Crosscut sleds can enlarge

crosscutting capacity in front of the blade. They also add safety and accuracy to many cuts.

saw could block your access to the saw's front controls, particularly the Off switch. That would not only be inconvenient but also potentially dangerous when you need to shut things down quickly. Second, placing your body farther away from the front of the saw also compromises your ability to control workpieces against the rip fence when you switch from crosscutting to ripping tasks. You want to make sure you can always keep workpieces held tightly

against the fence and guided carefully. Instead of an infeed table, I suggest you make a crosscut sled outfitted with runners that fit in the miter gauge slots. A sled will add more usable space in front of the blade for those wider

crosscuts, plus you can use it for cutting small parts, mitering and even dadoing. It's a safe and proven accessory, and plans are widely available for building them.
