I'm on the hunt for some effective infeed support solutions for my SawStop CTS table saw. The distance between the blade and the front of the table is pretty short, which makes certain cuts a bit risky. Anyone have suggestions or tips?

A common approach is to attach an infeed table to the front rail. You can utilize the t-slot to mount a piece of wood or some L-brackets to secure the infeed table. This should give you the extra support you need!
For infeed support when dealing with longer boards, the Bow Xtender fence has been a game changer for me. It comes with featherboards and infeed supports which really help with stability during long rip cuts. Just a heads up though, if you’re mainly working with panels or sheet goods, a dedicated mobile table might serve you better.
You might want to consider building a freestanding table that's about a foot or two away from the saw. This setup will help support longer pieces and allow you to finish your cuts safely, making it easier to work with larger materials.
That sounds intriguing! I need something to better support my Incra Mitre 1000SE Crosscut fence specifically, so I might look into that.
