If you are looking for a table saw for use as a hobby tool my recommendation would be to purchase a table saw and make an extension table. Table saws are common these days at low cost and usually have all the adjustments and features that you would need to build into a table saw if you were to make it yourself. More importantly they come with all the safeguards built in for your protection.

The table saw may be considered the most productive tool in your wood work workshop. Often the biggest issue with the table saw is that the table is often small and thus requires an extension for it to work effectively in accordance with the requirements of the user. Building an extension table will take just a short time depending on the scale of the extension required.

Depending on the type and functions of the table saw that you have purchased or are going to buy it most likely will alter the needs you have for a table saw table plan.

If however you want to construct your own table saw from table saw table plans you absolutely must build in many safeguards as an unprotected saw blade can easily cause life threatening injuries in the flash of a second.

A table saw table plan should provide for the table opening to be extensive enough to take the size of the mandrel so that the saw will raise high enough to present the full cutting capability of the blade. A table saw should have a smooth, heavy work surface, a handle for elevating and lowering the saw blade, a separate handle for blade angle adjustment and a connection for sawdust collection.

Good table saw table plans will include safety precautions such as a blade guard which is mandatory to protect the individual operating the saw. The plans should also have provision for a big easily acccessible power on and off switch.

Any good table saw table plan should include a rip fence parallel to the saw cut line with fine tuning controls for use when the fence requires adjustment. A table saw should have a miter gauge for making angled cross cuts. A good table saw uses a T-groove in the saw's table to stop the miter gauge from coming out of the groove when in use. The miter gauge should move easily without feeling loose and be clearly marked for setting the right cutting angle.

Power cables connected to the table saw have to be well secured to avoid the chance of electrical shock to the operator. The loose cables coming from the wall socket connecting to the table saw should be well insulated. An emergency power cut off switch ought to be there in case of an emergency from power problems or human errors.

The table saw motor ought to be quiet with low vibration although it's recommended you wear ear protectors when using a power saw.

When considering how big to make the table saw table bear in mind if you may have to move the table saw through any doorways. A wide table saw will probably be very tough to move through doorways.

Holding the workpiece clamp is yet another special feature needed for holding the workpiece for cutting. It improves cutting accuracy and helps prevent your hands from touching the blade.

Your table saw must have a spindle lock for keeping the motor shaft from turning when switching the blades.

All woodworking tools can very easily harm you if they are not used safely and none more so than a power driven table saw. So consider safety requirements before making a table saw from table saw table plans.
