LegUp 58008 Panel-Lift Table Saw Accessory

The product installed easy enough. It comes configured to install with the clamp vertically attached to the vertical skirt/flange of the saw table. However, every picture I have seen of the device have it mounted to the fence rail. It includes a part to adapt the LegUp to the fence rail installation. I attached it to the table. At first, it seemed like there was no way the clamp and pinch bolt would hold while wrestling an 80 pound 4x8 sheet of MDF onto the table, but it did. With that said, the LegUp is flimsy and does not instill confidence, but it works. I may remove it and install it to the fence rail.In use, it does help quite a bit. You still have to strain and twist your body somewhat, but at least the far end of the sheet is controlled and guided up onto the table. A rolling cart with a swivel top for loading and unloading is a far better solution, but of course takes up room and costs $$$$$.Would I buy the LegUp again? At this point, yes. But I reserve judgment to see how it works for the long haul.JackL

I bought this in anticipation of needing to break down a number of sheets of 3/4" plywood for a closet system. It attaches simply to the lip of my SawStop cabinet saw with no drilling or other prep. What a difference it makes! I'm not a big guy, and trying to manhandle a full sheet of plywood onto my table saw in the past was exhausting and a little dangerous. Now I can just about do it with one hand. Just lift the front corner into the lower hook of the gadget, then grab the other end and flip. Very easy, and once the plywood is on the table, you just slide it over to the fence and the LegUp swings back down and out of the way. One of the best investments in shop aids I've ever made.

I make custom cabinets for a living in a one-man shop, so I keep my eye out for ways to make my work faster, safer and easier. Based on the Leg Up website video it looked like it met all three criteria for handling sheet goods.What they don't show is how it works when there's a table extension to the left of the blade (demostration video shows using the tool on the left side) or how to use it to the right of the blade for ripping - you have to wrestle the material over to the fence (while the saw is running), line it up with the fence, then make the cut. The video also shows the Leg Up leg falling free of the material as it's rotated onto the table saw top, but this doesn't always happen with the table extension in place.Also, the tool is only helpful for cutting sheet goods in the long direction, not for cross cutting. And while the tool is well made, I expected it to be beefier. Currently it's best function is to hook my pants at the ankle as I walk around the left corner of my saw.In summary it's overpriced for what it does: it doesn't do that function well, and it doesn't do much else (except hook my pants).

Fantastic if you do a lot of heavy lifting by yourself. A must have.

This was a gift but well received.

The item was delivered on time and easy to install. I use it on my table saw and on my work horses. It makes it much easier to place the plywood on the saw and horses

Although the Leg-Up works great without a table extension, the hinge part is extremely light dutyand has bent on me numerous times. There is not much leeway when lifting a sheet of 3/4" birch plyonto the table while trying to keep it square.A much heavier duty hinge is needed and I think in the future I will weld my own heavy hingeto the existing components.

The only draw pack I have found is that I need more room to lift the sheet of plywood. other than tht it is an excellent addition to the table saw.
