Table Saw Folding Outfeed Table | DeWalt DWE7491RS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- In this woodworking video I'm going to be making a table saw folding outfeed table for my DeWalt DWE7491RS table saw. I have a tiny woodshop that is a 1 car garage and I have limited shop space. So, when I decided I needed an outfeed table, it couldn't take up any more room in my shop. My only option was a folding table saw outfeed table. This is a space saving solution that will keep your garage organized while improving the workflow in your shop. This was an easy woodworking project that drastically improved productivity. This is the perfect table saw outfeed table for a small shop.
I'll walk you though taking the plan, taking measurements, building the frame, attaching the hinges and attaching the outfeed table top. Then I'll test it and show you how it works.

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 ?
You are a great teacher !
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.
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
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.
Best solution I've seen so far ...can't wait to make mine.
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions.
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!
Hahahhahaha. Thanks.
Yep, subbed after watching the intro. I need this.
Haha, thanks! Also have plans on my website if you're interested. howidothingsdiy.com/plans/ols/products
BOUGHT THE PLANS AND BUILT IT. SO HAPPY HOW IT CAME OUT. THANK YOU
That's awesome!! Thanks so much for the comment and for helping support my channel!
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.
Thanks so much! Let me know if you have any questions. I respond pretty quickly to my messages from my website.
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.
I'm glad I was able to inspire you! Come back and let me know how it turns out!
What I love most is that you figured it out while you went (if the video is true). That's the way I work. Glad to see someone else trusts their gut.
I have a secret. I'm always figuring it out as I go... Haha.
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.
That's awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I just made your outfeed table off your video and I love it, thank you for your videos
Awesome! I really appreciate that. I'm just getting started!
That's a great solution, and I love those hinges / brackets!
Thanks! I love those hinges!
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!
Thank you so much! Yes, it definitely does help!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. This has totally solved my problem.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Great video. I have a similar saw and was looking to do the same thing.
Thank you. If you're interested, here's a link to the plans. I'm working on the folding infeed table right now.
Now you're talking. Great build idea.
I'm thinking about doing a folding infeed table as well.
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.
I love those hinges. I have plans on my website if you're interested. Thanks for watching. www.howidothingsdiy.com
I like it! I still may add the grooves for the sled. What do you mean by more room for bevel cuts?
Nice job on the outfeed table. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I hope it was helpful for you!
I have the same portable saw. This is a great option for me. Thanks,
Well thought out!
Thanks so much. I still love mine. More intmfo over on my website if you're interested. Www.howidothingsdiy.com
Well thought out and well executed
Thanks and thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks so much! Glad I was helpful without being annoying. Haha.
Way to go, love all your videos!
Thanks!
Wowwww...awesome! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Great job! I might change my out feed table to the folding
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
That look easy. Im going to hook mine up for sure..
Do it! It's game changer. Thanks for the comment!
Very smart and simple design.
Thank you very much! I have plans on my website if you're interested. Thanks for watching! howidothingsdiy.com/printable-pdf-plans
Thanks for a great idea.
You're welcome!
Great idea.
Thanks!
I made this table after I watched this video.. it's awesome.. thank you so much for that video.
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.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY I understand.. thank you for the heads up. I'm watching all of your videos 😁
I love hearing that! I'm working on a new one right now. Looking forward to your comments!
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
Fantastic! I'm so happy to have you join my channel. I'm taking a brief break but will be adding more content soon!
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.
Heck ya! If you're interested, I have plans for this and lots of other stuff on my website. Www.howidothingsdiy.com
Nice timing, I'm working on the same thing this weekend
It's going to be a game changer!
I dig it😎. Thanks for the tutorial. I will absolutely build myself one!!!
Awesome. You're welcome. Just be sure to make the modifications to the frame to get a full bevel cut. I made plans with this update if you're interested. howidothingsdiy.com/plans/ols/products/dewalt-dwe7491-folding-outfeed-table-plans
@@HowIDoThingsDIY yes absolutely, I did take note of that. Thank you so very much
You're very welcome. Happy building!
I'm up on the second floor of my house right now, and I can hear my Metabo C10RJS taunting me all the way from my basement. GREAT IDEA!!!!!!
Hahahah. Shoot, I think I can hear it too.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY LOL
Congrats on the 1k! Awesome outfeed table build
Thanks! Ya. I'm excited to start my next project so I can test it out!
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
Oh and congratulations on that awesome 1k you deserve it.
Thanks so much
Taking delivery of this saw this week. Just found your channel. Subbed. Will be doing this outfeed table, thanks!
That's awesome! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Thank you, sir. Delivery is tomorrow. Been watching your other vids and enjoy your content!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Very nice
Thank you.
I made an outfeed table like that and also a side table for wider/longer boards. Both fold down using those same clamps.
Awesome! I'd love to see a picture.
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!
You could shift the table top outward by however much it interferes.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY good point... but then again, I have this router track guide to justify... know what I mean??
I definitely know what you mean! Let me know how it turns out!
Full watch man, that's a nice addition to your table, also noticed the legit sticker, very nice.
Dude. Thanks! This was literally one of the best things Ive done for my shop.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY I can tell, and that wax finish is a great idea.
I put the $hit on everything.
I have the 240v dewalt saw with the same stand and was thinking of how to make an outfeed table. Thanks!
Also, hello from Denmark!
Awesome! Hopefully this helps! Hello from Wisconsin!
That's awesome, great to see other builders from different countries!
@@inspiringbuilds This is why I love UA-cam!
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!
Great idea… I’m tired of setting up plywood on sawhorses to make temporary out feed tables -thanks!
Psst… I believe your lift handle is 180 out of phase.
Thanks. There are two ways to put the handle, per the instructions or rotate so you can set the saw on the ground if you want. If you're interested in the plans, you can get them here. howidothingsdiy.com/plans/ols/products/dewalt-dwe7491-folding-outfeed-table-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.
That would be worth a try! I don't have any issues reaching under and I like the top to be clean.
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.
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!!!
Haha. I usually have an idea and then figure it out as I go. Sometimes I make a plan but not always.
Good vid! the grab handle for the table saw stand if upside down though
I just assembled it per the instructions. Thanks for the comment.
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.
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.
I would agree. Thanks so much.
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.
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.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Love this -- just ordered the plans (V2 -- which I hope addresses the bevel issue). Question -- is 1/2" plywood for the table not recommended?
Thanks!
I replied to your Etsy message. I definitely recommend 3/4" for strength and stiffness. You can usually buy a smaller piece.
The dwe7485 seems harder to do this to. You at least have to lose the wrench storage. And overall smaller, im not sure if its worth it
Hmmm... I'd have to look into it. I haven't used one.
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!
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.
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
Have your plans for the folding out feed table been updated to accommodate the issue with bevel cuts? Thanks
Yes. You there is added clearance for a full 45 degree cut. If you buy them and your not happy I'll gladly refund your money.
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.

The wax can cause fisheye problems with some finishes.
I suppose it could. I haven't had that happen yet. What do you use?
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!
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!
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.
Hey Travis, what update did you make to the frame for the 45’s is it possible to see the update you made? Thanks Travis
Jeff
I made a post on it on my community tab. See if you can find it. If not email me. My email is howidothingsdiy@gmail.com. I can send you a photo.
Jeff, shoot me that email and I'll send you a photo of my current set up.
Is that a play-along track for "Solar" in the background? That has to be a first.
Maybe?
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!
The Buckley's of outfeed tables. Looks awful, works great!
Function over form. I still love this thing!
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.
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.
Need a support on the outside
I appreciate the suggestion.
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"
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! :)
What type of blade are you looking for? Dado set? Ripping blade? Combination blade?
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Thank you for the quick response! I forgot to mention that I'm looking for a combination blade.

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.
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 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

$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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
