- The new outfeed for my table saw needed a few minor upgrades, like making a quick release handle to drop it down instead of trying to find the release buttons blindly from above, it also needed some mitre slots and I gave it a brown coat of dye coloring to help the tone match my steel table saw deck and makes for a great extra workbench.

Another great video Colin! WHAT KEEPS THE BRACKET SUPPORT RELEASE add-on from falling down? I can't tell from the video.
Good video and I have the hinges to build the outfeed table but it would have been nice to see the underside of the latch release
It would have been most helpful to point the camera under the table so we could get a look at the mechanism and how it's attached.
Even a still pic would be helpful
I don't understand how the handle floats like that. Where the hinge is it seems like it would just swing all the way down
Hello sir, is there anyway you can take a picture of exactly what it looks like underneath the outfeed table?
I was wondering same,
brilliant outfeed table Colin mate.. Love the simplicity of it and I will probably look into doing something like this myself bcos my workshop is only going to be 16x10 so I need to make use of every bit of affordable space. I have a mitre saw and a Bench drill too. I also have a jointer/Thicknesser and I was wondering should I build a small workstation for the saw and drill? I'm also looking at getting a Mortiser down the line so should I build the station with that in mind? Apologies for the questions but I like to get some advice from people like ur good self mate. As always I enjoy these videos bcos u explain stuff clearly.. Thanks and salute from Dublin, Ireland
I'm wondering the same...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Wish you would have shown the build of the frame that the folding table is attached to??
You could have laid the table in the down position and cut straight up with the router. Love the outfeed table.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Nice. I'd do this as well but for the fact my tablesaw is belt driven and the motor sticks out the back.
Question back to the original install, apologies if I missed the clarification: did you just drill self-taps into the cabinet of the saw itself to install the main supports for the brackets?
self tapping countersunk screws into the 2x2 oak. standoff board
Hi Colin...great video as always.....can you explain how the cross pieces are held up...and what does the hinge do ...please??
That is so slick! I plan on doing that very same thing for my table saw. I also have very little room since I’m sharing my “shop” with my wife’s car. 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks so much for sharing this video!
I will continue to wrestle with the problem. I have a Grizzly contractor-style saw. I don't need to upgrade. It is perfectly adequate for my hobby woodshop; but most of the "hacks" that I see for both out-feed tables AND dust collection are geared to cabinet-type saws. My saw has the motor cantelevered out the back side with a drive-belt exposed. There is no good way to close up the escape route for some of the dust OR to attach an outfeed table to the saw itself. And for my saw, I need access to the interior of the saw to give the trunions a very thorough cleaning now and then. So I can't obstruct that access. HHMM! Maybe I DO need to upgrade!
Love your enthusiasm about your projects.
I like your outfeed design and I'm currently in the process of adding one of these to my table saw. I was considering making my outfeed table out of glued up double layer of 3/4" plywood, rather than just a single layer to make it bit sturdier, so it doesn't have a tendency to sag in the middle or droop on the ends. Have you had any of these issues on your outfeed table?
You know, I built my outfeed table the day after your last video. It works brilliantly, thank you. It's 60" wide though, so I was thinking of making something like this. This video probably saved me several hours of trouble shooting. Thanks, Colin!
You're welcome, Patrick! Thanks for watching.
Murphy desk for your saw! I like it. Thanks for sharing
Love the idea
One question where can I get the folding brackets do you have a link
Thanks
I just changed table saw and my out feed table is way to high , and it has never been the best, I am going to take your ideas and run with them. How do you keep your shop so clean
I can't find the link for the brackets
Isn't the extra wood preventing it to fold down entirely? Seems to meet the wood is in-between the hinges.
You are a clever man Colin. A fairly simple mechanism. But, you had to think it out. It must give you (and all creators/inventors) a real feeling of accomplishment when you solve a problem to make life easier. One can never explain it to 'non-creative' people. It just goes show that 'necessity is the mother of all invention'. Great idea. Almost like a hood release on a car. I want to get a smaller set of those locking hinges for my miniature table saw. It would help me greatly.
They are available in smaller sizes. Thank for watching, Bruce!
Uncalled for.
So easy , where did you get the brackets from?
I have just made myself a outfeed table with the same drop down brackets. perfect idea you have there. I’ll copy that if I may😊
Why didn't you rout the groove all the way?
Thank you and love not battery on tools! Yeah yeah yeah!
Nice job, Colin, on both the project and the explanation. Keep up the good work -- always enjoyable and educational.
Thank You!
Sir I really like the way that you do things and so appreciate everything you teach me thank you so much thumbs up my friend
Thank You!
I need an outfeed table on my tablesaw. This is the perfect solution for it. I didn't want to use legs either. Thanks for a great idea.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
great I'm going to do that too.
Thank you Colin for the brilliant upgrade tip. I added this release to my Delta contractor saw!
It never ceases to amaze me how much I learn from you Colin. Thanks so much.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
What kind of plywood do you typically use for an out feed table and various jigs? Lots of the big box store ply is warped. I need to check my local menards, they have some 9ply birch and 13ply. Looking to keep things on the reasonable side, but understand this and the jigs if done right should last a really long time.
Hi Colin, I am so happy you supplied this feed on making the table release mod. I followed it and it works great. I also have some photos I will send you if I can learn how to do that. Thanks for being such a good instructor of woodworking builds.
Just to let every one no That I got the folding braces from ebay and the prices are from £14.99 for the pair this is a great extension table and I am only waiting for the braces to come then I can fit my extension table .
Great video Will be making this for my table saw and of course add the outfeed table. Thanks for all your vids.
Colin what keeps the release arm up? what holds it?
You can see a picture of the underside here in the article: www.woodworkweb.com/woodworking-videos-1/woodworking-jigs-projects/750-upgrading-the-table-saw-outfeed-table-with-a-quick-release.html
BTW, these brackets are way way cheaper than they have them at leevalley. LV has them for like $75, but other places online have them for $20.
Thanks for the great idea Colin. I built mine the other day and I just love it.. You're right about the folding shelves... $$$ worth every penny though
I got an idea, shall we use some wax on top of this board? Such as surf board wax may be? Less fraction while we are cutting guarantees a smooth edge.
What is the part number for the riser brackets? Nice job and that is exactly what I need to do for mine.
Thanks, Colin. A must-have for us old guys with bad backs.
If you had tilted the table down, you could have routered right out the end.
Great update, Colin! Question about the original build...What keeps the self tapping screws in place? Did you put something on the inside of the table saw? You screwed them through the wood verticals then the sheet metal of the saw, but they won't work their way out?
The thickness of the metal on the table saw, cause it to act as a bolt, so they stay tight.
Thanks for watching!
I like the up date on your table , But when you route out for the miter slots why did you finish with the hand saw and not just lower the table to use the router ??
Where do you get your water-soluble dye?
Amazon should have a good selection of them.
*Quality*
That's a Great Upgrade Colin.
Thanks for watching, Peter!
Thank you for a nice video and build! Ok, now, how to make folding outfeed table on my table saw that has a tilting table.. It is the INCA Major table saw but I believe that there are other table saws with tiliting table, e,g, Shopsmith.
Brilliant! I will be building this soon, with some other upgrades..
Thanks for a great idea to make life easier!
Good woodworkers are always thinking of ways to improve everything. That quality appeals to me. (Many politicians could adopt that approach.) This video takes a master woodworker and reveals the continuous improvement approach. Bravo CK!
Thanks for watching!
What a pleasure to see it works so smoothly
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you can brew up some black tea or coffee extra dark (leave the tea/coffee in the hot water until it completely cools for maximum extraction) in place of dye. It will penetrate the wood well and not leave an oily residue. The big plus to this method is no additional purchase required if you are a coffee/tea drinker. (Since you are not drinking it, you can even use some old tea/coffee grounds previously brewed - you will just need to use a LOT more as most of the tannin has already been extracted.)
I've never even heard of tea being used as a stain, so this is one you'll have to test on your own, John. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Colin for the video. A great idea to finish the table. Have a great weekend. Tim
You're welcome, Tim! Thanks for watching.
What kind of hinges are those? I’m doing it! Thanks
From his earlier Video on building the outfeed table.

Scott Page - Here's the link to the 1st video where he has the details you need : ua-cam.com/video/K1wys-PPbRw/v-deo.html
Warren posted the location where I got the brackets from www.leevalley.com/en/hardware/page.aspx?p=40037&cat=3,43648,43651
It seems the brackets are available for less on Amazon. but make sure you get the Heavy Duty version.
Just built this! Great idea.
That's a great project! Now I;m gonna have to rethink how I enclose the back end and motor for dust collection, another thing on my to do list! Also, it seems to me just a couple of rough slots for the miter sled is all you need. The guides work on the tabletop and just need clearance on the extension.
Correct, the guides on the table saw top will do all the work.
Thanks for watching!
Just what I was thinking after I saw your last video. I like your clever, simple design for it.
Thank You!
That's a very clever improvement. And very well explained in the video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Hans!
Great adaptation Colin! You will get a lot of use out of that outfeed table........... :)
Yup ... it's going to come in handy! Thanks for watching, Steve.
Thats awsome table hope i can find them brackets down under in Australia
You should be able to order them from either Amazon and Ebay. Thanks for watching!
Where can I find like this iron corner
Brilliant idea. Thanks.
Great to see this upgrade! My hinges arrived, I'll make my outfield table next week. Had these two things on my mind. Thank you! Best, @HoneyOnWales
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Another great video as we have come to expect. I can see lots of uses for those bracket/stays what type/make are they please?
I used the 16" from Lee Valley www.leevalley.com/en/hardware/page.aspx?p=40037&cat=3,43648,43651
quick and simple idea, will be making this when I make mine, cheers
Thanks for watching, June!
Very nice Colin. Like Frank and Scott I'm interested in the metal brackets. What are they called and where did you get them. If you could link to them in your store I'd be happy to buy them there.
I used the 16" from Lee Valley www.leevalley.com/en/hardware/page.aspx?p=40037&cat=3,43648,43651
Thanks for watching!
He put a link on his video where he constructed the original.
That is a pretty slick idea Sir. Very Cool !!!!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Awesome quick release jig. Nicely designed. Take Care
Thanks for watching!
Nice great idea
Great idea!
Thank You!
Related with McGyver? ;-)
lol ... I wish. Thanks for watching!
This is an awesome idea, thank you, Mr. Colin. I am going to build one this weekend.
I hope it works weel for you. Thanks for watching!
Where is your vacuum connection?
On the side of the table saw!
Nice nice watching you a video
Thank You!
Oh Bout forgot, great idea for the drop lever
Thank You!
what king of brackets are they
Looks like the ones from Rockler.
He had link to the folding brackets on previous video constructing the outfeed table.
Amazon has some a lot cheaper
Does anyone know what size brackets he used? In the original video he reference 12" or 16" brackets.
The Brackets I used were here: www.leevalley.com/en/hardware/page.aspx?p=40037&cat=3,43648,43651
16"
You can watch the original build video here: ua-cam.com/video/K1wys-PPbRw/v-deo.html

Thank You, Bill!
Brilliant upgrade.
Thank You!
Mighty impressed!
Thank You!
Nice
Thank You!
Great idea!
Thank You!
Ingenious 🖒
Thank You!
I had a disagreement with some one about your building that table, they thought the table was level with saw top but I could see it was low enough for the clear the miter slot, I can still see it
Colin couldn't see that well I guess so he went to the extra trouble of routing those slots ;-)
