[Marcjwebb]

Thank you

I built a router table cabinet and i made it such that i bolt it to the side of my table saw and it becomes the side extension for wider boards. will take a photo over weekend.

 

[Marcjwebb]

That would be great to see. Keep me posted

 

[Woodmonkey]

Yep I did the same. Obviously the router fence comes off if needed for ripping wider stuff.

 

[Marcjwebb]

very nice, is that the bigger charnwood tablesaw ( the 10" version ) ??

 

[Woodmonkey]

Yes w650

 

[JonnyW]

That's an excellent idea Woodmonkey and really nicely done. Any chance of sticking some more photos up.

I was looking to do the same as Marc and that has really inspired me.

It is very smart. Looks great. I'm sure works just as well as it looks

 

[Woodmonkey]

Sure I will post some more pics next week when I'm back in the workshop. I can't claim the idea though I stole it from someone else on here…can't remember who

hows your experience with that saw been anyway, currently on look out for a replacement of my ts200, for someting with more infeed sapce and slightly better for bigger work like panels and sheet

 

[Woodmonkey]

The saw is ok it will rip through 3" oak or beech quite happily, but for cutting panels or sheet goods you will be much better off with a track saw, more accurate easier to use and no tear out

Before I bought a track saw I made an out feed table for my AGS so I could support sheet materials when cutting them, I fitted my router to it, T track & made a removable fence. Made from 26mm MFC it doubled as an assembly table

Apologies for the poor pictures, but this is my TS200 extension. It is basically two pieces od 12mm birch ply laminated together, and then a stainless steel type laminate glued to the top and edges. Slot routed down one side with a UKJ ally rail screwed into it. Then routed a hole it for the router plate insert (bought from Amazon in the US for about £40 delivered to the UK).

Lots better than the pressed steel Axminster extension.

The wood outfeed table at the back I made out of spare bits of old pine ikea furniture (cut and planed). It is basically on castors with a lower shelf for the Titan thicknesser/planer, it also has slots routed into to that to continue the mitre slots. With it being on castors, and at the same height of the TS, I can either use it as an outfeed table or move it around to the left side to give more stability to larger bits.

Now I have the Dewalt tracksaw, I am pretty much using that for any sheet goods anyway...
