Is there supposed to be a length of angle iron or something to support the extension table?

The Uni fence does not require a rear support. Therefore you can bolt anything you would like to the rear of the tables to support your outfeed. I used a 1x1 light angle iron on mine. Just remember to keep it level or slightly below the TS. You might have to rout slots for your miter gauge.

You don't need any back support if the side extensions are bolted to the side of the cast iron table top and set on legs at the outside back and front corners and for outfeed tables they don't have to attach at all. Mine is free standing and works perfectly and also allows me to move it all easily if I want to.

Re: Used Unisaw
Sorry, I may have been unclear in the reason for my question.
Context: the front rail for my Unifence came with a length of angle iron which is designed to support the front edge of the side extension table. The angle iron is part of the fence kit.
It seems to me the the back edge of the extension table needs similar support or it will sag.
I cannot find a single photo of the rear of a Unisaw with a Unifence and extension table.

Re: Used Unisaw
David, you might consider cutting your rail in half and using the off cut on the back.
I have done this with a 120” rail and it makes a good attachment point for an outfeed and/or extension table. Sounds like 41-1/2” rails might be right for your application.DavidR8 likes this.
