Table saws, also known as bench saws or table top saws, are powerful woodworking tools that are designed to cut large sheets of material such as wood, plastic, or metal. They feature a circular saw blade that protrudes from a flat table surface, allowing users to guide their workpiece through the blade to make precise cuts. We have a wide range of table saws for sale in various sizes and types, ranging from portable table saw models to heavy-duty stationary machines. They are commonly used in construction, carpentry, and woodworking shops for cutting large sheets of material into smaller pieces or for creating intricate shapes and angles.
The blade size of a table saw is an important consideration, as it determines the depth of cut that the saw can make. Larger blades can cut thicker material, but they also require a more powerful motor to drive them. Smaller blades are more suitable for intricate cuts and can be easier to control.
Rip Fence
The rip fence is a guide that runs parallel to the saw blade, allowing you to make precise cuts along the length of your workpiece. A high-quality rip fence is essential for accurate and consistent cuts.
Mitre Gauge
The mitre gauge is another guide that allows you to make angled cuts. It is typically used for cutting mitres and bevels and can be adjusted to various angles for precise cuts.
Dust Collection System
Table saws generate a lot of sawdust and debris, which can be harmful if inhaled. A dust collection system helps to keep the work area clean and reduces the risk of respiratory problems.
Blade Guard
The blade guard is a safety feature that covers the saw blade when it is not in use, preventing accidental contact with the blade. It can also be adjusted to accommodate different blade angles and thicknesses, making it a versatile feature for a variety of cutting tasks.

FAQs
Can a table saw cut metal?
Yes, a table saw can cut metal, but you will need to use the appropriate blade and take proper safety precautions. Metal-cutting blades are available for most table saw models.
How do I align the blade on my table saw?
To align the blade on a table saw, you will need to adjust the blade height and angle, as well as the position of the rip fence and mitre gauge. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and take your time to ensure that the blade is aligned correctly.
What safety features should I look for in a table saw?
When it comes to safety features in a table saw, you should look for a saw with a blade guard to prevent accidental contact with the blade. A riving knife is another important safety feature that helps prevent kickback. A good quality rip fence that locks firmly in place and a push stick or push block to keep your hands away from the blade are also essential safety features. Additionally, a table saw with an emergency stop switch, anti-kickback pawls, and a flesh-detection technology feature can enhance the safety of the saw.
