Not only does this downdraft table step up my dust collection game, it also serves as a long overdue outfeed table for the table saw, and provides some organizational storage for all of my sanding accoutrement. Hope you enjoy!

Let’s get into it. I started by cutting 4x4’s down to 34 1/4” or ¾” shorter than the final table height which itself was just slightly shorter than the table saw height, as this downdraft table would also moonlight as an outfeed bench top. With 4 of those cut, I then cut the cross bracing out of 2x4’s Aligning the 2x4’s on the flat garage floor, I created 2 identical frames to connect all 4 legs. I stacked one frame on top of the other to establish a close to level height by which to anchor the legs in place. Then, used multiple wood screws to tie the legs to the top frame in the stack The un anchored bottom frame became the framework for the table top. I marked ¾” from the top on the interior sides of each corner to give me a mark to aim for when establishing the placement of the table top in relation to the legs. Using the marks, I clamped the top frame into place before anchoring it to the four legs. Note that the top of the legs sit just below the top of the table top frame - this is so the downdraft surface and the framework will be flush. Before turning to to that downdraft surface, I needed to create a cabinet base for the lower frame I trimmed som MDF to size Then, for the cabinet I rough cut three panels from ¾” ply before refining the dimensions on the table saw. One back panel, and two side panels. I anchored the two side panels to the bench frame Then, drilled some pocket holes in the back panel before securing it in place. With the cabinet ready, I used a small sheet of MDF to create the downdraft chamber, cutting a 10 degree bevel on front and back edges to create a slope when screwed into the side panels of the cabinet I again used pocket holes to place it. To create the downdraft surface, I measured and marked perpendicular lines 2”s apart. Then used a 1” forstner bit to create a recess at each intersection To encapsulate the downdraft chamber, and anchor the vacuum source, I cut a front panel piece and marked the interior edge of a dust collection port. Using a forstner, I cleared the circle. Then secured the panel, before anchoring the port in place. With the chamber ready, I got to work on the pull out trays that would organize all the sanding goodies I’d use at the table. I used a level to mark the placement for the drawer slide hardware within the cabinet. Then used some screws to hold the hardware up, as I screwed it into place. I anchored the mirroring hardware to either side of the simple drawer tray. With it in place, I whipped up a quick drawer front. And replicated the same process for a bottom tray. For the left side of this workbench, I’ve got big plans - subscribe and ring the bell to catch the interchangeable router table station I’ll add over here next episode. For now, let’s just add a coat of paint to match my other work benches, because why not have some fun with it? I used a clear gloss to help seal and protect the downdraft surface As with everything in my shop, I used levering wheels to make this workbench mobile. Time to get organized. It may not seem like much, but compared to being scattered across the floor anytime I was finishing a piece, this small step of organizing my grit discs and finishing materials is HUGE.
