CUTTING

Stand smarter

with a cutting

table you can

easily customize

with special

features and

lighting. It makes

all the difference.

QUICK ADJUSTMENTS

Purchase an adjustable-height cutting table so you

can easily raise it up and down to fit your space and

needs. Adhere a measuring tape for making quick

measurements to the front edge of the table with

double-stick tape.

SHED SOME LIGHT

Add floor and task lights

where needed. Look for

fixtures that have bonus

features like a pattern

holder, brightness levels,

or a charging station.

ON THE HOOK

Hang rulers and templates

from Command hooks

attached to an edge of your

cutting table to keep your

work surface clear.
