I was all set to reinvent the wheel and lo and behold, you came across with exactly what I need. Couple of changes I plan to incorporate; 1. Adjustable table height so I can adapt it to whatever Saw I end up getting and numeral two. Retractable casters that pop up inside the cabinet when the saw is in use. There are lots of people online that have come up with clever ways to do this, but from what I can tell Carl Holgren was the OG on that idea. Checked out the plans and the price is reasonable so I'll be picking those up as well.
This is absolutely what I needed Zack I’ve got that same saw and getting ready to move and not sure how much room I’m going to have so this will be perfect. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for always doing great builds. I have a bunch of your plans and have built your workbench carts I use them for my garden plants. I am planning on making a bunch more of those only shorter because I am short and didn’t make them short enough in the first try.
Coincidentally I just added drop down table extensions to my full size table saw yesterday. The locking scissor hinges make the setup very portable and collapsible. I was pleased to find some 20" scissor hinges on Amazon rated for 600 lbs. While this is a reasonably sturdy setup, I think I will also build some removable corner legs that I can add when I (occasionally) want to use the surface as a workbench.
Thanks Zack, I've got plans on building this for my DeWalt table saw. It has a nice foot print but I plan on building two of the modular latching workbenches as well to park along each side of the outfeed table to make an even larger outfeed/assembly area for my small shop. When through just park everything along the wall 🙂
That's an amazing build and I'd love to make it, unfortunately i don't have a planer/jointer and 2x4s are usually bent/warped so I cannot trust them while making a high precision build like this, where you need the top to be perfectly flush with the table saw top. I'll probably go with plywood instead even though it's a lot more work.
i bought a ridge rolling miter saw stand. solved any issues i came across . and i do all my wood working outside. no worry about saw dust. i do wear a mask and ear protection. clean off with my leaf blower. same for my table saw.
Picked up an old job site saw (skil 3102) for cheap while I'm working on building out cabinets at my parents house. This is definitely one of the better options for a saw caddy and workable. Great video!
You are making me rethink my plan to build an assembly table with flip tops for the table saw and miter saw. I have the same saw and it works perfectly. One thing about the saw is that even with good dust distracting the saw still blows dust out the bottom. To take this to the next level I would close off or box in the bottom half and hook the dust collector to it as well. Seems like a very easy thing to do with your design.
Very good but you should maybe tell everyone that 2 X 4 timber is actually not 2” X 4”, I looked everywhere for it and was finally told that what I was looking for was 1.50” X 3.50” (actual size) or 38mm X 90mm. Also, in the plans you sell, it would be good to mark where the pocket holes are. I’ve brought the saw table and the timber and I’m looking forward to building it out this weekend.
This is a great build thank you. I do have an idea to make it even better. W hat if you added a removable part on the front that will give you more support when you do cut a full sheet of plywood
That's a good idea! My original idea for an infeed is that I made the saw height the same as my modular tables so I can just wheel on over for the additional support
Looks like a great setup and straightforward design. I have the older Dewalt and will probably need to swap out soon. I saved the video for when I'm ready to build! Thanks for sharing and putting the plans together!
Great job, bet your wishing the folding table on the left side was as wide as the saw plus the fixed rear section. Enjoyed your video, I am ready to add the outfeed to a similar build using a frame made from 3 layers of plywood. Like the simple /functional design.
Zack, I like the design, I like the simple design of overlaying the 2x4 instead of making half lap joins. The space under short permanent out feed table seems empty wasted. I was thinking to somehow fit a permanent shop vacuum there. So is that possible? Also, how easily do your toes fit under the table? Would like to see a picture of the entire cabinet, all 4 sides, from top to bottom.
I've used your plans as a starting point for much of my shop furniture, thanks! Couple things: the other issue with this saw is infeed. Im working on some 8deas for that. Second, Sande ply can have an awful odor of manure...so oick it carefully.
Wow! I really like this build. Been looking at the rotating tablesaw builds that flip the saw into the storage. They look week and limited on table space! This one looks promising! Thanky you for sharing!

Your vocal cadence and presentation style remind me of the automotive repair/restoration TV shows that were popular in the 90s. Not sure if you were aiming for that, but there it is.
Exactly what I've been looking for! Bought the plans and ordered the brackets and wheels from your Amazon links. I'm going to use leftover melamine shelves from the kitchen cabinets for the side tables and skip the outfeed table because I use my tall workbench as the outfeed. I only have half of a 20' x 20' garage to use for my workshop, so space is at a premium. The next project after I build this is to adapt the plans to fit my DeWalt sliding compound miter saw so I can pull it out, pop up the wings, make my cuts, drop the wings, and push it back out of the way!
Zach, we are on the same page. I am a retired engineer (no I didn't drive trains) and I believe in heavy duty construction. I have scoured the internet and this shop saw outfeed table is the best I have seen. I will soon be building it from your plans.
I bought the plans but hadn't realised they were only in imperial. I spent ages doing the conversions to metric and then realised that some of the dimensions were going to be just as awkward to cut to as 1/16" inches are to most of the world, so I started to adjust the to more easily marked dimensions, realised that the design would then not fit together quite the same so started adjusting it all on the fly. Then I managed to cut the bulk of my reclaimed timber to the wrong length making it useless - I was using thicker square pieces so not the sandwiched construction method (which really is a bit of genius design. All-in-all this is a great design, and I'm sure the plans work well in conjunction with the video, but two lapses in judgement by me rendered them a bit of a waste. Such a pity as I really thought I was going to knock this out in a day. ;-). Definitely appreciate the effort put into the whole package though.
Working on getting plans moved over to metric as well, but it takes a bit of redesigning. I've got a question for you. What's the equivalent of the 2x4 from America in the EU? I want to make the plans as easy as possible for y'all across the pond. Would it be best to have the dimensions in mm or cm?
@@BearMountainBuildshere in Sweden, and I guess most of Europe (possibly except the UK) the closest to a US 2x4 is a standard 45x95 (mm). Definitely do the plans on mm, its what all woodworkers use. Great work, love the channel!
Something might be out of square. Check the different sides for squareness, if you have a long enough bar clamp you can tweak it enough to take out the wobble.
I was thinking the same basic idea "fits in a small shop" love it AWESOME I will be downloading plans I l also ike they way you build with 2x4 those tables etc !!
This is my third set of plans from you and I love them. So very clear and easy to follow. I shall start the construction immediately. Thanks for the great video too. Keep 'em coming.
Hi Zack, I'm assembling the table saw cart now and I noticed in the video your 2x4s look squarer 😂. Did you trim the sides to take off the rounded edges? If so, how much from each side? I'm very new to woodworking.
@@BearMountainBuilds how do you achieve this without a planer? I'm pretty new at this and am part way through building this solid table. Definitely learning from my mistakes.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! I've subscribed and purchased the plans, thanks. Since I'm still very much a noob when it comes to woodworking, I'm going to ask what might be a silly question... Could I use MDF instead of plywood for the tops? I already have a lot of that from previous projects, but if there's a reason it's not suitable I'd really like to find out why. Thanks again.
If it's 3/4" MDF you could use it for the surfaces attached directly to the frame, but I'm not sure if it would have enough strength to be used on the fold outs
I've been thinking about this kind of idea for the past couple weeks as I've been painstakingly cutting down full size sheets of plywood using way too many methods (ripcut, accucut, circular saw with straight edge, psychic powers that don't work). Question/idea for another video - would love to see a solution for how to crosscut wider sheets of plywood (e.g., 30" x 18" ) using a jobsite table saw. Most crosscut sleds I've found are built for cabinet saws and/or they are seemingly too small to accommodate such a large piece of lumber. Would love to see that idea integrated into this table or just using a jobsite saw in general. Immediate plan purchase if you do that, Zach! Thanks for this timely video! For anyone considering buying BMB plans, they are by far the best plans I've ever purchased. The cut diagrams are amazing and the colour coding makes it fool proof! They're not full of confusing and useless top/side/front/inside/outside views and the builds don't use complicated joinery. EDIT: At 11:40, I see you crosscutting what looks like a similar size of plywood that I mentioned and without a mitre gauge... any tips for doing so safely?
Thanks for promoting the plans! The main issue I have with cross cutting plywood on a jobsite tables saw is the lack of support underneath the wood. The best recommendation I have is to have an outfeed table like this that supports the wood from underneath as you push it through.
Another great idea Zack. This is going to make using my table saw much easier. This is exactly what i need . Thanks for your videos and brilliant ideas. They are always informative and very easy to understand.
Thanks for a great build. If you are cutting a full sheet of plywood don't you need something in front too? I struggle to hold the plywood at the start, seems that I wobble. Suggestions?
If you have a harder time running the whole sheet through I recommend building one of my modular tables. They're the same height as the outfeed table and can function as an infeed table.
This is great. Im looking to down size my current work table and think this will work. However, I'd like to store my miter saw underneath. What is the height between the bottom shelf and table saw platform? If this will work, I'll purchase the plans for sure!
The opening is 15" tall. I recommend you checkout my expanding miter saw build I just released a couple days ago if you're looking to down size your shop. It will allow you to have your miter saw always at the ready without taking up too much space. Here's a link ruclips.net/video/lILNv4MtpaM/видео.html
I bought this plan and made some adjustments to store my miter saw and also my table saw had more height. The wheels in the plan add 5” of height and I wanted to keep my total height under 36”. I used heavy duty retractable casters to buy those 5” back and allow more height for the miter storage. These are working fine on my build.
That's a great idea. However this plan already has a total height of 36 1/8 plus the casters. That's what, 41 inches high! My mitre saw is 20 inches high. To make that fit and get it down to 36 total is going to be tough.
very nicely done !BTW the parts you referred to as Cross Pieces are typically called Stretchers It’s not a big thing and I’m not making the comment to sound likes Jerk but I was inCustomArchitectual Millworker Industry for. Over 35 Years myo ly other Advice would be Although DewaltsPortable 10” Jobsite Table Saw isa great product I personally would have invested into a Saw Stop Jobsite Saw for your Table Design and Shop. Sadlyi have way too many friends with Scars or Missing Digits that all say it happened so quick I couldn’t beleive it did ? ?
I like Saw Stops a lot but they are pretty expensive and I wanted to keep this beginner friendly. I'll definitely be investing in a saw stop down the line.
Nice idea. It would have been nice to see you show a demo of cutting a 4x8 sheet of plywood. It feels like the wings couldn't hold the weight when your trying to set a big piece on top of it. By the way, I was wondering if you've ever made custom spacers or if you sell plans? Oops, I guess you mentioned both three time. 😅
Hi Zack! I’m working on building your modular workbench design and am loving it so far! I must ask though, does the table saw not tip over when pushing a 4x8 sheet over the foldable outfeed section? I was wondering if you could do a short or follow up demonstrating that the center of mass won’t be an issue. Thanks!
I intentionally made the base oversized to prevent a tipping hazard. I have run a full sheet through and haven't had any issues. Once you add the table saw the whole build is decently heavy. I even leaned on the end of the extension and it holds quite a bit of weight.
I might have missed it somewhere, but I did not know there was more than one Dewalt jobsite table saw size. The plans are written for the smaller DWE7485WS 8-3/4" saw (but not mentioned by model number on the plans). I have the bigger 10" DWE 7491. The feet look the same, the front panel is the same, etc., so I didn't think anything about it and went about building the outfeed table as the plans were written and when I went to install the saw, it didn't fit. The width of the feet on DWE 7491 is 26-1/2" and the plans call for the crosspiece to be cut at 24-5/8". The depth of the table is deeper too. You'll need to cut the notches for the back fence farther than the plans call for. End to end on my saw is 24-1/2" and the plans call for the start of the notch to be 19-1/8", so I would set my saw on the platform where you want it and mark for the start of the notch before you cut them. Otherwise, I really like the plans and there are instructions on how to adjust the dimensions of the spacers and crosspieces if you don't have the same saw Zack has.
I have the same saw as you (7491) and have been trying to figure this out, so I'm glad you commented. Did his instructions/calculations work for you when you measured? I ask because as far as I can tell his 7485 saw is (as listed by Dewalt) 22.75" wide, which according to his calculations sheet means that the crosspiece dimension should be 23 3/8", but in his plans they're 24 5/8" (which working backwards would mean that his saw would be 24" wide). As best as I can figure, he's added an inch of overhang to the right of the saw, but that's not accounted for in the calculations. Do you know/remember what you ended up cutting the cross pieces to? And did it work for you?
@@Sadge23 I didn’t change the crosspieces of the lower portion of the cart because I had those glued and screwed already. I ended up removing the interior spacers on the upper portion so the feet would fit. So, add at least 3 inches to the length of the crosspieces. Also, you’ll need to notch out the left hand side for the riving knife release handle.
I just spent time measuring against the 7491. Factoring for the feet and space for the riving knife release, if you make the dimensions for the core 37” x 22”, instead of 30-1/4”x19-1/8”, the saw will fit perfectly.
Hi. Very nice presentation. I have a question about the casters. First of all your link for casters shows the brackets. Second, with my current casters whenever I unlock them , they pivot and go under the table . Then I have to bend over and turn them towards me manually , if I want to lock them again. Is there any caster that does not pivot after unlocking them. I appreciate your input
You could add the fold out extensions at any time in the future when/if you actually need them if you want to save a few 💰💰💰 today. 3D printed spacers are a great idea but I’m sceptical of thin ones due to warping during print. Thicker ones will be fine.
Thanks Zack, I am new to woodworking and have just joined your channel and down loaded your plans. Really enjoyed the video and the simple instructions. However, I have a DWE7491 10” table saw which, I think , is larger than the saw you used for the build? The plans mention how to make adjustments for a different size saw. As I read the adjustment advice, it looks as if only the long and short spacers and the crosspiece need to be adjusted? However, if the spacers are adjusted will the verticals also need to be adjusted? I think the same would apply for the bottom shelf , the saw base and the left and right edges? Are plans available for a DWE7491 table saw? Besides these questions, I think the channel is great and a useful source for people at all levels…. Thanks for your reply….
The plans are built for the 8-1/4" table saw. The plans calculations will change the the crosspiece that sets the width of the opening for the saw and the upper an lower saw platform spacer length that will make sure the top of your saw is even with the top surface.
Just disappointed the frame didn't get standard black paint. lol Great design and already bought the plans to make myself. Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
I made the big 4x8 table which I love but I'm thinking of cutting the table saw section off and make it mobile like this and keeping the 6 ft section as a build table. I'm finding the big table unruly in my small shed workshop
Add another foldout for the end feed which is short for project saws. Doesn’t have to even be full width of the saw probably need to be removable. Just a thought
I really wish you would’ve spliced in an edit for the pocket holes before putting on the top. My drill wouldn’t fit, so I had to do the pocket holes on the outside. I also really wish that you had. Pocket holes in the plans the way you do on the latching modular workbenches plans.
I am between this table saw and the 10 in version. Was worried the 8.25” blade wouldn’t be large enough to use with a cross cut sled. Would the 8 be fine for that or should I just go with the 10”?
I very rarely find the cut height not enough when using a sled. It obviously depends on how thick the material is, but unless you are constantly cutting thick stock I would say a miter gauge will get you out of the fix. Or, if you're not making many cuts just get out one of those newfangled hand saws... ;-)
Hiya! I bought the plans and am building a modified version of this for my new saw. How did you join the long and short notched pieces? I can’t find it in plans or video. Glue only? Some screws I can’t see? Thanks for the build!!
I have a Hitachi table saw and hope the plans have a good formula to fit it. I have 2 questions. First, What screws are you using for this build and where do you buy your wood screws for projects like this, or for small furniture builds? I hate having to find proper screws at HD or Lowes for my projects. Second, would it be pretty simple to build a bigger outfeed table to temporarily attach to this? I want to build this, but I also need a mobile outfeed table also for my miter saw and for a router (when I am able to buy one). I want the 2 tables to be able to be used together, but then separated and moved back out of the way when done.
@@BearMountainBuilds Perfect! Thanks. I already grabbed some of the free plans and will get the table saw plan soon. I just have to finish my current projects (and honey do list) so I can start reconfiguring my carport and storage.
Another great build Zach. I've watched a bunch of Table Saw workbench builds trying to figure what's right for my small shop. Is there anything in this plan that allows for adjusting height to ensure level/flat across the table, bench and outfeeds? One complex build goes to the extreme of bolt height adjustment. Other say to shim it if needed or to make the sides/outfeed slightly lower than the table. Thoughts?
I generally plan for the table saw top to be even to 1/16" above the rest of the platforms to prevent any interference. I generally suggest "dry fitting" the build after you attach the base and legs. It's pretty easy to just clamp your spacer boards and the saw platform in place to check where the top of your saw ends compared to the table platforms. It's the best way to tell if you need to make any adjustments to the spacer lengths. Once you know everything looks good then you can finish assembling the frame with peace of mind. If I ever have issues still then I would just do some minor shimming
Hi Zack, great video and this looks just right for my needs. I bought the plans (very nice too) and have one question. The plans call for the notch for the saw rails to be at a depth of 2-5/8" but in your video, you cut it to 1-5/8". Which one should it be? I'm thinking 1-5/8? Keep up the great work. P.S. You don't look 6'-4" in your videos. I think we would all like to see some proof of that...
Looks like the 2-5/8" is a typo in the plans, good catch. I'll get the plans updated. The 1-5/8" is the correct dimension. I am in fact 6' 4" that's why I build all my tables an extra 3" tall
@@BearMountainBuilds I recently purchased your plans as well and found another small error in case you haven't already seen it. On page 7, you have the width of the shelf with the miter slots as 24" went in fact it should be 12". Great video and a great project. Keep up the good work!
hello how did you establish the right height of the top where the dewalt rests so that it was flush with the top deck so that there is no step. Thank you
I have the same Dewalt jobsite saw that your plans reference. In looking more closely at the plans, how would I access the riving knife/blade guard lever under the left side of the saw table??
Mine doesn't have the lever on the left side instead it releases from the center, but you could still reach around from the underside or make the frame a couple inches wider
The plans will fit to any saw. You just need to take the dimensions of your table saw and enter the values into the equations on the plans. You can email me at zach@bearmountainbuilds.com if you need any assistance.
@BearMountainBuilds I'm in the same situation. Also I'd like store my mitre saw underneath. What is the height between the bottom shelf and the support for the table saw?
Great build, just what I was looking for, only problem is the imperial measurements, ye Yankies need to get modern, Metric is so much easier 😁👍 I do have 3 work benches on casters so I’ll use those for outfeed, infeed, & side support tables. Thanks
Dimensions are currently only in inches, but I'm working on adding metric to the plans as well. if you purchase the plans before metric is added once I have added metric I'll send out the new version to everyone who has purchased the plans previously.
@@BearMountainBuilds that would be ok for me. Another question: does the VAT also apply to sales outside the US? Sad but true, as a 71 year old retired woman, I have to keep an eye on my expenses. (Will buy it anyway, but if I can save a dime…)
Hi, Thanks for adding metric measures to your plan. I don’t want to rant but there is still one problem for European people . Luckily not yours… In Germany (that‘s where I live) we have no 2x4s but I will work that out. Thanx God I have a Metabo planer so I will make my 2x4s by myself. Anyway it’s a very good plan, I don’t regret to buy it.
Nice table, maybe in some other video you explain better what you mean when you state make certain the brackets are parallel. You did some change however I have no idea what you modified. Also you state you put polyurethane and wax to make things slide easier but that is really little to no information, I will see if you have another video that provides clear information on this step (I suggest in the future you add a link to the video so people like me don't have to search for it). Good video even if I have a big table saw.
I'm about to release my next video that will be a version of this for the miter saw. Should release this Sunday! If you subscribe and click the bell RUclips will send you a notification when it is released
Did up have a vacuum hooked up to the saw when you were making your cuts? I noticed absolutely no dust which is something I have been trying to address. Thanks?
Holy carp, I literally was drawing up plans for nearly this exact idea for my garage workshop and had no idea where to start. AWESOME.

Such a pity as I really thought I was going to knock this out in a day. ;-). Definitely appreciate the effort put into the whole package though.
Working on getting plans moved over to metric as well, but it takes a bit of redesigning. I've got a question for you. What's the equivalent of the 2x4 from America in the EU? I want to make the plans as easy as possible for y'all across the pond. Would it be best to have the dimensions in mm or cm?
@@BearMountainBuildshere in Sweden, and I guess most of Europe (possibly except the UK) the closest to a US 2x4 is a standard 45x95 (mm). Definitely do the plans on mm, its what all woodworkers use. Great work, love the channel!
@@BearMountainBuilds Standard for metric plans would always be mm
@@BearMountainBuilds same with Australia. Nobody works in cm here. Everything is mm.
I really like this. I am in a 12x20 portable building and this will be perfect for my metabo contractor saw
Beautiful!
I think we can also make the pair of side wings into router and jigsaw tables each! - what do you think of that?
Bought the plans, gave it a try, cart is wobbly. Back to the drawing board for me. Thanks anyway.
Not sure that's a problem with the plans...
Something might be out of square. Check the different sides for squareness, if you have a long enough bar clamp you can tweak it enough to take out the wobble.
I was thinking the same basic idea "fits in a small shop" love it AWESOME I will be downloading plans I l also ike they way you build with 2x4 those tables etc !!
This is my third set of plans from you and I love them. So very clear and easy to follow. I shall start the construction immediately. Thanks for the great video too. Keep 'em coming.
I'm glad you're enjoying my builds! I've got a lot more coming!
Hi Zack, I'm assembling the table saw cart now and I noticed in the video your 2x4s look squarer 😂. Did you trim the sides to take off the rounded edges? If so, how much from each side? I'm very new to woodworking.
I generally plane my 2x4s done a 1/16" on all four sides for a better look. The plans assume nominal dimensions for the 2x4s so 1.5"x3.5"
@@BearMountainBuilds how do you achieve this without a planer? I'm pretty new at this and am part way through building this solid table. Definitely learning from my mistakes.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! I've subscribed and purchased the plans, thanks. Since I'm still very much a noob when it comes to woodworking, I'm going to ask what might be a silly question... Could I use MDF instead of plywood for the tops? I already have a lot of that from previous projects, but if there's a reason it's not suitable I'd really like to find out why. Thanks again.
If it's 3/4" MDF you could use it for the surfaces attached directly to the frame, but I'm not sure if it would have enough strength to be used on the fold outs
@BearMountainBuilds~ I'm diggin' the custom 3D printed spacers! Are you thinking about making some to sell? I would definitely buy a couple of sets!
I've got a link to them in the video description!
Great video… Have you considered adding a router table?
I've been thinking about this kind of idea for the past couple weeks as I've been painstakingly cutting down full size sheets of plywood using way too many methods (ripcut, accucut, circular saw with straight edge, psychic powers that don't work).
Question/idea for another video - would love to see a solution for how to crosscut wider sheets of plywood (e.g., 30" x 18" ) using a jobsite table saw. Most crosscut sleds I've found are built for cabinet saws and/or they are seemingly too small to accommodate such a large piece of lumber. Would love to see that idea integrated into this table or just using a jobsite saw in general. Immediate plan purchase if you do that, Zach!
Thanks for this timely video!
For anyone considering buying BMB plans, they are by far the best plans I've ever purchased. The cut diagrams are amazing and the colour coding makes it fool proof! They're not full of confusing and useless top/side/front/inside/outside views and the builds don't use complicated joinery.
EDIT: At 11:40, I see you crosscutting what looks like a similar size of plywood that I mentioned and without a mitre gauge... any tips for doing so safely?
Thanks for promoting the plans! The main issue I have with cross cutting plywood on a jobsite tables saw is the lack of support underneath the wood. The best recommendation I have is to have an outfeed table like this that supports the wood from underneath as you push it through.
Perfect! Exactly what I am looking for my Dewalt 7480 Table saw. I'll be ordering the plans on adjusting for my particular saw model. Thanks.
Another great idea Zack. This is going to make using my table saw much easier. This is exactly what i need . Thanks for your videos and brilliant ideas. They are always informative and very easy to understand.
Thanks for a great build. If you are cutting a full sheet of plywood don't you need something in front too? I struggle to hold the plywood at the start, seems that I wobble. Suggestions?
If you have a harder time running the whole sheet through I recommend building one of my modular tables. They're the same height as the outfeed table and can function as an infeed table.
This is great. Im looking to down size my current work table and think this will work. However, I'd like to store my miter saw underneath. What is the height between the bottom shelf and table saw platform? If this will work, I'll purchase the plans for sure!
The opening is 15" tall. I recommend you checkout my expanding miter saw build I just released a couple days ago if you're looking to down size your shop. It will allow you to have your miter saw always at the ready without taking up too much space.
Here's a link
ruclips.net/video/lILNv4MtpaM/видео.html
I bought this plan and made some adjustments to store my miter saw and also my table saw had more height. The wheels in the plan add 5” of height and I wanted to keep my total height under 36”. I used heavy duty retractable casters to buy those 5” back and allow more height for the miter storage. These are working fine on my build.
That's a great idea. However this plan already has a total height of 36 1/8 plus the casters. That's what, 41 inches high! My mitre saw is 20 inches high. To make that fit and get it down to 36 total is going to be tough.
Your material list says to use 1 1/4" pocket hole screws. I believe it is 2 1/2" for 2 x 4's. You even display 2 1/2 in the video.
2-1/2" for going into a 2x4 but 1-1/4" for attaching plywood.
very nicely done !BTW the parts you referred to as Cross Pieces are typically called Stretchers It’s not a big thing and I’m not making the comment to sound likes Jerk but I was inCustomArchitectual Millworker Industry for. Over 35 Years myo ly other Advice would be Although DewaltsPortable 10” Jobsite Table Saw isa great product I personally would have invested into a Saw Stop Jobsite Saw for your Table Design and Shop. Sadlyi have way too many friends with Scars or Missing Digits that all say it happened so quick I couldn’t beleive it did ? ?
I like Saw Stops a lot but they are pretty expensive and I wanted to keep this beginner friendly. I'll definitely be investing in a saw stop down the line.
Nice idea. It would have been nice to see you show a demo of cutting a 4x8 sheet of plywood. It feels like the wings couldn't hold the weight when your trying to set a big piece on top of it. By the way, I was wondering if you've ever made custom spacers or if you sell plans? Oops, I guess you mentioned both three time. 😅
What nice build. Simple and straight forward. Are your spacer blocks for sale.
Working on putting together an initial limited run sale as we speak. The plan is to have something ready to go in a month or two
Hi Zack! I’m working on building your modular workbench design and am loving it so far! I must ask though, does the table saw not tip over when pushing a 4x8 sheet over the foldable outfeed section? I was wondering if you could do a short or follow up demonstrating that the center of mass won’t be an issue. Thanks!
I intentionally made the base oversized to prevent a tipping hazard. I have run a full sheet through and haven't had any issues. Once you add the table saw the whole build is decently heavy. I even leaned on the end of the extension and it holds quite a bit of weight.
This is great! I’ve been looking at getting the Dewalt 10in DWE7491RS. The plans and formula look easy enough. Great build!
I might have missed it somewhere, but I did not know there was more than one Dewalt jobsite table saw size. The plans are written for the smaller DWE7485WS 8-3/4" saw (but not mentioned by model number on the plans). I have the bigger 10" DWE 7491. The feet look the same, the front panel is the same, etc., so I didn't think anything about it and went about building the outfeed table as the plans were written and when I went to install the saw, it didn't fit. The width of the feet on DWE 7491 is 26-1/2" and the plans call for the crosspiece to be cut at 24-5/8". The depth of the table is deeper too. You'll need to cut the notches for the back fence farther than the plans call for. End to end on my saw is 24-1/2" and the plans call for the start of the notch to be 19-1/8", so I would set my saw on the platform where you want it and mark for the start of the notch before you cut them. Otherwise, I really like the plans and there are instructions on how to adjust the dimensions of the spacers and crosspieces if you don't have the same saw Zack has.
I have the same saw as you (7491) and have been trying to figure this out, so I'm glad you commented. Did his instructions/calculations work for you when you measured? I ask because as far as I can tell his 7485 saw is (as listed by Dewalt) 22.75" wide, which according to his calculations sheet means that the crosspiece dimension should be 23 3/8", but in his plans they're 24 5/8" (which working backwards would mean that his saw would be 24" wide). As best as I can figure, he's added an inch of overhang to the right of the saw, but that's not accounted for in the calculations. Do you know/remember what you ended up cutting the cross pieces to? And did it work for you?
@@Sadge23 I didn’t change the crosspieces of the lower portion of the cart because I had those glued and screwed already. I ended up removing the interior spacers on the upper portion so the feet would fit. So, add at least 3 inches to the length of the crosspieces. Also, you’ll need to notch out the left hand side for the riving knife release handle.
@@MarkDustPhD That's really helpful, thank you.
I just spent time measuring against the 7491. Factoring for the feet and space for the riving knife release, if you make the dimensions for the core 37” x 22”, instead of 30-1/4”x19-1/8”, the saw will fit perfectly.
My apologies good sir, the timber size was in the notes section of the plans.... top notch!
Hi. Very nice presentation. I have a question about the casters. First of all your link for casters shows the brackets. Second, with my current casters whenever I unlock them , they pivot and go under the table . Then I have to bend over and turn them towards me manually , if I want to lock them again. Is there any caster that does not pivot after unlocking them. I appreciate your input
I don’t know of any locking casters that don’t swing around. Generally you can lock two at anytime and that holds the table in place
@@BearMountainBuilds home depot has them. They are very nice. When you unlock them the wheels do not pivot and go under the bench.
You could add the fold out extensions at any time in the future when/if you actually need them if you want to save a few 💰💰💰 today.
3D printed spacers are a great idea but I’m sceptical of thin ones due to warping during print. Thicker ones will be fine.
The 1/16" spacers are perfectly flat. There are no warping issues. I wouldn't offer anything that warps
Just ordered the plans. Very nice design, thank you!
Thanks Zack,
I am new to woodworking and have just joined your channel and down loaded your plans. Really enjoyed the video and the simple instructions. However, I have a DWE7491 10” table saw which, I think , is larger than the saw you used for the build?
The plans mention how to make adjustments for a different size saw. As I read the adjustment advice, it looks as if only the long and short spacers and the crosspiece need to be adjusted?
However, if the spacers are adjusted will the verticals also need to be adjusted?
I think the same would apply for the bottom shelf , the saw base and the left and right edges?
Are plans available for a DWE7491 table saw?
Besides these questions, I think the channel is great and a useful source for people at all levels….
Thanks for your reply….
The plans are built for the 8-1/4" table saw. The plans calculations will change the the crosspiece that sets the width of the opening for the saw and the upper an lower saw platform spacer length that will make sure the top of your saw is even with the top surface.
Looks like this would be perfect for my Metabo HPT contractor saw. Love the design
Love the video and will be buying the plans as soon as my garage is cleared out. Thank you.
Wondering if the Bow XT fence extender could be something good to add for this build? 🤔
You could make it fit but would need to increase some of the space in the cut outs
Just disappointed the frame didn't get standard black paint. lol Great design and already bought the plans to make myself. Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Definitely thought about painting the frame black. Maybe I still will and update the thumbnail
It’s almost become signature. lol Regardless, it’s a great build!
I made the big 4x8 table which I love but I'm thinking of cutting the table saw section off and make it mobile like this and keeping the 6 ft section as a build table. I'm finding the big table unruly in my small shed workshop
I have a dewalt 7491 is that similar to your saw? What are your saws dimensions. Great plans
It's close, but I know several people have your saw and used my plans for their table using the easy formula calculations
Thank you so much for this fantastic video. It is very easy to follow and very clear. Thank you!
Add another foldout for the end feed which is short for project saws. Doesn’t have to even be full width of the saw probably need to be removable. Just a thought
I really liked the build. I ordered the plans and I am looking forward to start this project.
How can I get some of those spacer blocks?
I think I'll be doing an initial limited run sale with a couple different options hopefully coming in the next month or so
I really wish you would’ve spliced in an edit for the pocket holes before putting on the top. My drill wouldn’t fit, so I had to do the pocket holes on the outside. I also really wish that you had. Pocket holes in the plans the way you do on the latching modular workbenches plans.
This is going to be one of my builds as I do not have much space. Brilliant
I was just thinking I need something like this today. Come inside from the shop and here’s your video. Nice job brother. 🐬🐬🔼
How about dust collection.? How would a cyclone fit into this build? Otherwise, robust easy to follow build as usual. Thanks.
Just wait for my next video my friend!
I am between this table saw and the 10 in version. Was worried the 8.25” blade wouldn’t be large enough to use with a cross cut sled. Would the 8 be fine for that or should I just go with the 10”?
I very rarely find the cut height not enough when using a sled. It obviously depends on how thick the material is, but unless you are constantly cutting thick stock I would say a miter gauge will get you out of the fix. Or, if you're not making many cuts just get out one of those newfangled hand saws... ;-)
Depends on how deep you plan on cutting. If you don't plan on cutting 4x4s the 8.25" will be more than enough
I have the same saw so this is perfect for me. Looks very well made. The 3D print spacers look quite useful as well. You selling them?
Hiya! I bought the plans and am building a modified version of this for my new saw. How did you join the long and short notched pieces? I can’t find it in plans or video. Glue only? Some screws I can’t see? Thanks for the build!!
They are glued and screwed together then the notch is cut after it dries
Just bought the plans, looking forward to build it! Very well done 👍
Awesome idea. This will work perfectly for my small shop. Thanks!!!
I have a Hitachi table saw and hope the plans have a good formula to fit it. I have 2 questions. First, What screws are you using for this build and where do you buy your wood screws for projects like this, or for small furniture builds? I hate having to find proper screws at HD or Lowes for my projects. Second, would it be pretty simple to build a bigger outfeed table to temporarily attach to this? I want to build this, but I also need a mobile outfeed table also for my miter saw and for a router (when I am able to buy one). I want the 2 tables to be able to be used together, but then separated and moved back out of the way when done.
I've got a miter saw table build coming out this Sunday that you might be interested in. I generally use GRK 2-1/2" and 3" screws.
@@BearMountainBuilds Perfect! Thanks. I already grabbed some of the free plans and will get the table saw plan soon. I just have to finish my current projects (and honey do list) so I can start reconfiguring my carport and storage.
Another great build Zach. I've watched a bunch of Table Saw workbench builds trying to figure what's right for my small shop. Is there anything in this plan that allows for adjusting height to ensure level/flat across the table, bench and outfeeds? One complex build goes to the extreme of bolt height adjustment. Other say to shim it if needed or to make the sides/outfeed slightly lower than the table. Thoughts?
I generally plan for the table saw top to be even to 1/16" above the rest of the platforms to prevent any interference. I generally suggest "dry fitting" the build after you attach the base and legs. It's pretty easy to just clamp your spacer boards and the saw platform in place to check where the top of your saw ends compared to the table platforms. It's the best way to tell if you need to make any adjustments to the spacer lengths. Once you know everything looks good then you can finish assembling the frame with peace of mind. If I ever have issues still then I would just do some minor shimming
I like your 3D PRINTED SETUP BLOCKS ANY PLANS TO OFFER A SET FOR SALE ON YOUR SITE? Great little build as well.
Limited Sale coming soon in about a month or two
I should be using a jobsite saw with a cart like this in my small shop to save space but they are sooooooo loud !!
Do you run your two by fours through a wood planer or sharpen them up on yourtable saw?
I usually take about a 1/16” off all four sides on my planer to crisp up the edges
I used thos hinges on my miter saw station and they rock!
Hi Zack, great video and this looks just right for my needs. I bought the plans (very nice too) and have one question. The plans call for the notch for the saw rails to be at a depth of 2-5/8" but in your video, you cut it to 1-5/8". Which one should it be? I'm thinking 1-5/8? Keep up the great work. P.S. You don't look 6'-4" in your videos. I think we would all like to see some proof of that...
Looks like the 2-5/8" is a typo in the plans, good catch. I'll get the plans updated. The 1-5/8" is the correct dimension. I am in fact 6' 4" that's why I build all my tables an extra 3" tall
@@BearMountainBuilds I recently purchased your plans as well and found another small error in case you haven't already seen it. On page 7, you have the width of the shelf with the miter slots as 24" went in fact it should be 12". Great video and a great project. Keep up the good work!
Great design. Smooth build and a very watchable vid. 10/10.
Great build! Exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks.
how many yards of 2"x4" wood do you think it takes to do this job - thanks
The plans have a complete cut plan for the build but it’s somewhere between 5-7 2x4s I think
Great work mate. I am from Australia. I purchased your plans and will be starting to build soon.
Me, too. Would be great if there were a metric version of the plans. I need to convert dimensions to sizes we can get locally Down Under.
hello how did you establish the right height of the top where the dewalt rests so that it was flush with the top deck so that there is no step. Thank you
The plans set the top of the saw 1/16" higher than the table top
Nice work!! Planning one for my Bosch saw. Are the STL file available for the setup spacers?
Nice job my friend! Well built.
Did I miss the part about fine adjustment for making the table saw top level with extensions?
I have the same Dewalt jobsite saw that your plans reference. In looking more closely at the plans, how would I access the riving knife/blade guard lever under the left side of the saw table??
Mine doesn't have the lever on the left side instead it releases from the center, but you could still reach around from the underside or make the frame a couple inches wider
Curiosity question, what happened to the bench with the outfeed table that you made for this saw. It looked like the perfect table.
That table saw died on me and I decided to just replace the whole surface of that table and make it solid instead of fitting a new one in place.
Perfect for a small shop - Thanks !
Where did you get those measuring blocks? Those look like they are so useful.
I made them myself! They've been really useful. I'm thinking I'll be making a limited set of them initially and try selling them to gauge interest
yep, i’m getting those drawings and building that thing. :) Muchos gracias!
Does the plan include the adjustments for a 7491?
The plans will fit to any saw. You just need to take the dimensions of your table saw and enter the values into the equations on the plans. You can email me at zach@bearmountainbuilds.com if you need any assistance.
@BearMountainBuilds I'm in the same situation. Also I'd like store my mitre saw underneath. What is the height between the bottom shelf and the support for the table saw?
Great build, just what I was looking for, only problem is the imperial measurements, ye Yankies need to get modern, Metric is so much easier 😁👍
I do have 3 work benches on casters so I’ll use those for outfeed, infeed, & side support tables.
Thanks
Excellent video. Thank you!
Would like to buy your plan. Are the measurements also given in european centimeters or only in American inches
Dimensions are currently only in inches, but I'm working on adding metric to the plans as well. if you purchase the plans before metric is added once I have added metric I'll send out the new version to everyone who has purchased the plans previously.
@@BearMountainBuilds that would be ok for me. Another question: does the VAT also apply to sales outside the US?
Sad but true, as a 71 year old retired woman, I have to keep an eye on my expenses. (Will buy it anyway, but if I can save a dime…)
Hi,
Thanks for adding metric measures to your plan.
I don’t want to rant but there is still one problem for European people . Luckily not yours…
In Germany (that‘s where I live) we have no 2x4s but I will work that out. Thanx God I have a Metabo planer so I will make my 2x4s by myself.
Anyway it’s a very good plan, I don’t regret to buy it.
Nice table, maybe in some other video you explain better what you mean when you state make certain the brackets are parallel. You did some change however I have no idea what you modified. Also you state you put polyurethane and wax to make things slide easier but that is really little to no information, I will see if you have another video that provides clear information on this step (I suggest in the future you add a link to the video so people like me don't have to search for it). Good video even if I have a big table saw.
Do you have anything with table saw and miter saw for small areas like this one
I'm about to release my next video that will be a version of this for the miter saw. Should release this Sunday! If you subscribe and click the bell RUclips will send you a notification when it is released
@@BearMountainBuilds excellent. is something possible for the two to be on the same table
I am subscribed
The back end piece, I do not see mentioned the “tracks” in it
Did you use router? Sizes of the tracks?
Does the build match the height of your modular workbenches as well?
Yes it does!
nice, I'm gonna make one
Did up have a vacuum hooked up to the saw when you were making your cuts? I noticed absolutely no dust which is something I have been trying to address. Thanks?
Yeah I hooked up my saw to a vacuum when I run it in the video
