## Summary

Mike Pekovich, Anisa Capsalis, and Jeff Jewitt discuss essential accessories for new table saw owners, recommending specific tools like the SawStop outfeed table, Infinity zero-clearance inserts, and Inkra miter gauges while advising against buying pre-made cross-cut sleds. They also share their 'all-time favorite tools' of the week: Jeff’s modified artist palette knife for detail sanding, Anisa’s vintage cork-backed ruler, and Mike’s cast iron Delta tenoning jig for consistent joinery. The episode concludes with advice on furniture sizing for tall people and testing edge sharpness.
