My Festool Table Saw Cabinet

Love the locking miters.  Nice use of space and layout. How much more efficient does it make you?
 
Very nice.  Did you just get color matched latex paint for the green or did you manage to find a close shade in a spray bomb?
 
[member=64115]Bubbacuse77[/member] ,  I color matched both at Sherwin Williams.  Brought a systainer to the store.  The green was spot on, the beige is a little off but close enough.  Latex, semi-gloss
 
Bought my Unisaw over 30 years ago ... I finally got around to building a cabinet for TS accessories this year. The table saw cabinet is on the right, with an out feed table behind the TS. A router top extends from the right of the table saw, in addition to the TS top itself, it is also supported by two sets of legs. One set of legs extends down to the mobile base, the other set extends to the floor. (I dont move the TS anymore [smile]) The router enclosure, below the top, is free-standing with levelers on each side so that it can be snuggled up to the bottom of the router table top. The enclosure does not provide any support; and has a removable front panel to provide for access to the router. All router bit changes are done from above the table surface, so I haven’t had any reason to get in there to date. Under the router enclosure theres room for sliding tray storage for table saw blades and dado sets. The four drawer cabinet provides storage for table saw and router attachments. The Incra fence, as shown, is positioned for use at the table saw. In this position it can also be used for limited work at the router, about 5” between the router and the fence. If additional space is needed, the fence is moved to a pre-positioned stop location at the far right end of the rail system, this gives me approximately 18” between the router cutter and the fence.

I don't know why I waited so long to build a cabinet to hold all my TS accessories in one place.

Nice setup. I see a magnetic featherboard stuck to the face of your
Unisaw, same place I keep mine.

Is the footswitch for the router?

Bob D - Yes the foot switch operates the router ... allows me to use both hands at the table. The foot switch is wired  in series with an on/off toggle switch mounted just under the table top. I use the toggle switch to cut power to the foot switch and router during blade changes.
I agree, I really like the magnetic feather board. Its easier to setup so i tend to use it more often. I've bought a couple of those magnetic switches and used them to make a bandsaw fence to resaw stock ... much easier then using clamps to hold down the fence.
