I’m making an outfeed table / workbench. I have three design ideas for the frame right under the top. Which ones do you think is best? I want it to stay flat and have some easy clamping on the edge. I have numbers next to each one.

I’d say 2.

As for clamps, I’d just run some dado grooves and install T-tracks to give yourself maximum flexibility

We think alike. I would use a router too. It’s actually the only way I ever cut dados.

Amateur question here, but why would the center piece not be even all the way through?

Gotcha, thank you

Have you considered a Paulk style top? The plywood construction makes it super stable with humidity changes/general warping. I have one with the MFT style holes and bent a couple of quick clamps to use with it. So far I like it but may re-top it with t-tracks eventually. The jury is still out on that.

I’ve been considering the same type of top. I don’t want to invest in a dado stack yet. and that build would be a beast without one. Other than my table saw, I don’t have a good true flat surface in my shop either so I’m hoping for something close to perfect, then maybe build the Paulo style top.

Using this as an excuse to pick up a big ‘ol bandsaw, biscuit joiner, moar clamps & a dust collection system! Taking a week off to build the majority of it and then will finish it up in the evenings.

Anyone here own a saw stop PCS or a Powermatic PM2000? Ive been setting aside money in my woodworking slush fund for a good cabinet saw to replace my contractor saw, and I’m intrigued by the SS’s hotdog sensing technology. Eager to hear opinions from anyone who owns one of the two saws.

So I’m space constrained right now & there aren’t any maker spaces around me so I’m going a little crazy not being able to work on any projects. Humor me and show me what you are working on!

Any projects being worked during break? Show and Tell!

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

I can't wait for it to cool off so I can try my hand at making furniture. Too hot to work in my shop right now. Planning to make this out of wood.
