    Jay, I made a pair of these after seeing your first video. My fence guide is round so I took two pieces of PVC pipe cut with an opening large enough to snap over the guide. It has worked GREAT. Thank you for all those early videos.

      Excellent idea, and it got me thinking for my limited workspace.... why not another pair for the outfeed? Unfortunately, my two car garage has a 'wife' vehicle in it and especially during the colder winter months she doesn't want to park outside. So my space is rather limited, but the very first thing I thought was "yup, and another pair for outfeed'. Great info, thanks for sharing this.

      I was seriously dating someone years ago and we were looking at houses. I said "I don't really care about the rest of the house, that's all yours. Me? I get the basement and the garage. DEAL. OF course we were looking at one with a huge basement "I can put a sewing room over here and a craft room over here. EXCUSE me? this is mine, all mine. THAT'S NOT FAIR...you get the rest of the house what do you mean NOT FAIR?

    Drill the hanging hole about 18in lower, so that it goes through the leg as well as the surface board. Then when you hang it the peg is supporting both, and the tape doesn't have to support the leg at all.

    Hi Jay
    This one of the most USEFUL videos I have seen. I just made my set of table saw infeed support arms. I have a Ridgid R4520 table saw that has an extruded aluminum front rail, so I followed your advise and made a couple of saddles. I used the very end of the rail to draw the profile on a small piece of 1/4" MDF, turned it to a template, and routed two sets of 3 pieces of 3/4" MDF which I glued together to make both saddles. I used the dimensions you provided for the T square piece, and that was it. It is a great help in the shop. Now I can easily and safely handle large sheet goods. A million thanks. Saludos desde la Ciudad de Mexico.

    About 20 years ago, I made four support pieces for my saw. I got the idea from a little Table Saw idea book by Taunton Press. My horizontal members are 1x10 pine, which stabilizes the left/right movement. Mine are only about 3’ long, great for a 48” board, but enough for a full sheet, with a little help. I just ripped a 4x8 sheet of 3/4” plywood last week. I just added a roller stand about 18” beyond the support boards - both infeed and outfeed. Very stable. The four supports hinge closed (two 1x2 legs each) and hang on a 3/4” dowel glued into a French cleat fixture on my tool wall. Those supports are my shop buddies.

    These are great and the difference in saw heights is so easy to deal with using two piece legs with slots and a few bolts and wing nuts.
    Quickie to hang these up is to stagger the hangers to nest those big horizontal supports.

    Great to see these back again. I built mine years ago, so they’re “old style Jay”, but I love how they snugly “clamp” on to the fence rail. They don’t get used often, but are such a convenience and safety item to have hanging nearby the table saw when you need them…. I added a perpendicular 5” “foot” across each leg. I think it adds a bit of stability without being too big to get underfoot

    I always watch the same videos a few times and learn things I might have missed previously. No matter how old you get you are still learning. This front rest in this video is a great, helpful and necessary idea. I'm new to table saws I have just bought my first table saw and tried cutting a sheet of plywood but found it very hard to guide it straight in the direction of the blade. I will try making these front extensions and I think they might be ideal for the out feed also as they would be light and easy to store and easier to make. I'm in my 60s and just trying to learn things I loved and was good at in school but left in the past along with new things. Great video and great idea especially helpful to myself with Arthritis and other medical complications. And great for others to learn. Very well put together video as usual

    Making a strip canoe years ago I needed to rip 0.25” or 0.75” strips from 4/4 5/4 and 8/4 boards up to 18feet in length. Started out with a dozen rollers on infeed and another on outfeed. After struggling to keep everything level, aligned and stable I rigged up plywood topped supports just like you made. I wish I could have saved the time from making and rigging all those rollers, but every hour in the shop is ‘me time’ and a learning experience.

    I had a small laminated table about 30x24. it was a easy solution when your working under deadlines, just drag it over when need, and push aside when not in use. Works great for sheets and ripping. Though I didn't use it much for ripping, I was comfortable and skilled to walk a 10 to 12' board through a rip.
