I have a dewalt 744 job site table saw and need to build an outfeed table for it. I was thinking of using 1/4″ hardboard sandwiched over 1/2″x2″ plywood honeycomb. Does anybody have any good reccommendations on how to attach it to the saw?
Thanks,
Clark

don't.. make a shelf arangement in front for the saw to set on...
fasten the saw to the shelf from the bottom side...

Nothing like a serious case of buyers remorse! Maybe I can unload it at some point in time in the near future.

I'm not sure what the pay would be since you are holding up part of the machine (does this make you a machinist or a labor). Anyway the pay would be lousy but, you would probably be making more money than me.

sure I'll hold the other end as long as it doesn't cut into my coffee or fishing time...
pay is negotiable... either's rate...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

I don't know what your saw is like, but I put a hinged outfeed table on my unisaw. The bolt holes were already there for the rear fence rail. I had to make new smaller washers to hold the rail out, and I mad a little angle iron thing to bolt back there, with a couple door hinges welded on, then screwed that to the outfeed table. Works great, folds up easily.

"so it goes"
Zak,
I appreciate the input but the rub with the Dewalt 744 job site saw is that the fence rides on a rack and pinion which stays pretty true but you can not bolt an outfeed table to it because the fence guide tube slides over the the rail. The saw body is made of plastic and it will not bear any weight without compromising the saw body.
Clark
so make a Z shaped table (side view) and have the saw set on one leg of the Z..Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

744 outfeed
Better late than never.
The trick is to purchase and install the DW7441 rear outfeed extension to the table.
You then bolt a wood block to the extension and fasten the outfeed table to the block.
I made mine with leveling adjusters on the block and on the shopbuilt table legs.
Can easily handle 8' rip cuts.
DW7441 Outfeed Question
I'm trying to do this exact setup. Would you mind sending a photo of how the table actually attaches to your blocks, and how you attached your blocks to the guide? I'm trying a different technique and don't love the way it's working. I'm also interested in your leveling adjuster setup.
thanks so much

if you are still interested you will need to mail me your address and/or email address.
I have complete instructions/photos but they will not paste into this reply space.

DeWalt outfeed table
There are solutions provided by kelligirl above including an address for full instructions.
let me be first in line for the big unloading!
mine still runs fine ... but two never hurt no one.
I have mine mounted on a trojan stand ... bet I could come straight up off the stand as an attachment point if I had to. Then again ... bet I could come straight of the plastic body if I had to ... how much stress U think's gonna be at that point?
all yer doing is sliding a sheet of ply off one table onto another.
attach to the saw ... have some legs out there somewhere ...
practically no weight at all.
just don't make a habit of having your lumber load dropped right on the saw at the edge?
anyways ... name the "below reconditioned" price and I'm in.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
what brand stand is that?

Rousseau 2500. The pictured setup happens to be exactly what I use. I like the table better than the outfeed support Bosch offers.

Jeff,
The stand is just the standard dewalt folding stand. Basically 4 legs that are pinned to open like scissors. I do like the Dewalt rack N pinnion fence and the flip bar that keeps 1/4" plywood from diving under the fence on wide rips. Your right about it being an outfeed table and not a set of sawhorses to stack half the jacks on during framing(it's all about perspective).
Clark
Am I the only one who hates that Rousseau stand? I've had one for three years, and I can't get over the feeling that for what they cost, you could engineer one that works a lot better.I'll admit, it functions, but it just seems like it functions in spite of its somewhat lacking design.
dewalt outfeed table
There are solutions below by kellystar.
Basically you install the DW 7441 rear extension per instructions and then bolt a block of wood on to it. Then bolt your shop built table to the block.
Again see more comments from me above regarding adding an outfeed table..
