A table saw accessory configured to attach to a table saw having a tabletop and a distal end, the table saw accessory comprising:
- an outfeed support having at least one surface for supporting material fed through the table saw beyond the distal end of the table saw;
- a telescopic section having a proximal end and a distal end, and configured, when the table saw accessory is attached to the table saw, to extend outward from the distal end of the table saw between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the outfeed support is coupled to the telescopic section at the distal end of the telescopic section and configured to automatically rotate about an axis parallel to the tabletop of the table saw as the telescopic section extends outward between the retracted position and the extended position, and wherein the telescopic section comprises at least one spatial scissor mechanism;
- and
- a connection system for attaching the table saw accessory to the table saw, wherein the connection system is coupled to the proximal end of the telescopic section, and wherein the at least one surface for supporting material fed through the table saw of the outfeed support comprises at least one upwardly curved section, the table saw accessory configured so that, when the table saw accessory is attached to the distal end of the table saw and when the telescopic section is in the retracted position, the at least one curved section extends vertically upward and crosses a plane of the tabletop of the table saw.
