Abstract
A table saw attachment system for attaching a table saw to an accessory table provides a table saw attachment bracket comprising an L-brace including a main horizontal plate and a main vertical plate extending upwards from a back edge of the main horizontal plate and in perpendicular alignment thereto, and accessory table connection elements coupled to the L-brace and configured to non-permanently attach the accessory table to the L-brace. The main horizontal plate of the L-brace is configured to provide a platform which extends between and below a tabletop of the table saw and a tabletop of the accessory table, for capturing any material which falls off from the back side of the table saw.

A table saw attachment method comprising:
- attaching an accessory table to a portable table saw via a table saw attachment bracket, the table saw including a motorized rotatable circular saw blade,
- wherein the table saw attachment bracket is configured to attach to the portable table saw adjacent a back side of the portable table saw,
- wherein the table saw attachment bracket comprises:
- an L-brace including a main horizontal plate and a main vertical plate extending upwards from a back edge of the main horizontal plate and in perpendicular alignment thereto,
- accessory table connection elements coupled to the L-brace and configured to attach the accessory table to the L-brace, and
- table saw attachment components coupled to an underside of the main horizontal plate in the L-brace,
- wherein the main horizontal plate of the L-brace is configured to provide a platform which extends between and below a tabletop of the table saw and a tabletop of the accessory table, for capturing material which falls off from the back side of the table saw,
- wherein the table saw attachment components are configured to attach to vertical columns in the table saw which extend below the tabletop of the table saw,
- wherein the accessory table connection elements include a first set of interlocking members provided along a back surface of the main vertical plate, the first set of interlocking members configured to mate to a second set of interlocking members provided on a front side surface of the accessory table for a non-permanent attachment between the accessory table and the L-brace, and,
- wherein the table saw attachment components include bottom connection plates which are in perpendicular alignment to the main horizontal plate, the bottom connection plates including:
- a first pair of vertical plates positioned proximate a first end of the L-brace and defining a first slot frontwards and below the main horizontal plate, the first slot configured to capture a first side vertical column of the table saw vertical columns;
- and
- a second pair of vertical plates positioned proximate a second end of the L-brace and defining a second slot frontwards and below the main horizontal plate, the second slot configured to capture a second side vertical column of the table saw vertical columns.
