In reply to James Rawlings. The table saw bottom has two parts to allow space between them for the sawdust to fall into the tray below. One piece is wider than the other to account for the dust collection hose behind the saw. You can certainly make the bottom out of one piece, but you'll end up with sawdust collecting underneath the saw that you'll have to suck up with a shop vac every once in a while. For Piece M, you want a 1/16" gap between the saw and the top to allow the sliding fence to move freely. On the SawStop Jobsite saw, there are two bars on the front and back of the table that slide out to make wider cuts. I had to trim the top slightly to allow it to move. If you're using a different saw, your fence may work differently. I love your drop leaf table idea for the left side! I'll also consider making an exploded view for more complicated builds like this one in the future. I use SketchUp to make my plans, so I should be able to do that pretty easily.

Veneta, I have your table saw plans and I have some questions. First, why are there 2 parts for the saw bottom (Parts D & E)? Next, why is the Top Back (Part M) 8 11/16" wide. Assuming that the Back (Part B) is 3/4", there will be a 1/16" gap along Part M. I suggest for future projects, you include an "exploded" view with parts labels. I use Sketchup to model all projects so that I can catch any project errors before I cut anything. An "exploded" view would be extremely helpful. To save space, I plan on eliminating the drawer cabinet on the left. The Top Left (Part U) will be foldable like on drop leaf table. Lastly, I love your plans!

In reply to Barbara. The outfeed area behind the saw blade is attached with countersunk screws, so I can remove them and access the area behind the saw if necessary. There's 6-8 inches behind the saw, so it's not too difficult to reach in and make adjustments. The cord comes out through the same hole as the dust collection hose.

I like the design. Am considering the build for my Dewalt jobsite saw, currently on scissor stand. However, I'm curious how easy it is to access the back of the saw. Once in awhile I have to make adjustments from the back of the saw to realign my blade to the miter slot. Also, I'm curious where the electrical cord comes out?

In reply to Bucky. I have the SawStop Jobsite table saw. It's a great saw, and the safest one out there!

Great write up! Just curious what kind of table saw do you have. Still not sure if I’m ready to add a table saw but a job site one seems like it may be a good route to go. Thanks!
