Outfeed Table Redesign Ideas - titanxt - 01-13-2024
Hello All!
My current outfeed table is large, has drawers and does double duty as a router table and storage. Space is getting tight and I am thinking about downsizing, but I still need a outfeed table... Any good ideas out there for such a thing?
Thank you!

Router mounted in a righthand saw extension table maybe?

I made a free standing router table years ago that has served me well. Do a google search for "router table design" and you will find lots of them. Fine Woodworking magazine has published plans some years ago.

What about the outfeed table? Any thoughts on scaling one down a bit that is still functional?

Steve’s suggestion is what’s often done:
Router table in the widest wing.

I apologize, I meant to say I still need an outfeed table. My error.

Pretty much everyone using a TS needs some kind of outfeed.
Many of us have one which folds down when not in use.
The reason for putting the router in the wing is most of them don’t fold.
What saw, what setup do you currently have?

With tight space, this Woodsmith design would seem to fill the bill.

I just finished mine. It's 24" x 72". It's an open leg design with a Melamine top. I put it on locking casters. So far, it works great for me. My router table is in the right wing of my saw. That works great as well.

You might want to think about an outfeed table that folds down behind your tablesaw when not in use. Seems like I've seen kits for this application where you only have to buy the material for the top.
Here's one example:
