However, accessories are still available. You can see many accessories for the Kobalt tablesaws on Lowes’ website.
Take a look at these accessories:

Best Table Saw Accessories
After reviewing these brands, I can say that the best table saw accessories depend on what you are looking for.
Four of the five brands received very positive reviews. You can’t go wrong with the brand. Delta has some less favorable reviews but they are still positive and worth checking out if you have the right product.
You can also see in my notes that one brand may have an accessory other than the others.
I don’t mean to make your job harder, but each brand reviewed will be able to do the job. It is worth taking a look at all brands based on your requirements.
Education
We’ve now reviewed all the brands. But you may still be wondering what accessories you actually need. There are many options, but I have narrowed down the top table saw accessories to my favorites.
Have a look at these:
- Set safety
- Mobile base
- Sawdust collector
- Inserts with zero-clearance
- Simple to adjust the Dado blade
- Top-notch blade
Safety Set
While most table saws have basic safety features, it is worth having the following: push blocks; safe V-stick; featherboard; and a push stick.
Mobile Base
Mobile bases make it easy to move your saw around the shop. It can be placed where you want it, and moved out of the way when it is not. Mobile bases with locking wheels are a great idea.
Saw Dust Collector
Clean up is much easier with a saw dust collector. You don’t have to sweep every time you go into a shop. Instead, simply empty the dust collector.
Zero-Clearance Inserts
A majority of table saws have a metal throatplate. For a more precise cut, a zero-clearance insert can be used. This prevents tear-out and closes the gap between where wood chunks can fall and fly back to you.
Simple To Adjust Dado Blade
Dado blades can be a great tool for cutting wood grooves. A standard dado knife can accomplish the same job but a dado blade that is easy to adjust makes fitting grooves much simpler.
Top-Notch Blade
Every table saw comes with its own blade. However, upgrading your blade can make a big difference in cleaning rips and ensuring that crosscuts are free from chips.
Information About Brands
Many of the brands that I reviewed are well-known, and have been around for a while. Stanley Black and Decker both own Craftsman and DeWalt. TTI/Electronic Industries also owns Ridgid.
Delta Power Equipment is its brand. Lowes also owns Kobalt, as I mentioned.
Look at the top-rated table saw accessories and decide which brand has what you are looking for.
