The Cheap And Lazy Challenge


I didn't want to spend time doing it right, or buying something that is made specifically for my table saw. I just needed to get my table saw up in the air.

A 2' x 2' piece of 5/8" CDX
4 - 4" x 4" PT for the legs
4 screws
1 wobbly table saw table

I am so ****ing lazy.

Table saw stand my eye.

Put some casters on that thing and you have a rolling island.

Who couldn't use more work space in the kitchen?

Re: The Cheap And Lazy Challenge


uh-oh, I probably owe you a fee as well. I've got something similar in the shop as a stand for my mini-fridge.

Leo has the corner of the market on that design. I had no choice but to pay him royalty fees.

Re: The Cheap And Lazy Challenge


Looks good to me!! I have seen a design using two hollow core doors hinged together with a cut out for the saw to fit flush with them when unfolded. Then it folds away with some folding horses... I can't remember where i saw it

Re: The Cheap And Lazy Challenge


Why can't people just use one of these?



I've had one for years, it saves so much time and hassle. I've never seen anyone else but me with a stand and outfeed table. It's why I hate using other people's table saws, they never have a stand set up right.

Re: The Cheap And Lazy Challenge


That's just not in the spirit of the title....

I'm a fan of out-feed tables myself...the one below is not real portable.

My Dewalt has the folding stand and aftermarket re-tractable back and side supports.
