Where to buy folding adjustable table legs for my outfeed table

Dick,

Have you considered just buying a folding table at an office supply?
My outfeed table is made from an 8' folding table sawed in half. I
built an adaptor board to mount it to my table saw. I also built a
small box out of 3/8" plywood to raise the legs off the floor. You can
buy readi-made folding tables in lengths 4' or longer for around
$40-$50.

I've seen these legs in pairs sell at auctions for less than $10, still
attached to their tables. Here in town we have a surplus property
auction (state & local gov'ts, local university, public schools) every
month, and these tables frequently show up there, often with good legs
and a trashed top. Good luck.

A past issue of American Woodworker mag. had a nice home made one, but more
applicable for a stand that's not a fold-up. Attached between the saw and
the stand, making it solid, and an integral part of the stand.

I started to make some legs for my outfeed table out of dowel with an adjustible
glide on the bottom. I was going to attach it to the table bottom by drilling
through a piece of oak with two superimosed hole saws. The resulting piece of
wood that I popped out of the hole saw would have served perfectly as a way to
attach the leg to the table. What I ended up doing was using one of my outfeed
roller stands as the legs. It's instantly adjustable and I wasn't using them
for anything anyway now that I had the table.

Dick...

Since you have a table saw, why not make your own? The Ebco legs
adjust in 1" increments (so it could come out, say, 15/16" lower
than your saw table).

I built my own out of 1x4 pine; and it would be easy to make the
legs hinged and to add leveling feet.

I have a Bosch 4000 that sits on a stand.

So I think the answer to your question is "yes".

I used these and made my own legs with a leveler in the bottom.

The problem I see with the legs you are looking at is the only adjustment is
determined by the preset indentions. Can't fine tune it to be level with
the table.

Dick, what style of saw do you have? Is it basically a saw in a box, that
mounts to a stand via a bolt in each corner?

Thanks for the advice and pictures on your website. I would need four legs
rather than two as there is no place on the outfeed end of my table saw to
attach the table to the saw but that should be easy enough to do.

Looks like you found a source. You won't find them much cheaper, IMO.
I made my own. I used a 1 x 4 and hinged it tot he bottom of the table. I
bought the folding bracket from Woodcraft or Lee Valley. To make both legs
swing at the same time, just put a 1 x 2 across them.
