The table saw is used for cutting large pieces of wood into shorter pieces of wood, and the table saw does this be having a saw blade that rotates, and then you would push the wood into the saw blade, and we used it by pushing the wood into the saw blade, and then we would have another person on the other side to get the other side of the wood, and then they would start pulling the wood, so that the wood would cut in half.
