Hi,
I am looking for a 28" x 36" or so outfeed melamine table blank. Any
idea where I could order one? I am going to use it as my table saw
outfeed table with my incra TS. I already have the hardware kit from
woodpecker, but they don't sell the table blanks.

I already check rockler and woodpecker.

Help would be appreciated.
Joe

Let me get this straight. You've obviously got a table saw (since you're
buildin an outfeed table for it). You need a melamine piece cut to 28"x36".
My first thought is to head down to Home Despot, buy a sheet of melamine,
and cut it to the right size. You'll probably spend less on the full sheet
than you would on some pre-cut blank that needs to get shipped to you.

Maybe I'm just not seeing what the problem is?

Buy the melamine from the Borg, then build a frame and legs to support
it at the right height. Cut to whatever size you want. If you need
grooves for miter bars to be able to move into that area, use a router
to route out the grooves

I don't have a problem. I was just giving you a suggestion about where you
could get your table top. Woodpecker and Rockler probably don't sell the
table tops because it's too expensive to ship a $5.00 piece of wood, and
they figure most people who need a table saw outfeed table would probably
rather make their own given the cost.

Perhaps you can contact a local cabinet maker to get them to cut a table top
for you? Then you can pay them extra $$$ so you don't have to take the
extra 15 minutes it takes to cut a piece of melamine down to size. Of
course, you'll have to go drive to pick it up. Oh, but you have more money
than time, so maybe you can just pay them to drop it off to your shop...

Ah, meaning our time is less veluable than yours, so we should do
your research for you?

Anyway, you would have spent less time by just buying a chunk, and
cutting it, then you would getting an answer here, ordering, then
waiting for it. So, obviously your time isn't so valuable after all.

However, if you still feel that your time is more valuable
elsewhere, you should be willing to shell out compensation to those with
"less valuable" time, for doing your work for you. In plainer words,
what's in it for us? And, yeah, I have a solution, but I figure my
"thinking time" is more valuable elsewhere.

I'll confess I had the same thought. Not sure why you'd think ordering one
is less time consuming that asking your local BORG to cut one down to size
for you... Unless, there's no BORG nearby or you're looking for one with
the mitre slots already cut in, with the mounting hardware already drilled,
etc.

What about asking a cabinet shop to order you a counter top just that size?
Wouldn't that be the same thing?

I wouldn't have told him. He should have been capable of figuring
that out on his own - unless his time is too valuable to think?

Hi Joe

It's sacrilegious to ask where you can buy
a certain piece of something (stop smirking)
in a woodworking group.

We pride ourselves in making big pieces of
something of an approximate but
unknown size into smaller pieces of a
somewhat known size.

That's woodworking!

Actually, I know what the OP's problem is. According to the rules of the
wreck, for every new project, there must be a tool purchase. And for
creating a table-top out of melamine, if the OP already has a table saw,
there's really no tool that's can be justified. So how can he undertake the
project? Perhaps the justification of a WWII blade or something would
appease the WW gods? Or a edge-bander to finish the edges? Surely there
must be some tool required for this task? JOAT, I leave this in your
capable hands to determine what the appropriate sacrifice/purchase would be.

Your time is to valuable to cut a piece of wood on the saw so you can cut a
piece of wood on the saw. OK I understand.

I have a piece of it in my garage. I can cut it to size and ship it via
UPS. Is white OK? $90 plus actual shipping costs.

That's just dripping with condescension.

But, being the guy I am, do you mind, sir, waiting till I gather all the
pertinent data from my resources? Would you be so kind and give me a
rough idea of your geographical location so I can serve you better?
After all, MY time is worth ****-all.

*Gasp*...I have said too much!

I do no think Incra makes table saws.
