Oversize Bandsaw Table Supports Big Parts and Panels

When cutting long, curved furniture parts on my bandsaw, I had difficulty maneuvering them safely and accurately using my normal work stands. So I made this table extension, which measures 4 ft. wide by 7 ft. long. The notch at the front left corner provides clearance for my body. Ribs underneath add rigidity and fit around the existing bandsaw table, letting me use Quick-Grip clamps to secure it. The table is supported at each end with a work stand. Finally, I stabilize the wobbly blade kerf from under the table with a wedge and another Quick-Grip clamp. The table supports work of all sizes, making it easy to get accurate cuts.

Shop Fox W1826

The thick, felted bag on this Shop Fox is a plus and a minus. On one hand, it makes the unit much less expensive than collectors with canister filters, and also lighter and easier to hang on the wall. Without a separate plastic bag to catch chips, however, they stay in the felt bag, and the shortish zipper on the bottom makes it tough to shake them out. Otherwise, the W1826 is an excellent value.

Ridgid R4331 Planer

Priced nearly $300 less than the DeWalt 735X, the Ridgid R4331 is an excellent value. Its three-knife cutterhead left wonderfully clean surfaces on plainsawn white oak and white pine. It did not perform nearly as well on curly maple as the 735X.
