PBB with extensions

This is basically a PBB with 3 extensions added. I think this is where we are going - a nice basic table that can be added to at will. When not needed the extensions can be stored - on this table I have a shelf in the bottom. When fully extended, It is about 7 1/2' long. The extensions can be for anything. I want to add one for raised panel doors. Also I plan to incorporate a hybrid version of a smart table into this table. When finished, you'll be able to park the table in the corner of the garage. pull it out when you need it, add the appropriate modules and make woodworking EZ.

This setup includes a different style bridge. I'll do a post in the next few days to describe it better.

Here is a link to the photos. There is a description below each photo.

Unbelievable Burt. I can't wait to see the sliding bridge post.

I'm just wondering on how it hold squareness - both bridges. Do you have to re-square every time you assemble it or does it stay square?


(I better start recycling all our aluminum cans - looks like Dino's going to need them for these new bench extrusions.)

The bridge shown with the miter gauge is self contained and remains square whether the extension is on or off the table. It could actually be used as a small portable unit.

The cut-off that works with the main rail needs to be checked each time but adjustment would be very fast and EZ.

Burt,

You never cease to amaze me! So many ideas and so little time...

What a fantastic post! You really put some thought and ingenuity into that.

I like your use of the miter gauge. I own the same one. I think I will "copy" your idea. What is the width of this PBB?. I just ordered my first EZ and all I got was a 32" guide and 24" SME. Primarily going to use it to replace my crosscut sled on my TS for making cabinets, bookshelves, dados, etc.

Scott this is the standard 25 1/2" or so width. Here is a link to a cut-off PBB that we have been using for several months and really like.
