

[timcgibbs]

I was hoping one of you more familiar with the forums history would be able to point me towards some of the threads that cover different sheet goods breakdown tables.  I know Steve Jones posted some great info a few years ago - Are there other posts I should check out?

Thanks, -Tim

Hi Tim,I just made one out of a pingpong table,i needed it to be compact,i shortened it to 90" and 42",crossbraced the legs , beefed up the wheels and top, and fit some 1.5" styro to the top,ill try to post some pics soon.sizing under a full sheet allows you to clamp to the sheet ,so far i like it,and you can just fold one side down if you want.go to search and type cut table and I'm sure you will get a lot of hits,Ive seen some great idea's here.

the easiest answer is just to search cutting table on the search function.I think the design has become pretty well refinedI know of at least 10-20 of us who have made them  mine is 50"x14'  this allows me to stack sheets at one end  make both rip and crosscuts on the table.

These 3 videos are about the parallel guides, but feature a table that I have copied and love. I just use mine on sawhorses instead of dedicated legs. Pay attention to the fact that it is the same height as a pickup's bed, so you can just slide sheet goods out of the truck, onto the table, and never lift one of those back-breakers again.
