As all woodworkers and builders know, having a completely flat work surface is critical in any shop. We were certainly impressed when Mirza Woodworks in Wildwood, MO shared this recent project.
 |
| New torsion table project, ready for use! |
This is a torsion box top Assembly/Out feed table, primarily used to ensure that the work surface is dead flat. The
top is 48 x 72 inches, it has a T-Track for holding down material and a
router table to maximize use without adding the footprint of a stand
alone router table.
 |
| T- Track installed for material hold down. Installed using SPAX® #6 3/4 Flat head screws. |
|
 |
| Router plate installed in the top. |
The side also utilizes a T-Track to hold material
vertically. The bottom cabinet consists of a total of eight drawers and
six shelves that are mounted on (20 inch) full extension drawer slides. It also has two cabinets for an air compressor and tool boxes.
 |
| Black American Walnut hardwood used on the sides for added durability attached with wood glue and SPAX® #6 1-1/2 trim head screw. |

The
whole assembly table is made with plywood and is held together with 1-3/4 inch
SPAX® Multi-Material Construction screws. The top is protected with walnut trim which is attached with 1-1/2 hardwood trim head screws. The
top is is also held together with the same screws and mounted flush to
ensure material will not catch and leaves a nice small screw head for a
cleaner look.

This was built to be used to assemble projects and used as an
out feed support for the table saw to make safe cuts.
