Table saw
Table saw must have a guide bar that is no more than 15 cm (6") from the
blade. If it is more than that, you will need to make the bases wider.

Your table saw needs to be able to cut at least 40 mm deep for 19 mm

(3/4") boards, and 59 mm deep for 38 mm (1 1/2") thick boards.

Left tilt or right tilt saws may be used.

Regular saw blades (with alternating set) or blades with a straight set can be
used.
