Support

Outfeed

ease of using a table saw is simply placing a large table

Table

(outfeed table) behind the saw to catch the workpiece

of the saw (support table) can also help support large

workpieces so they can be cut safely and accurately.

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.
