portable table saw out feed

[Alan m]

hi there.
i recntly bought a dewalt 745 table saw and stand.
its a great saw and the stand is great for moving it around on site.

the only draw back with it is that there is no out feed suport to support the material  (a problem with all theses saws not just the dewalt.
anyway.
i want to build or buy an outfeed table .
i want it to clip or slot onto the back of the saw but be very small and light weight.
possibly with 2-3 rolers etc to help move the material.

i have seen pic of ones but they are enourmus and take up too much space in the van.
i would like some thing like the kapex ug wings but wider  and no lip.

has anyone built or seen anything like this

thanks alan

On my table saw and band saw i made folding extension tables based on shelf pegs.
Say your outfeed table is 18mm thick and has legs at the rear end attached with a hinge. Then just attach a strip of wood at the rear of your saw, 18mm lower than the table, and drill two peg holes in it, and on the underside of your extension table drill two matching holes and glue a peg in it. This way you can easily remove the extension table and fold it. no need for any complicated lip profiles.
And on the bottom of the legs you can use adjustable knobs, but since mine are stationary i just used bolts.

Heres a lumberjocks post about it

The DW745 is an awesome little saw - I love mine!
The rack-and-pinion fence makes bracketing something to its back a little more challenging, though not impossible.

I have been meaning to get one of the Rousseau stands for it.
In the meantime (aka the last three years) I set up a SYS4 (or a Sys3 + Sys1) behind it and it works fine.  If it's a really long piece, I sometimes set one up behind me on the infeed side as well!

the systainers would work without the stand .
