It has detents at every degree that insure its accuracy. It also has extensions that assist when you are cutting longer stock. The downside is the higher price tag, but everyone who owns an Incra jig will attest to it being one of the best investments they have made. You can also set the angle of cut as with the miter gauge, but the entire table moves forward with your material to insure a precise cut. Next we will go to the tenoning jig.
Safety equipment is essential for use with a tablesaw .
Lets start with assistance in pushing the material through the blade, if not using a miter gauge as described earlier. Depending upon the size of the material, you can use a featherboard that fits into the miter gauge and keeps the material flush against the fence as you are pushing it through the blade, or you can go to a push stick or a push block . The push blocks are preferable and come in different sizes, again depending upon the size of material you are working with. The bottom line here is that your fingers are priceless, and as careful as you are, accidents do happen. We should all do what we can to avoid a bad situation.
