Festool 488060 VB Extension Table for CS 70

Festool 488060 VB Extension Table for CS 70

The Festool 488060 VB Extension Table is a precision‑engineered accessory designed exclusively for the CS 70 table saw. It expands the working surface, allowing users to tackle larger workpieces and achieve greater accuracy without compromising the stability or safety that Festool is renowned for.

Key Features

• Seamless Integration: The extension attaches directly to the CS 70’s existing table, maintaining a flush surface that eliminates gaps and ensures consistent blade contact.
• Robust Construction: Made from high‑strength aluminum alloy, the extension offers durability while keeping weight manageable for easy repositioning.
• Precision Alignment: Built‑in alignment guides keep the extension perfectly level with the original table, preserving the CS 70’s renowned cutting accuracy.
• Compact Design: With a width of 411 mm, it extends the table without significantly increasing overall footprint, making it ideal for tight workshop spaces.
• Easy Installation: The extension uses the same mounting hardware as the CS 70, allowing users to attach or detach it in minutes without special tools.

Benefits for Woodworkers

By extending the table surface, the Festool 488060 VB Extension Table enables:

• Larger Workpieces: Cut boards up to 411 mm wider than the standard CS 70 table allows.
• Improved Safety: A larger, stable surface reduces the risk of workpiece movement during cuts.
• Enhanced Versatility: Perform a broader range of joinery tasks—such as dovetailing or mortise‑tenon—without needing additional equipment.
• Consistent Results: The extension’s flat, level surface ensures that every cut is repeatable and true to the design.

Compatibility and Usage

The extension is specifically engineered for the CS 70 table saw model. It fits both the standard CS 70 and its VB (Vibratory Blade) variant, providing a uniform experience across all installations. Users can employ the extension with any of Festool’s blade systems—whether standard or specialized—to achieve optimal performance.

Installation Guide

1. Position the CS 70 on a stable surface and ensure the table is level.
2. Align the extension with the existing mounting points on the CS 70.
3. Screw the extension into place using the supplied bolts, tightening evenly to avoid warping.
4. Verify that the extended surface remains flush with the original table by running a straightedge across both sections.
5. Re‑check all fasteners after the first use to maintain safety and precision.

Maintenance Tips

• Keep the extension surface clean from sawdust and debris to preserve blade contact.
• Inspect mounting bolts periodically for tightness, especially after heavy-duty projects.
• Avoid applying excessive force or bending the extension; it is designed for horizontal use only.
