I'm going to rip some Cherry today and since my typical outfeed helper is busy today, I looked for an alternative method to use, actually a very good alternative I found. 

Doug Reid's YouTube channel has a video on the subject using a 520 table system. 

Here's my interpolation of his setup.

 

 

 

 

If my usual outfeed helper teen son don't stop thinking about the girls and baseball, and his Army career, and get back in the shop with me where life is much more important, he may just lose his esteemed position as "outfeed table".

Pretty cool set-up John and looks very stable and secure.

I suspect though, your replacement outfeed table takes a lot less infeed that a teenage son?

Indeed! And lot lower maintenance too!

And when you're done, you just drop the front leg and let em down. 

 

Ripping some walnut today, I had to Google how to set up extension table on a Shopsmith, and the above topic came up in search results, I says to myself, hey self that looks pretty familiar! 😅

And Voilet! Is that how you spell vuawlla?

That would "viola" and you should contact that guy to let him know you were using his idea.😆
