The photograph is misleading because it looks like a flimsy, toothpicky kind of support. Actually it is a very well made, heavy support worthy of the DeWalt table saw for which it was designed. I use it for supporting long boards and relatively heavy sheets of three-quarter inch plywood. I've owned my DW744XRS table saw for a couple of years, and all this time I've used "horses" for my outfeed and side supports. Talk about an "I-coulda-had-a-V-8" moment, when I first discovered the ease and efficiency of this invaluable accessory I was awestruck. If you own a DW744, these supports should be your next purchase.
