Built this clip-on infeed support, and found it to be very handy when using sleds, , to stop the sled falling off the front of table saw.
It provides most of the benefits of an infeed table, and still allows me to move my body right up to the front of saw.

Very Cool!

Now work on your dust collection. ;~)

I fully agree on the need for dust collection. I have settled on the DustRight 1250, but Rockler will not ship to Canada, so I have to wait until Covid has settled down and I can drive across the border to Buffalo to pick one up. ;-)

That's not a lot of dust collection if you have any large, or many,
tools. I don't see any spec on the particle size either.

I would very strongly advise to get the one with the canister filter.

I do quite a bit of building and I finally got the Jet 1100 CFM version
almost 15 years ago.

You really don't want to have to be emptying a bag. A throw away
plastic bag is soooo much easier and less messy. And you can use
inexpensive black contractor bags. No need for clear bags. No, you
cannot see through black bags but once the clear bags develop static
electricity it is also hard to see how full it is. I just feel the bag
to determine how full it is.


That canister is still doing just fine.

I use a hybrid version of your bag theory. The clear bags are of heavier material and significantly more expensive/harder to find.
Much like an innertube and bicycle tire, I use a disposable trash bag liner inside the clear bag. When full, remove and toss the trash bag and re-use the clear outer bag.
Agree it is harder to see when the bag is full, but far from impossible to determine...

For those that don't want to make their own, Izzy Swan sells one for $70. (No affiliation, just tossing it out there.)

This video shows his original version, with a wooden clamping mechanism, since upgraded to use a clamp like yours.

Izzy Swan makes some pretty cool stuff.

Grab your router and add a miter gauge slot.

Was thinking the same thing...or just keep the edge of the support board to either side of the miter slot...

You do not need a miter bar slot. Place on the outside of the miter
slots or between.

It isn't a "need", it's more of a "might as well".

For the simple step of routing the slot, you get solid support for
both sides of a miter gauge. You can set it on there and walk away.

Izzy Swan likes having one, and he uses a SawStop, so he's pretty smart. ;-)

I will have to disagree. Little support is actually needed unless you
are cutting very wide, and in that case you don't need a sled.

I'm a bit confused by that response. I mentioned full support of the *miter gauge* as
shown in the Izzy Swan image that I linked to. You mentioned the lack of need of a
sled. I'm not seeing the connection between my comment and yours.

There have been times when I've wanted to cut a board, with my miter gauge, that was
wider than the distance between the front of my TS and the front of the blade. The
slotted infeed table that I linked to would mitigate that situation quite nicely.

As I said earlier, it's not a need, but I see no reason not to add the slot. It only makes the
infeed table more versatile. I certainly don't see any downside.
