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 (see Figure 81). 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.

Crosscut Sled

A crosscut sled (see Figure 82) is a fantastic way to improve the safety and accuracy of crosscutting on the table saw. Most expert table saw operators use a crosscut sled when they have to crosscut a large volume of work, because the sled offers substantial protection against kickback when crosscutting.
