After five years of hard use, the prototype for the fold-down table you see here has become an essential feature on my cabinet saw. It provides a 30"-deep platform behind the machine - plenty of room to keep long rip cuts from tipping off into the netherworld - and its triangulated design is sturdy as can be. Ordinary barrel-bolt hardware locks it quickly in the “up” position, so I never have to futz with the setting. It mounts to the saw's back fence rail and sets up with an extendable leg that props against the cabinet. So, my solution was to build an outfeed table that I can flip up when I need it and fold down when I don't. I've tried using a worktable back there, but it's just one more fixture to get in the way in a small shop, and, I've never found a roller stand that provides the amount of stability I want. No cabinet saws that I'm aware of provide a means of support behind the saw where I really need it. But I use a table saw even more often for ripping lumber. Many new cabinet saws have a side extension table, and they’re a big help for supporting wide sheet materials or long workpieces when crosscutting.
