I was wondering if someone might know where I might find some ideas for building a mobile table saw cabinet.
There are a number of threads on the forum. Search for table saw cart, portable cart, etc.Yes,Thanks. I feel kinda dumb now.Why didn't I think about a simple image search.
I was thinking one like this with a fold down out feed table.
Thanks and yes it does give me some ideas. It also brings up a couple of questions. First, How do you accurately cut the miter slots in the outfeed extension? Second, What is the purpose for having the left side drop down wing?This is my version of a "cabinet" for my 113 series table saw. The dust collector gets 90% of the sawdust. On the left side is a place for the Incra miter gage and the panel where the extra blade is stored removes for sawdust cleanout. On the right is a place for the fence which works very well when adjusted according to the user manual. The 3" hole on the short outfeed table provides clearance for the motor capacitor when tilting the blade to 45 degrees. The mobile base is 4" wheels on the back and a Rockler mobile wheel in the front.This setup works well for me and I hope it gives you some ideas.
As you can see my shop is small so space is a premium, so the left side wing only comes up when needed. As for the miter slots they don't have to be that accurate because your miter gage stays in the cast iron slot throughout the cut. Mine are actually a little larger for better clearance.Thanks and yes it does give me some ideas. It also brings up a couple of questions.

I use double-sided tape to attach two pieces of one inch mdf to the surface being cut.Ray Bayless said:... How do you accurately cut the miter slots in the outfeed extension?
I'll take a look. Appreciate the info.There are several videos on Youtube posted by people who have built versions of what you're looking for. Some are complicated and some are very simple. Youtube is an excellent source of how to videos on woodworking and woodworking equipment.
