I'm getting ready to set up a "real" woodshop in the garage, and have
a fairly steep sloping floor to contend with. I measured about a 5"
drop over 25'. In fact if I release the parking brake, my car will
roll out into the street by itself.


My question is, how does one deal effectively with this with setting
up outfeed tables, workbenches and counters?


[Missed the OP, sorry.]

Don't think about it unless you intend to play marbles. That's a
slope of only 0.069. I've worked on much more slope than that, and
didn't even notice it. I know an old man who works in a basement of
and old house that slopes every which way [the basement floor, not the
house]. He turns out beautiful work, including perfect old-fashioned
maple spinning wheels.
