make it wide enough to stabilize the largest panels you expect to cut at
the TS. and then add plenty of "fudge factor" for future use. or just
make it as large as space allows! You can't go wrong, as it'll double
as an assembly table.

I am planning to add an outfeed table to my table saw. I am wondering
how wide I should make the outfeed table.

My table saw has three sides: The center that is where the saw blade
and the two tracks are, the left wing, and the right wing. I can
understand the benefit of having outfeed table to cover the center
area, and the left wing. But I don't understand why I may need to
extend the outfeed table to cover the right wing of my table saw. Is
that mainly good for left handed people?

I guess I can use the large outfeed table to double as an assembling
table. But I don't have a pressing need for such a large assembling
table.

I may need to run a flex hose over that area. That is the reason why I
don't want to extend the outfeed table to cover that area. But I want
to know what I may miss in order to know the trade-off.

Thanks.
