I had stayed away from a table saw for a long time! But finally, it was time to step up my woodworking game!

Before I could buy and use a table saw, I tried to read everything I could about using it and about table saw safety.

The most important thing was to not use it on a floor – to have a proper stand for the table saw.

I mostly cut and make sawdust in the driveway, so I needed something mobile. Plus, we are short on space in the garage (who isn’t?), so I wanted as small a footprint as I could have.

Enter my DIY table saw stand with a folding outfeed table.

Portable DIY Table Saw Stand With Outfeed Table

I designed this table saw stand with my workbench in mind so I could use it as my outfeed table.

This is what it looked like for about 6 months.

But with time, I realized I needed a simpler solution so I didn’t have to pull out both the benches.

I decided to add a folding outfeed table to the table saw stand.

The design evolved over time as I got more comfortable with my table saw and understood the features and needs better.

But now I am SO happy with how it turned out. It is compact and easy to pull out and set up!

How to Build a Portable Table Saw Stand

Step 1- Make the Cuts and Prep

• Follow the printable plans and make all your cuts.
• Review the plans and make pocket holes needed.

Step 2 – Build the Frame of the Table Saw Stand

• Build the frame of the table saw stand by attaching the 2x4s using 2-1/2″ pocket hole screws and wood glue.
• I came back and added a shelf to this but I recommend adding the shelf at this step. The printable plans show you exactly how to do that.

Tip – It is important to make sure everything is square and level so the table saw sits on an even surface.

Step 3 – Add Shelves

• Cut the plywood to size and screw it in using 1-1/4″ wood screws. I recommend using a straight edge jig or a Kreg Rip cut for this.

Step 4 – Attach Casters

• This is a good time to attach casters because it is easy to turn the stand sideways as needed.
• I decided to add dropdown casters so the stand sits sturdy on the floor when I am using the table saw.

Step 5 – Attach Folding Outfeed Table

• Attach a 2×4 brace to the table saw stand using 2-1/2″ wood screws.

Important – It is essential that the outfeed table be at the same level as the table saw surface.

Before attaching the brace, use a scrap piece of plywood and a level to make sure that the plywood surface level with the table saw. See video for how I did this.

• Place the plywood for the outfeed table on top of the brace and attach heavy-duty hinges from underneath.

I like to support my plywood using a rolling stand.

Step 6 – Attach Folding Legs

• Attach folding leg brackets to the outfeed table underneath. I made sure that they were as close to the edge as possible.
• Attach the 2×2 legs to the folding leg brackets

Step 7 – Attach Furniture Levelers

• At the bottom of the legs, attach furniture levelers. This will help account for the uneven floors in the garage or driveway.

That is it!

I love having this easily portable table saw stand.

Now there is one thing though, I need to remove the furniture levelers when I fold the legs due to the size of the legs. Otherwise, they do not fold in completely.

But it is a small step to remove and attach the levelers as needed. It doesn’t beat the convenience of having the portable and compact table saw stand.

The shelf underneath stores all my table saw accessories and safety equipment – the list of which is growing really fast.

At some point, I want to install a drawer underneath so it doesn’t get covered in sawdust all the time.
