Downdraft Table Workbench

Downdraft table for dust collection.

Cut MDF to sit on top of table saw stand.

Cut wood boards and a small piece of MDF to fashion a box.

Screw together.

Drill holes in the top piece of MDF. Use peg board as a template.

Smooth out the underside of the drill holes with a countersink bit.

Attach a tube to connect to a shop vacuum.

Seal all the seams.

Fasten top piece of MDF to the box and seal.

Fit under the table saw.

The vacuum did not pull enough volume of air, so I modified the box to hook up to my dust collector.

I also ended up getting a different table saw, so I decided to use the downdraft table as part of my workbench. I added a small box to contain dust with a second dust collector vent on the side.

The space is now multipurpose and tools can be swapped out.
