Tablesaw Accessories

To keep hands away from the tablesaw blade while cutting dowel jigs, make a dowel-cutting sled to allow you make multiple cuts of identical lengths safely and accurately.

This shop-made fence-riding pusher adds downward pressure on the workpiece and keeps your hand well clear of the blade.

Want to make your tablesaw accomplish even more? Fit it with a jig or two for increased cutting and joinery capabilities. Many of jigs take less than an hour or two to build and can be used for a lifetime.

Having a roller stand in the shop is almost like having another person around to help you work with long and cumbersome material, but roller stands also have a frustrating flaw: If the material is warped or droopy, you'll probably knock over the stand before you get help from it. The tilting plywood platform, shown at right, virtually eliminates this problem.

Raise your cutting accuracy to new levels.

The jig raises the pressure point on the panel, holding it tightly against the fence, and protects my fingers from the blade. I used biscuits to join the runners to the jig, but you also could dado the jig and glue the runners into place. (Note that the runners should be taller than the blade height.)

A slight tilt of a saw blade gives your corner splines a whole new look.

With a little work at the tablesaw, you can resaw wide boards without a riser-block equipped bandsaw.

Are you ready for on-the-money miters? Here's the solution.
