A crosscut sled (see Figure 91) is a fantastic way
to improve the safety and accuracy of crosscut-
ting 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.

One of the best accessories for improving the
safety and ease of using a table saw is simply plac-
ing a large table (outfeed table) behind the saw to
catch the workpiece (see Figure 90). 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.
