Any drawings or plans for the rear table extension?

[@TheThoughtfulWoodworker]

Hi Joe, I didn't draw up plans for the outfeed table because I built mine to fit between two tablesaws back-to-back. I can give you the basic idea though. It's made from full 1" thick MDF, laminated with Wilsonart laminate in a black matte finish. I flipped the rear rail of the tablesaw upside down to act as a ledge to support the outfeed table. Then I added hardware to help level the outfeed table perfectly with the cast iron top of the Fusion F2. Leg levelers adjust the table to the right height. Finally, bolts pass through the rear rail, into threaded inserts in the MDF to lock it down. You could do the same thing on a freestanding Fusion saw, but you'd need to add legs to the far outfeed side. Put leg levelers on the legs to accommodate uneven floors.
Best of luck!

I have a question 🙋🏼‍♂️: I bought F2 recently and I have thin blade. I always try to be 100% safe.
Can I use my thin blade with laguna Riving Knife/Spreader Thickness ?
Thank you
