I have made an update to this table since this video. I noticed that when trying to make bevel cuts on the table saw that the dust port would hit the frame. I would suggest moving the saw from 0-full bevel to make sure your frame is wide enough.

I’m in the middle of making the what I call the “Travis Out feed table” so what your saying is to make sure the frame that attaches to the stand is wide enough for the dust port ?
Ya. Set the saw to a max degree bevel cut and build around where the dust port sticks out. I missed this the first time. I made a quick fix for now but I plan to rebuild the frame and make some plans for my website.
You probably could. Would have to take the router out before folding up. Yes, it's stable. If I stood on it the entire table saw would probably flip over before the outfeed table breaks. Haha.
I've just been stacking Amazon boxes and crates with a small piece of plywood on top as my makeshift outfeed table like some kind of lazy peasant. This is nice!
I made this today from your idea. Happily, I noticed the bevel issue before mounting the frame, so that sort of took care of itself. One thought for you... you might want to route out grooves in the outfeed to accommodate runoff by a miter gage or large sled. Let's start looking at an infeed for this table now!! Ha! Great vids. Thanks very much!
Awesome! I commented and also made plans on my website of the 3rd iteration of this table to fix the bevel issue. Im still trying to decide if I want to cut in grooves. I find every time I use something that uses the miter slots, I don't need the outfeed table so I just told it down.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY my folded down outfeed surface ended up a bit too high. Anything in the miter slot still hits the outfeed, whether it's folded, or not. My bad on that one. Still... your design makes great sense. Thanks VERY much!
Looking at doing this to 7485. You have best solution I have seen. With smaller saw I may try less robust frame and table. Yours seems heavy on out feed. Thanks for the inspiration.
Ive used those same hinges for out feed table on my Band saw...works great thanks for posting. I also need a outfield table for the same saw. Good Idea.
Hello my friend . I like you and I am also in my beginnings in carpentry and your explanation is brief and useful, congratulations. I hope to continue. I am one of your fans and followers. I am from Qatar - in the Middle East
Thanks a bunch, Travis, I have the exact same saw and I have always felt the need for an outfeed table. This idea was just insanely brilliant. I got the plan off your website and ordered the parts and supplies to build it this weekend.
Excellent solution to an annoying and common problem. Sadly, I just recently sold my DW7491 and replaced it with a full-sized cabinet saw. The manufacturer of the new saw offers an optional all-metal folding outfeed table, but it's fairly expensive, and I think, over-engineered. I believe I'm going to use a variation of your design to add both outfeed AND side-support folding tables to the new cabinet saw. Thanks for planting the seed...
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment. I'm so glad it worked out for you. Just be aware that I had to modify it to clearance it to be able to do a full 45-degree miter cut. My plans are updated, but I can't really update the video.

Just found your channel. Thank you for the calm unobtrusive music. Love your clean appearance and my husband just ordered those cool brackets to make his table.
Fantastic job! I was looking for this exact thing a few months back but didn't find this video until now. I can't wait to get those brackets in and get started on this project.
You really should. I love mine. I pretty much use it every time I use my saw. I made some tweaks to ensure I could get to a fully 45 degree bevel cut. I can walk you though them if you need any help. I also have downloadable plans on my website. howidothingsdiy.com/plans
What about putting finger holes through the table right at the end of the hinge? That way you could activate the hinge release levers from above without reaching around under the table.
I haven't had that issue. It's pretty stable. But physics is physics. If you cut a super heavy, long piece, you could probably make it tip. But I don't think that would happen.
Thanks for sharing this video. I was able to use your affiliate link for the hinges and build one of these tables for my saw. It's going to come in very handy. Subscribed and looking forward to more content.
Finished my (your) outfeed table yesterday. Thank you for clear and straightforward plans! I love it and have already put it to work cutting some 30" x 27" plywood panels. Worked as well as I had hoped. Purchased some equipment through your channel. Hope it helps. I'll be making your box joint jig soon!
I love the addition!!! It sure beets calling the wife to come hold the end,,, we have all been there.... I think. How long does it take you to plan something like this? For myself, ill plan for days and then when I build it, it goes quick. Follow the plan!!! You seem to always have a well thought out idea before the build but definitely goes smother then mine do. I also love how you added "pretty" as you were going. We always add, adjust or take away as you get into it the project. Hats off!!!
My opinion is a tables saw is only as good as it's outfeed table. Just ordered those hinges, and planning to add that table saw to my mobile work trailer later this week as an addition to my current cordless dewalt table saw for job site use. Was looking at thet saw you are useing a few days ago, and liked that is has the bar across the back to mount an outfeed table. Very nice design you came up with.. I'll put it to use.
Travis, 2 quick questions, and a comment... Do you think using 3/4" MDF would work for this project, or might it be too heavy? How come you didn't rout out a couple slots for the miter tracks? Acturally, maybe the gap between the table and saw makes that unnessesary? Great idea and plans Travis, and nice video editing! Getting started right away on this. Gene
I would use plywood. MDF chips in the corners and doesn't have the same support strength. You can cut miter slots if you want. I just fold my table down when I use my sled. I was concerned miter slots would weaken the table. However, I've seen others add that to my design. Thanks!
Thank you very much for the video! May I please ask you - what type of blade do you use? I have the same saw but I know it accepts only 250 mm blades, so a common 254 mm (10") will probably hit the components of the device. Thank you! :)

I have this table saw and came across your video. I'm going to try to make this today but I was wondering if it matters the size of the brackets? I can only find 16" brackets without having to order them. I'm thinking 16" brackets should work fine, right?
They probably will work but they may hang over the frame of the saw a bit when folded down. FYI, I did find an issue with my original design when making 45 degree bevel cuts. I had to adjust the frame so the dust port will clear. I addressed that in my plans if your interest. If not, just make sure you take that into consideration. Thanks for the comment! Let me know if you have any other questions. howidothingsdiy.com/plans/ols/products/dewalt-dwe7491-folding-outfeed-table-plans
I was going to add miter slots but I didn't want to weaken the 3/4" plywood and it it's totally out of the way when folded down so I didn't see the need. Thanks for the comment!
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Excellent! I have the same saw and will be downloading the plans right after I get my miter and dado miter sleds built. Some many fun things to build!
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Will do. I have watched several other… lets just say” less than optimal”… ways of creating an outfeed table for this saw. This is hands down the best. Truth be told I don’t buy plans, ever. But you figured out everything I want to know so well worth the download. Why don’t you have a patreon?
@@lincolndickerson1293 Thanks so much. I have a patreon but it's not fully developed. I decided to use the UA-cam version which just says, "Join" below the video or on my channel. Here's a link if you want to check it out. ua-cam.com/channels/boCCtnsCslt0ZT9W47thcA.htmljoin
No. I just fold it down when I use a sled but you could also cut dado slots for clearance. I didn't like the idea of cutting 1/2" deep slots in my 3/4" thick outfeed table. Thanks for the question!
This is nice, but if you find yourself in a pinch needing a table extension you can use an ironing board. They are very and easily adjustable in height.
I like the idea of using those hinges. I want to do the same because I know how helpful this would be BUT my saw isn't the greatest. It has bigger issues.... like a wonky fence.
Been using a cordless dewalt table saw last couple of years for job site stuff (have a 60 year old powermatic cabinet maker table saw with a Biesmeyer fence at home) . Wasn't happy with the fence on the cordless dewalt ether, so made my own T square type of fence. I'm considering getting the saw he has in the video to add to my job site trailer, so will see how the fence works out.
I planned to add them but it's so easy to just fold it down when I need to use a sled that I never got around to it. On my plans I offer it as optional.
Just about to make this, but two quick questions: 1) did you square off the rounded edges of the 2x4s? and 2) for the pieces that make up the small frame attached to the saw, do they end up all being 1.5" x 1.5" or so?
You don't have to square off the 2x4s, but you can if you like. I ripped 2x4' in half and the flipped 90 degrees to make sure they were square. By the time I cleaned the "2x2" in half, they were 1 3/8"
Ya... they don't make one. I found one for a different Makita model and then made modifications to the saw to make it work. It actually worked surprisingly well and looks like it was meant to be there. I'll see if I can find what I ordered.
Congrats on 1k subs, I’m along with you in the journey for many more! I was waiting for the video as I have the same saw sitting new in a box for several months now. I was surprised you didn’t use your taper jig for the bracket angles. Lol right when I was thinking you should use paste wax to finish it off to help material slide you did. Nice work! 👍🏼
Thanks! I actually cut the angles with my jigsaw but that footage got lost somehow... Hahah. I was trying to figure out the best way to cut that angle... It never even dawned on my to use the taper jig, which is the obvious choice. Oops.
Thanks for the sub!!I love those hinges. I also used them for my fold down work bench! They can even take the weight of my planer! Here's a link showing my work shop setup with fold down work bench. ua-cam.com/video/kXzVISeXGpQ/v-deo.html
Hmmm... I haven't. I have to put this thing away after each use, so I don't want to overcomplicate it. It seems like that would also get in the way of the controls.
Jeff, thanks so much for supporting the channel right from the start. That's awesome! I think this is the adapter I use on the saw. Double check before ordering. I bought it on Amazon but you could also order throu DeWalt. It tapers, not straight like it shows in the photo. www.dewalt.com/products/accessories/tool-accessories/dust-management-accessories/tapered-large-diameter-adapter-for-dewalt-dust-extractors/dwv9140
Awesome approach! I’m thinking about getting this table saw and doing the same thing, but I’ve got some space restrictions. What’s the total width of your saw with this outfeed support when everything is folded up?
Very nicely made outfeed table, what was the maximum weight allowed for those brackets? I'm kind of shocked with the price you paid for that Plywood as well. New Subscriber. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)
Thanks! There's a link in the description to the brackets. Amazon states the max weight of the brackets is 440lbs. My portable table saw would flip far before that!! I also use a larger version of these for my folding work bench top. The work bench top weights like 75lbs and the planer I put on it is another 92lbs. Ive never had an issue!
Your handle on the stand is installed backwards. The handle should point up and the two pipe ends should curve up not down. The little rubber pad should be on the other side of the pipe where they can sit in contact with the ground. This all effects the length of the outfeed table unfortunately for those of us who have this installed correctly.

I have this table saw and came across your video. I'm going to try to make this today but I was wondering if it matters the size of the brackets? I can only find 16" brackets without having to order them. I'm thinking 16" brackets should work fine, right?
They probably will work but they may hang over the frame of the saw a bit when folded down. FYI, I did find an issue with my original design when making 45 degree bevel cuts. I had to adjust the frame so the dust port will clear. I addressed that in my plans if your interest. If not, just make sure you take that into consideration.
Thanks for the comment! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great outfeed table! Did you have to add mitre slots later or when folded down is the outfeed table out of the way when using a sled?
I was going to add miter slots but I didn't want to weaken the 3/4" plywood and it it's totally out of the way when folded down so I didn't see the need. Thanks for the comment!
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Excellent! I have the same saw and will be downloading the plans right after I get my miter and dado miter sleds built. Some many fun things to build!
@@lincolndickerson1293 Sounds great! Let me know if you have any questions.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Will do. I have watched several other… lets just say” less than optimal”… ways of creating an outfeed table for this saw. This is hands down the best. Truth be told I don’t buy plans, ever. But you figured out everything I want to know so well worth the download. Why don’t you have a patreon?
@@lincolndickerson1293 Thanks so much. I have a patreon but it's not fully developed. I decided to use the UA-cam version which just says, "Join" below the video or on my channel. Here's a link if you want to check it out. ua-cam.com/channels/boCCtnsCslt0ZT9W47thcA.htmljoin
Congrats on the 1k! Awesome outfeed table build
Thanks! Ya. I'm excited to start my next project so I can test it out!
Will the runners on your table sled clear the outfeed table?
No. I just fold it down when I use a sled but you could also cut dado slots for clearance. I didn't like the idea of cutting 1/2" deep slots in my 3/4" thick outfeed table. Thanks for the question!
Good content as always!
Thanks! I try to improve a little with every one.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY I'm falling behind
@@FowlersFarmhouseMore Everyone goes at their own pace!
This is nice, but if you find yourself in a pinch needing a table extension you can use an ironing board. They are very and easily adjustable in height.
That could work! Thanks for the comment.
2:29 - someone tell me what is the purpose of those handle tubes bent down?
I've been told I need to flip it so I can work with the saw on the floor. However, I would never do that, so I never flipped it.
I like the idea of using those hinges. I want to do the same because I know how helpful this would be BUT my saw isn't the greatest. It has bigger issues.... like a wonky fence.
Those hinges are awesome. Thanks for watching!
Been using a cordless dewalt table saw last couple of years for job site stuff (have a 60 year old powermatic cabinet maker table saw with a Biesmeyer fence at home) . Wasn't happy with the fence on the cordless dewalt ether, so made my own T square type of fence. I'm considering getting the saw he has in the video to add to my job site trailer, so will see how the fence works out.
No miter slots?
I planned to add them but it's so easy to just fold it down when I need to use a sled that I never got around to it. On my plans I offer it as optional.
Just about to make this, but two quick questions: 1) did you square off the rounded edges of the 2x4s? and 2) for the pieces that make up the small frame attached to the saw, do they end up all being 1.5" x 1.5" or so?
You don't have to square off the 2x4s, but you can if you like. I ripped 2x4' in half and the flipped 90 degrees to make sure they were square. By the time I cleaned the "2x2" in half, they were 1 3/8"
Wowwww...awesome! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Need a support on the outside
I appreciate the suggestion.
I clicked on your link for the hinges. What is correct size. Btw, great videography
Thanks! I'll go measure real quick for you.
I used the 14" for this outfeed table.
I have the same circular saw and CANNOT find a dust-collection attachment... can you pls tell me what you're using on yours??
Ya... they don't make one. I found one for a different Makita model and then made modifications to the saw to make it work. It actually worked surprisingly well and looks like it was meant to be there. I'll see if I can find what I ordered.
Found it! This is the one I used. amzn.to/3krNLvO. Hit me up at howidothingsdiy@gmail.com and I can try to explain what I did to make it fit.
I have the same saw, what are the measurements
26.5" long x 24" wide and around 4" gap to the saw. Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out my next video next week when I use it!
Thanks
Congrats on 1k subs, I’m along with you in the journey for many more! I was waiting for the video as I have the same saw sitting new in a box for several months now. I was surprised you didn’t use your taper jig for the bracket angles. Lol right when I was thinking you should use paste wax to finish it off to help material slide you did. Nice work! 👍🏼
Thanks! I actually cut the angles with my jigsaw but that footage got lost somehow... Hahah. I was trying to figure out the best way to cut that angle... It never even dawned on my to use the taper jig, which is the obvious choice. Oops.
Thank You for this. The hinges are great, I’ve copied your idea for my dewalt. Love it thank you 🙏
Ps subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!!I love those hinges. I also used them for my fold down work bench! They can even take the weight of my planer! Here's a link showing my work shop setup with fold down work bench. ua-cam.com/video/kXzVISeXGpQ/v-deo.html
Have you ever thought about making a small infeed table/support to extend the capacity?
Hmmm... I haven't. I have to put this thing away after each use, so I don't want to overcomplicate it. It seems like that would also get in the way of the controls.
Do you know if this outfeed table will work on a Dewalt DW745 saw. Thanks!
I don't know for sure. But I would think my instructions could be easily adapted to other saws. Sorry I'm not more helpful.
Where did you get the dust port adapter for your saw ? Huge fan of your channel Travis, I think I was like the first 10 of your subs. Thanks jeff
Jeff, thanks so much for supporting the channel right from the start. That's awesome! I think this is the adapter I use on the saw. Double check before ordering. I bought it on Amazon but you could also order throu DeWalt. It tapers, not straight like it shows in the photo. www.dewalt.com/products/accessories/tool-accessories/dust-management-accessories/tapered-large-diameter-adapter-for-dewalt-dust-extractors/dwv9140
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Thanks Travis,
No problem! Thank you!
The wax can cause fisheye problems with some finishes.
I suppose it could. I haven't had that happen yet. What do you use?
Awesome approach! I’m thinking about getting this table saw and doing the same thing, but I’ve got some space restrictions. What’s the total width of your saw with this outfeed support when everything is folded up?
Thanks for watching! 31" wide when folded.
Can't help but notice your handle for pulling the saw on wheels is upside down, the pads where it bolts to the frame are designed to be the low point.
You are correct. Thanks for the comment!
Very nicely made outfeed table, what was the maximum weight allowed for those brackets?
I'm kind of shocked with the price you paid for that Plywood as well.

Thanks! There's a link in the description to the brackets. Amazon states the max weight of the brackets is 440lbs. My portable table saw would flip far before that!! I also use a larger version of these for my folding work bench top. The work bench top weights like 75lbs and the planer I put on it is another 92lbs. Ive never had an issue!
Also, I'm sure the plywood would be cheaper now... I bought during the peak but I needed it
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Nice to know i have been thinking of something like your fold down workbench before due to lack of space in my shed.
Stay Safe.
Obviously I would prefer a massive woodworking bench in the middle of the room, but this is 1000x better than a folding table or working on the floor.
Your handle on the stand is installed backwards. The handle should point up and the two pipe ends should curve up not down. The little rubber pad should be on the other side of the pipe where they can sit in contact with the ground. This all effects the length of the outfeed table unfortunately for those of us who have this installed correctly.
Thanks for the tip. I'll flip it.
I wanted to order your plans but I only use PayPal online. Nice video, though.
I think my website takes PayPal. Otherwise, you can PayPal me directly at howidothingsdiy@gmail.com and I'll email you the PDF.
Thanks. I'll give it a try. I just saw your reply.

The Buckley's of outfeed tables. Looks awful, works great!
Function over form. I still love this thing!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Its cool. Not you got me thinking how I can do this with 8020
Perfect. I'm glad I gave you some ideas.
That's the one drawback to this saw. No out feed support.
For sure, but I think this solution fixes it!
$70 plywood sheet + 2 shelf brackets $26 each, seems too much for tiny foldable table
I didn't use the entire sheet of plywood. You're welcome to do whatever you feel is right. I love it and it was totally worth it to me.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Thank you, I feel free , that is why I left my comment :)
Perfect! Thanks!
😂😂😂
😂
Gawd damn…. $77 for that potato-chip looking piece of crap? That’s Baltic Birch money lol 😮
Tell me about it... This was at the peak of plywood prices. It would be less now.
Why do people have to ruin otherwise great videos with atrocious background music? otherwise great vid!
Thanks! I try to eliminate dead air. I try to dial the volume down, and I talk more on my newer videos. Check some of my newer videos out.
You think I Elias can make to my Metabo Table Saw? That be so sweet I be cutting solo … haha
Maybe! When you watched the video, did it seem similar? I would be willing to give you a free set of plans if you would report back what's different.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY cool yes I will May we can make something for others to get more help that see a sci-fi fix.. for all to see an open new world of machines
