Outfeed table support

Rather than use legs for my outfeed table, I decided to use my workbench. It weighs over 400 pounds without anything on or in it, making it a great anchor. I made the workbench and tablesaw tops the same level, and spaced them apart so that when the outfeed table swings up, it just misses the workbench.

I already have hinges to attach the outfeed table to the tablesaw. Now I attach two more to the other side. A straight "hinge board" is attached to the other side of the hinges. Note that I used the screws that came with the hinges. They were a bit too long and poked through the board, so I just ground them down with a cutoff wheel. You can see the burn marks in the wood just below the hinges.
The hinges allow me to fold the board back.
This view is looking up from underneath the table. The hardware hole for what once was a door can be seen at the top of the picture.

Note that I've drilled a hole through the hinge board, and into the workbench. A threaded insert is screwed into the workbench. The knob holds everything together nice and sturdy.

With the hinge board folded down, a support board is screwed into the back of the workbench. When the hinge board is folded down, it rests on the support board. The support board is connected to the outfeed table, the outfeed table is connected to the table saw, the table saw is connected to the shin bone...

 

 

With the hinge board folded up, it just clears the workbench and support board I screwed into the back of the bench. When flipped down, the hinge board rests on the support board. I made the height of the outfeed table a poofteenth higher than the workbench. If I'm cutting some extra large sheet goods, the workbench becomes part of the outfeed table.
To the left you can see the outfeed table in the up position. In this picture you can see the table folded down for access between the workbench and tablesaw. Note that I have a 2nd outfeed table that mostly stays down.
Here's why I needed to split my outfeed table into two parts. Note the miter saw station at the top of the picture. I need somewhere to stand when cutting long boards down to size!

If I have an extremely large  sheet of plywood to cut, I can flip the other outfeed table up.
