CUTTING TOOLS (OPTIONAL)
Cutting tools such as push sticks (one included with the saw), push blocks, featherboard,
crosscut sleds, etc. are extremely useful in providing additional safety as well as added
accuracy to your cut.
While these types of tools may be purchased, they are often the first projects to be completed
when setting up shop. Plans for these tools are easily available with a little research through
libraries, trade magazines, lumber supply locations and the internet.
We recommend using these sources to obtain information and plans for these tools not only to
build them but to allow you to be exposed to a wider variety of options, uses, and additional
safety precautions that may be more specific to your saw usage.
Outfeed & Support Tables
One of the best accessories for improving the safety and ease of using a table saw is simply
placing a large table (outfeed table) behind the saw to catch the workpiece. Additionally, another
table to the left of the saw (support table) can also help support large workpieces so they can be
cut safely and accurately.
