My table saw has a cast iron portion in the middle the size of the base, then heavy gauge sheet metal wings next to each side, and, on the right side a plywood drop in to extend the overall cut widt to allow for a 30" cut to the right of the blade and 16" to the left. The saw height is the same as everything in the shop, ie, production table, Roubo bench, window counter top bench, and, motorized miter saw bench with all the power tools under it.
