[edit] Zero Clearance Insert Plate

Most table saw inserts have wide throat openings around the saw blade. This makes it all too easy for narrow cut offs to fall in the opening and possibly bind against the blade. In addition, there's often chip out along the bottom face where the work piece isn't supported.

While testing premium dado sets, we discovered that some sets will make clean, chip-free, cross-grain cuts in veneered materials only if you use them with a zero-clearance insert in your table saw. Courtesy of Wood Magazine.

[edit] Ultimate Tool Stand - Multi Use Workbench

[edit] Air Filter, Downdraft Sanding Table

The fact that the blower is hidden deep inside the table makes it very quiet. I can leave it running all the time and it does not bother me at all. The slopes provide a very good suction even in the corners of the table. I tried sanding a board in the 4 corners and the sawdust was sucked down right away. So it does its job as a downdraft table. It also does a very good job as an air filter. The fact that it picks up the dust from the top and expel the air along the floor, creates a circular flow in the workshop and clears the air quickly. In fact, after a couple days of using it as an air filter, the filters were already full of dust.

[edit] Bench, Free-Standing Relief Carver's

Relief carvers do not often have the luxury of carving in the living room in front of the TV. Chip carvers can, as long as they work things out with their significant others first. Caricature carvers can, and so can whittlers, since they carve while seated. But relief carvers for the most part need a solid workbench on which to work, and on which to place their many tools if they are to do their thing.
