Extension Table
An extension table should be mounted between the fence extension rails to provide workpiece support. The extension table width should be sized to fit in the gap between the rails. The length of the table extension can be set so the table replaces the existing right wing of the saw (if your saw is so equipped) or can be used in conjunction with the existing wing.
Constructing the extension table
1.Construct the extension table as shown in Figure 6 using a frame with a separate top or a solid table can be made from countertop materials with a 3⁄4" to 1" thick particle board surfaced with a Melamine® or Formica® type of material.

2.When installing the extension table, be sure it is flush with the table saw top by placing a long straightedge across both tables and adjusting the extension until it is even along the length of the straightedge. Figure 7 shows a typical installation.
