Easy Support for Crosscutting Long Panels
A long panel can be difficult to control while making a cut on the table saw. But adding some support to the “loose” end can make a big difference in getting good results.
The important thing to remember is that the end of the panel should be supported all the way through the cut. That usually means rigging up some sort of long support mechanism to the left of your table saw, like you see in the drawing. Something as simple as a piece of MDF or plywood clamped vertically to a sawhorse will do the job nicely.
With proper support, you’ll see the results in a panel that’s easier to control for a cleaner cut.
