this innovation will solve the problem of the space
required,friction,and ride out which can happen with the roller and or
ball bearing type support,and the large operational area required when
the out feed tables are used in the out feed position
  first make a support frame from 3/4 plywood with 2ft.6in. long feet
and braces from the feet to support the verticle plywood ,which will be
at the height of the tablesaw less about 1/2in. and 42in.long,in the
middle of this verticle pannel remove a large rectangle cut out,this
will lighten the( outrigger)
   cut a 5in.plastic pipe at 42in.,split this on the table with one kerf
cut and clip the pipe over the verticle plywood pannel and presto you
have a portable and moveable outfeed and left side extension table,which
will ride up and support material in the outfeed position,when used at
the left of the saw it will support large sheet material for
crosscutting,in the outfeed position there is very little friction and
no ride out as there is with the roller or ball bearing type roller
support,it eliminates the large outfeed tables and in the cross cut
position at the left of the saw there is only one line of friction and
that is along the single line on top of the 5in.pipe.this outrigger will
allow you much more control when cutting 4*8 or over sized sheet
material
