You inspired me to build an infeed support table. It was a 2 hour build based on your first version. One improvement is the end cap piece, I made out of hard wood and about 2 inches longer than the horizontal support height, this allows me to clamp the leg to it so it can’t accidentally close. Thanks again for making the video.
Hi, Could you send me a picture or a sketch of your in-feed support accessory? I have a DeWalt DWE7491rs. It is a great saw, but the blade is approximately 4” or 101mm back from the front of the saw. There is no fun in trying to load up the saw and cut a 4x8 sheet of plywood by yourself. Thank you for any help you could provide, Steven
Such a simple yet sturdy support.👍 I like quick and easy. My first table saw sled was 3 pieces of wood and took me about 15 minutes to build. I watch some of these “influencers” making sleds which take hours to build, require over $100 in hardware and are so big I can barely lift it or store it.
This will really great for folks using the smaller job site saws which have a much shorter in-feed distance between the front of the front edge to the front of the blade.
Absolutely file under "why didn't I think of that." Dead simple to make and so handy. Just figured out my weekend project. Incredibly handy for using a jobsite saw, particularly if you want to be able to use a sled as you show here.
Nice idea and build. I plan to make one much like it, but because my Delta fence rail has a larger gap of about 2" (between it and the table top), I plan to make my hardwood locator block even wider than the leg assembly. That way, it helps provide better lateral stability and I can add one or two fence style clamps to hold it into place when in use.
For a small workshop, the 'Fold away anything' is a great idea 👍. If I continue with woodworking as a hobby, this will certainly be on the list. First project however is a recycled pallet being turned into a table. Knocked up a formica table (Heath Robinson would be proud of this 🙂) to convert the Skilsaw into a table saw to start with. Still have all my fingers, so I'll take that as a win 😁. First glue up today after hand planing to try face gluing that Dana Made shows on his chanel. Trying to do as much for as little cost as possible to see if I like this hobby direction. So far I do, probably because I still have all fingers 🙂. So if a proper table saw is in the future, the fold up lead in, and for that matter lead out support will be one of the first projects. As well as the 'ticking stick' information, your ideas are well received. Cheers Pete' Hokitika
Hi. Folding makes storage easy. I store one under my table saw(the smaller one I use most days) and the bigger one beside my timber. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
Wow! Great Idea! Will be making one asap! I’ll have to translate the metric info. Good old USA you know! Actually I find in my shop I would rather use the metric as its easier and more easily made accurate. Thanks again and good day to you sir!
This is an excellent accessory to the table saw. 👍👍 Now that I think of it why not one for the band saw? Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2024 and stay safe.🙂🙂
Hi Mike, I just watched this video and this is exactly what I have been cobbling to see what would be the best solution. Did your fence come with your saw or is that an aftermarket rip fence? That aluminum tray works great with your solution. My saw is the DeWalt DWE 7491rs does most of what I need. There is not enough room in front of the blade. Izzy Swan and Maggie came out with a small portable rig that clips in and out of that same type of setup. Izzy and Maggie started selling them and then decided they are not a production house. They had a few but not sure if someone else will pick up the work. Izzy and Maggie have switched over to the Harvey table saw solution. That is built like a tank. Stay Safe, Steven
Hi Steven Yes my saw came with the fence in the video. Its a Chinese made one under many brands. Haven't seen Izzys infeed support. Good luck on yours. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
When I got my table saw & wanted to rip some 4 x8 sheets it really made me nervous so I dropped the blade down set the fence & practised several dry runs untill I got the feel as to how to apply pressure to keep things straight since then no problems Having to work around a leg would get annoying real fast especially if you are doing a lot of ripping but that,s just me
Thanks for watching and commenting. Once you start using it it doesnt seem to be an issue. Only in place when cutting large stock. The great thing about a hobby is we can do it the best way that suits us. Cheers Mike
thanks for the great idea a detailed video. Working on a DeWalt 7492 there is unfortunately no similar possibility to simply hook the feed support easily, or at least I can’t see how. The only way I see at the moment to use the fence rai, for attachment, but it would be not as practical as your solution. Any thoughts or ideas on that?
Hi. Im sure you could adapt this to fit on a portable saw. Just create a mechanism to clip onto saw. My original was on a contractors saw that had a pipe slide on front and no problem clipping onto it. Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike
Great and simple idea to increase the capacity of my DeWalt job-site saw in my workshop. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. Hope your build goes well. Cheers Mike
Ingenious, but simple and elegant. Thanks for this idea - great for my small workshop and job-site saw. I'm going to build one or two.
I appreciate you watching and commenting. Hope you get as much use as I do with mine. Cheers Mike
Great idea and design. Thanks for sharing. The only modification I can think of is to drill a hole in one end so it can hang on the wall.
Thanks for watching. Great idea. Cheers Mike
Thanks for the video. Great idea. I use my saw mostly outside so I need to find a way to make the leg quite adjustable.
Im sure you will work it out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
Great design for a infeed support. Nice work.
Thank you! Cheers Mike

Thats great. I use my smaller one all the time. I like how we all adapt things to suit our own setup. Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike

Hi. Sure can. I'll sort something in the next couple of days. Email me your email. Mine is in the community tag. Cheers Mike
Such a simple but effective design.I’ve made one for my table saw and yes it does make cutting longer sheets so much easier.
Thanks for watching. Yes the old kiss theory. Cheers Mike
Such a simple yet sturdy support.👍
I like quick and easy. My first table saw sled was 3 pieces of wood and took me about 15 minutes to build. I watch some of these “influencers” making sleds which take hours to build, require over $100 in hardware and are so big I can barely lift it or store it.
Thanks for watching. Yes some of the table saw sleds are to heavy. The infeed support really made the sled easier to use. Cheers Mike
Great table saw infeed support build. Thanks Mike
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the build. Cheers Mike
Thank you for sharing your ideal
Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike
Love this idea! Thank you. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching and subscribing. You pushed me over the 750 mark. Wahoo. Cheers Mike
Simple and effective design. Love it. Will definitely make one.
Glad you enjoyed. Have fun making one. Cheers Mike
This will really great for folks using the smaller job site saws which have a much shorter in-feed distance between the front of the front edge to the front of the blade.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes it would be a good addition to a contractors saw. Cheers Mike
Mike, thi si sexactly what I need. Thank you very much for an excellent, but elegane, sdesign and video.
I'm sure you will enjoy building and using it. Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike
I searched for infeed tables for table saws and found your channel. I really like your design and will be making a similar one or two of them. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Absolutely file under "why didn't I think of that." Dead simple to make and so handy. Just figured out my weekend project. Incredibly handy for using a jobsite saw, particularly if you want to be able to use a sled as you show here.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. It is also great for long timber and sheets. Cheers Mike
I will be making those infeed and outfeeds for my tablesaw, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike
Great table saw accessory…on my way to my shop to build one…thanks 😎
Thanks for watching. Hope your build goes well. Let me know how it ends up. Cheers Mike
I agree a must have accessory… going to make one.
Good job for the new year. Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike
I really like your idea I am going to build both of them for the same reason. Well done thank you for making the video. Jerry Fox
Hi Jerry. Thanks for watching and hope they are as useful for you as they are for me. Cheers Mike

Sounds like a great addition to the idea. Let us know how it ends up. Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike
Great idea and video! I have the Dewalt Contractor Saw and the infeed table is extremely small. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for watching. Would be great for contractors saw. Cheers Mike

Thanks Pete. Great to hear you still have all your fingers. We all have started small and built up our gear. Cheers Mike
This is an awesome idea of all the supports i have seen on utube i think this is the best idea and i shall give a try . Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your comment. Im sure you will find having an infeed support is a great tool. Cheers Mike
Hello. Excellent idea. It is just awesome. I hate myself for not thinking of it. Happy new year.
Happy new year to you to. Thanks for watching and commenting. Sometime these simple ideas are the best. Cheers Mike
I like the folding design. I’m building one (or two) of those!
Hi. Folding makes storage easy. I store one under my table saw(the smaller one I use most days) and the bigger one beside my timber. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
Thank you Mike, all the best.
Thanks for that. Cheers Mike
Wow! Great Idea! Will be making one asap! I’ll have to translate the metric info. Good old USA you know! Actually I find in my shop I would rather use the metric as its easier and more easily made accurate. Thanks again and good day to you sir!
Thanks for watching. I use my small one most days. Yes New Zealand is fully metric. Will start adding imperial measurements to my videos. Cheers Mike
I have a Dewalt job site and this will come in handy thanks 🙏
Great idea. Love the fence adjustment on the Dewalt saw. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
Slick, Mike. Thanks!
Thanks. Just been editing my next video in which the infeed support is well used. Building an industrial style outside table. Cheers Mike
This is an excellent accessory to the table saw. 👍👍 Now that I think of it why not one for the band saw? Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2024 and stay safe.🙂🙂
Great idea about the bandsaw. Makes sense. Cheers Mike
Great and simple design. I did not see the hinge bolt on the new jig. What is the leg hinging upon?
Hi and thanks for watching. The second and larger one had an old door hinge. Look at about 13 minute mark. Cheers Mike

@@mikesworkshopadventures thank you
Does these accessories includes for portable table saw
