Table Saw Stands

If you have a small shop like I do having your table saw on a movable stand is a must. I made my stand out of a base to an outside grill. Sounds strange but a tree feel on it and the base survived so I made a wooden top and now I have a Free table saw base. I even rivited sheet metal over the tank holes so I have 2 storage shelves. So if your grill or a friends rusts out or is being thrown away this works out quite well. The only issue is one set of wheels is normally straight so you can’t just roll it straight back to the wall. Also if it has a side burner with a recessed door you can cut it out and build a storage box under it.

Pop-in Splitter

Your saw has a splitter made into the guard on your saw.  Unfortunatly you some times  need to run your saw without the guard.  The splitter is on the back side of the blade to keep wood from binding on the blade.  Some splitters come with an anti-kickback pall.  Some dust collection systems replace the original guard and have no splitter.

Vacuum Switch

The I-socket vacuum controler is a device that plugs into the wall, by plugging a tool in the designated plug and your vacuum system in the other plug you vacuum will go off and on with your power tool.  This is a great device to save life on vacuum motor and time turning two devices off and on.

Push Sticks

A Push stick is used to push cuts past the saw blade and should always be used on small rips to save your fingers.  A push stick should have a sholder to hold the stock a flat plane to hold stock down and a handle long enough to be clear of blade at full height.  some have a blade height gauge on them which is handy.
