@@steven.woodward Thanks! I don't do this work anymore, but I certainly mis it, but especially the problem solving part and while under pressure of time constraints.

Nicely done, elegant design. This is how you make s good video too. Not 20 minutes of some guys face telling the history of the tablesaw, just right into the project.
Now that is a great idea - I use my table saw in my home shop more than any other power tool. I’ll be building one of these right away. Maybe an outfeed version too.
I shouldn’t watch your videos, I have a tendency to overbuild. You’re encouraging! Honestly I loved your video, nothing gets me more excited than seeing such amazing quality and accuracy in every little aspect.
I'm making one of these as soon as I wake up. No wait...I am going to make two of these as soon as I wake up. Thank you for taking the time to make the video Steven...much appreciated!
I made this months back, posted on my channel and then Izzy started selling them. Lol. I like your design better so I will using! Thanks so much! Keep making the videos! Great tips on all I’ve seen so far.
I had the benefit of seeing Izzy design before making mine. Often easier to improve on an existing design than start from scratch. In truth I don't think I would have come up with the concept on my own, so congratulations to you for doing that.
Hey, thanks for posting this. I think it's an improvement on Izzy's. I've been looking at as many different designs on this and yours is at the top. Take care...
@@completeopposite I think the Izzy version is a good product and I can't really claim any advantage over it. The original Izzy design used a wooden cam for a clamp, but has since changed to a toggle. .Some reviewers said they replaced the wooden cam with a toggle clamp to get a better grip. The toggle used on Izzy does not appear to have a rubber or plastic tip, so you might want to do something about that to avoid scratching fence rail.
Thanks. I detest RUclips video with annoying music, long introductions, advertisements, and requests to like and subscribe. So I will never foist that on others. If you do see an advertisement on my video it is because RUclips put it there and I can't stop that.
Your videos are excellent. I have good out feed support on my table saw, but the options I tried for indeed support always got in the way. I’m going to make one of these tomorrow!
My sawStop has a different rail. I drilled 1/4” holes and attached my support with inset T-nuts on top and 1/4-20 threaded rod with knob glued on with red Loctite on the bottom. I made a slot for miter gauge and cross-cut sled.
Thank you. Great idea, very well presented. I often have to call my wife to help me support larger pieces. Now she can watch her soap operas undisturbed.😜. Building this is my next poroject.
This is so simple I think I have to make it. So easy to store compared to many of the bigger ones I see out there. Extra thanks for the precise and concise video. Sub'd.
I wish I could do that for mine but I have a RIGID and the rail is an extruded aluminum "tube", which bolts flat against the edge of the table (no gaps). Making a folding outfeed is also impossible, as the motor sticks out the back. Those are bummers but I am not truly complaining, because it is a good saw and years ago, I got a really good price, on it. It has served me well. 😁✌🖖
I used to have a Rockwell table saw with round rails, so I know exactly what you mean. Maybe there is a clever way to attach an infeed support to round rail - like a block of wood on the end that fits snug between rail and table .
I'm in the exact same boat. Mine has been a good saw too but I may get ride of it to get a (used) cabinet style, or at least a ridged that has the motor mounted below.
@@chriswkbrd I used a Rockwell contractor saw for 30 years. Replaced with a cabinet style SawStop, primarily for the safety feature, and was surprised how much smoother a cut I got with the cabinet saw vs the contractor saw, even when using the same blade. Must be due to vibration and arbour runout on the contractor saw.
Steve, I really like your style of videos great pace, most times I get all the info I need to build them if I care to. I have a version of this but I'm going to use your clamping idea now, keep makes the videos I subscribed about a week or so ago and have gone thru quite a few of them with great appreciation. Please don't become one of the "hawkers" as I like to call them.
Pat, thanks for the kind feedback. With the luxury of being retired, there is thankfully no reason to become a "hawker". Creating these videos is an enjoyable hobby to complement my woodworking hobby and I plan to keep it that way.
That’s a great idea but I’ll add this for new woodworkers who might come across this video even 2 years later… if you can afford an expandable roller stand/conveyor and you have the space, get one. It’s well worth it. Portamate makes one and it’s actually on sale right now. Also Rockler now has one and Woodcraft now sells one as well. They’re also great if you have the usual Dewalt lunchbox or 735 planer like a lot of beginners have. Get two stands… they have casters and you can raise them to any height and there is a scale on each of the four legs. Great for tablesaw indeed, great for indeed/outfeed for planers on a shop-made stand/cart or production cart.
Hey Steven, I see you on the SS forum on FB. I just saw the Izzy vid on his take on this and now I see yours. Good job but his is some better as it allows for a miter gauge. I need something like this as all I have is the JSS Pro. Outfeed would be awesome as well. It might be easier to incorporate the saw into a table for that though.
I think Izzy was the first with this clip on idea. I copied his but with a different clamp. Decided to leave off the miter slot and add it later if found to be needed.
Take a look at these two video of another kind of infeed support, that can likely be adapted to round track: ruclips.net/video/wrRax7uCFBQ/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/SlZsKqE0s9k/видео.html
I like your use of taps and machine screws to attach the aluminum bracket to the 3/4" plywood. Can you tell me a little about the specifications for the machine screws; particularly length, thread count, material, and manufacturer.
They are metric M5 x16mm flat head socket stainless steel from this kit. www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06Y3JDM4R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The only reason I chose metric is because I already had that kit, and they looked like a nice bolt. Most machine screws are made in China, I have always found the stainless steel screws from China to be of good quality, but have found regular steel screws to be poor quality.
@@steven.woodward Thanks for your reply. I forgot to ask if your tap ran all the way through the plywood. Given that you added a laminate top I wasn’t certain whether a bottom tap would be required.
@@Hibbing49 plywood is 3/4" or 19mm. Bolts are 16mm, of which 3mm is used up by the 1/8" thick aluminum bracket, so only 13mm penetration into the plywood. I used a regular tap, not a bottom tap. If the bolt is a little longer than the threaded part, it will still work because the bolt with cut its own threads for the last bit - this works on wood, but not on metal.
@@steven.woodward Hi again. Now I have made a little progress but am a little stuck on the countersinks. I am curious to know about the countersink you used and whether you used a drill or a drill press to cut the countersinks? It appears that the aluminum angle makes for a tight fit when you drill the countersinks closest to the interior bend. How did you manage that? Thanks again for all your help.
@@Hibbing49 Good question regarding countersink, I should have shown in video. I used this countersink: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000F3SI2O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1.

Not as smooth as a countersink, but works ok if you go slow, especially in a drill press
Thought I would try it first without a miter slot, and then add slot if needed. So far I have not found a need for miter slot. I am not a big user of the miter gauge, but would likely add the slot if I was.
@@paulyanney3151 A few inches bigger might be a good idea. I use mine mostly for supporting table saw sleds, so that the sled doesn't tip when hanging off the front of table saw - for that purpose the infeed support does not have to be very long. If using to support ripping of longer pieces of lumber, then a longer infeed support seems to make sense. Here is a really long one, with a support leg, made by another woodworker: instagram.com/p/CB5X-mPjaAr/?fbclid=IwAR248o7YKBzh-R5FxswF5ksy2EhvpetGur0jVKchf6dz1ocguHyQ29fQIsU
