Extension table plans for a craftsman saw?
-
I have a craftsman saw that is fairly low end in terms of craftsman ship. Has anyone designed a housing and extension table using SketchUp?
-
Yes,
Have a look at this
I've got a Biesemeyer Home Workshop Fence (which is no longer sold) on it which I shortened because my basement is rather small.
Have fun,

nice plan - have you actually made this or is it just a plan? I'm wondering how practical a setup it is?

Here's a design for a router table/extension for a US General contractor's saw. I imagine the Craftsman is similar.

Yep. I built it about 18 months ago. Works great.

Yeah - I agree, nice setup. Is that a phenolic top? And what kind of base plate is that? Looks familiar... Is that the one from Harbor Freight? I only ask 'cuz I'm building my router table now and I'm goin through all these questions. Mine's just a separate RT and TS though.

Thanks!
The top is plywood with Formica I bought from Lowe's. The sheet was damaged and I got it for $5. The router plate is plastic. I picked it up at a woodworking show many years ago so sorry, I don't remember who I bought it from. I do need to support the router top side as it's sagging a bit so the plate is in a hole.
The saw was originally purchased by my grandfather, who was boat builder in New Orleans many years ago. My dad had the saw and never used it, so he gave it to me. In addition to the fence, I put a 1 1/2 hp motor on the saw and a Forrest WWII thin blade.
