Chomp Table Accessories Set -- Precision Guides for More Confident Making
The Chomp Table Accessories Set is a three-piece accessory kit designed for use with the ChompSaw. It includes an Attachable Fence for straight cuts at exact measurements, a Circle Guide for cutting smooth, even circles, and an Angle Guide for precise angled cuts. Together, these three guides transform the ChompSaw from a basic cutting tool into a precision making system -- one that gives children the structure and accuracy they need to produce results they are genuinely proud of.
What's Included
The set contains three purpose-built accessories, each addressing a different cutting challenge:
- Attachable Fence -- A new lid for the ChompSaw featuring an adjustable fence that enables straight cuts at exact measurements between ¼" and 3½". Eliminates the need to freehand a straight line and keeps every cut consistent.
- Circle Guide -- A dual-sided guide for cutting smooth, even circles. Flip the tool to measure in inches or centimetres and set a custom circle radius for wheels, gears, porthole windows, and any circular design element.
- Angle Guide -- Inserts into the ChompSaw's new lid and uses built-in 15-degree marking lines to set precise angles for angled cuts. Removes the guesswork from structural and decorative angled cuts entirely.
How It Helps
One of the biggest barriers children face in cardboard construction is the gap between what they can picture and what they can physically produce. Freehand cutting, estimating angles, and drawing smooth curves all require a level of spatial reasoning and fine motor control that many children -- particularly those with dyspraxia or dyslexia -- find genuinely difficult. The Chomp Table Accessories Set closes that gap by doing the measuring and guiding work for the child, leaving them free to focus on the making.

- Durable accessories designed for repeated classroom use alongside the ChompSaw
Supporting Children with Dyspraxia / DCD
Children with dyspraxia, also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), frequently find cutting tasks particularly challenging. Holding a straight line, estimating an angle visually, and cutting a smooth curve all demand precise coordination between hand, eye, and tool -- exactly the kind of multi-step physical task that DCD makes difficult. The Chomp Table Accessories Set replaces visual estimation and freehand control with physical guides that constrain and direct the cutting action. The Attachable Fence keeps cuts straight without the child needing to follow a pencil line. The Circle Guide sets the radius so the child only needs to rotate the tool, not judge the curve. The Angle Guide locks the angle in place before the cut is made. Each accessory reduces a complex coordination demand to a simpler, more manageable physical action -- which is precisely the kind of environmental adaptation that occupational therapists recommend for children with DCD in practical activity settings.
Supporting Children with Dyslexia
For children with dyslexia, making and construction activities are among the most rewarding learning contexts available -- spaces where spatial thinking, creativity, and problem-solving come to the fore without the barriers of reading and writing. The Chomp Table Accessories Set extends what children with dyslexia can achieve in these spaces by making precision techniques accessible. Cutting wheels for a vehicle, building a structure with angled joints, or designing a project with geometric accuracy are all more achievable when the tools provide the structure. The result is a richer, more ambitious making experience that builds confidence and develops skills that transfer across the curriculum.
A Complete Precision System
The Chomp Table Accessories Set is designed to work as part of the complete Chomp Maker Bundle system. Used alongside the ChompSaw, the Chomp Cardboard Scoring Tool, and the Chomp Cardboard Hole Punch Tool, it gives children access to the full range of core cardboard construction techniques -- cutting, scoring, joining, and now precision shaping -- using a cohesive set of tools designed to work together.
Whether you are a parent investing in a home making kit that will grow with your child, or a school equipping a DT room or SEN making station, the Chomp Table Accessories Set is the upgrade that takes cardboard construction from basic to genuinely impressive.

The gap between what a child imagines making and what they can actually cut is one of the most discouraging experiences in craft. The Chomp Table Accessories Set closes that gap with three precision guides -- a Fence for straight cuts, a Circle Guide for smooth curves, and an Angle Guide for exact angles -- all designed to do the measuring and guiding work so the child can focus on the making.
For children with dyspraxia / DCD, each guide replaces a complex coordination demand with a simpler, directed action. For children with dyslexia, it opens up ambitious, precision-driven projects in a space where they can genuinely excel. The results speak for themselves -- and so does the confidence that follows.
A three-piece set that transforms the ChompSaw into a complete precision making system for every child.
