Original thread with modifications to the fence here: https://www.festoolownersgroup.com/other-tools-accessories/upgraded-my-dw745/
After doing a bit of research I decided I wanted more from my table saw setup. This little DW745 is the such a capable saw but it is severely lacking without an outfeed table. I wanted something fast to setup. .portable, and something that didn't take up any of my valuable floor space in my 12x16 shop. My searching led me to DeWalt's DW7440RS rolling stand for jobsite table saws. People said the saw ended up around 35.5" from the floor on this stand so I bit the bullet and bought one and assembled it yesterday. For me it ended up at just about 880mm floor to table saw top. As anyone in the Festool world knows 900mm is the height they set most of their tools to. MFT/3, CMS table, MW1000 attached to an MFT/3 etc. After checking my scrap plywood pile I found I had some 9mm and 18mm BB. I cut it to size, drilled some holes, and now my saw sits at about 905mm by rough measurement. I can use this setup in my small shop with an MFT/3 or take it outside and do the same. Shown is a drop of 6mm but this particular MFT has a bent leg and a non-functional height adjuster. Throw in my foam flooring and the math gets a bit wonky but it should do nicely.
Before anyone says the gap is too big for an outfeed keep in mind I am using the Jessem guides on the fence which hold the material tight to the bed while it goes through the blade. I do have some leg levelers that I can fit in the MFT/3 legs if I really want to get it dead on but I don't see the need at this time.
I hope this helps
Matt
Previous setup, takes too long to put up/take down but allows for a dead level outfeed:
New setup stows nicely and is really easy to pull out and tuck away:
