An essential tool for a wide range of building projects, table saws make quick work of cutting wood of all shapes and sizes. And with the help of table saw accessories from Ace Hardware, you can enhance the efficiency and operational convenience of your saw to make every job a little easier.
Table Saw Accessories for DIY Projects
Thanks to its powerful performance and versatile functionality, your table saw may very well be at the heart of your workshop. Here are a few popular table saw parts and accessories that make great additions to help finish a variety of projects.
Table Saw Push Sticks and Push Blocks
Table saw push blocks are handy devices designed to keep your hands safely away from the saw blade and help to keep the wood moving in a straight line for accurate cuts. Pushers are available in a range of sizes to accommodate all sorts of projects and wood pieces. Table saw push sticks are narrower and have a notch in the end to give you extra grip for ripping boards.
Table Saw Guide Rails
Clean, accurate cuts are essential to any project, and a table saw guide rail or saw edge guide ensures precision while minimizing chips and splinters. The guide rail holds your wood in the proper position for crosscuts, rips and angled cuts, delivering high-quality results.
Table Saw Stands and Rollers
Big, bulky pieces of wood can be hard to manage. Ace offers a wide selection of table saw stands to give you a sturdy surface to work on. Choose a solid stand for extra durability or a folding table saw stand for easy storage. A rolling table saw stand makes it easier to feed the wood into the saw, supporting it as you go. Roller stands often fold up when not in use for compact, space-saving storage.
Table Saw Featherboards
Another accessory for accuracy and safety, a table saw featherboard maintains consistent pressure on your wood to keep it flush and flat as you cut. Not only does this enhance the quality of the cut, but it also reduces the risk of dangerous kickbacks.
Table Saw Routers
Expand your table saw's capabilities with a table saw router. These versatile attachments let you precisely shape board edges, making your table saw even more functional. Whether adding decorative touches or working on precision joints, a table saw router can give that finished quality that makes it stand out.
Are Table Saws Safe to Use?
The table saw tools and accessories above make your projects easier and can also enhance safety. However, there are a few other key safety tips to keep in mind when using a table or bench saw to protect you from accidental injury.
- Always use sharp, well-oiled saw blades to avoid snags and kickbacks, and be sure to choose the proper blade type for each job.
- Wear protective equipment like goggles, ear plugs and masks to keep your hands and ears safe and to avoid breathing in sawdust.
- Check your wood for foreign objects like nails and staples that could become projectiles if dislodged by the saw blade.
- Never use a table saw without a guard; this is a critical component that keeps your fingers safe.
- Be sure the power switch is set to the off position before plugging in or unplugging the saw.
