Table Saw Station, drawn by Benchside at its standard size

Built around your shop

  • Your saw's base, table size and base-to-table height
  • The saw in the middle or at either end
  • Under each wing: drawers, a shelf, or a bay a rolling chest parks in
  • Fence rails that run past the wings, or in a channel under them
  • A router in one wing, an outfeed of any depth, casters

How it goes together

  1. Build the frame: leg groups at the ends and either side of the saw, aprons and cross supports.
  2. Hang the saw shelf on its ledgers, with leveling bolts in tee nuts.
  3. Glue and screw the two layers of the wings and the outfeed.
  4. Set the saw on the shelf and turn the bolts until its table is flush and level.

The plan has every step written against the part letters in its cut list, with drawings of each part that has joinery.
