Table Saw

About Table Saw

A table saw is an all-purpose woodworking tool that consists of a circular saw mounted under a table surface or an arbor. The blade protrudes above the table to enable it to cut and precise wood. You can use it in countless woodworking projects as it is convenient and consistent. 

A table saw is good at cutting and trimming different wood stocks into your preferred shapes in a short period. It’s excellent in straightening wood corners if you want to fit the edges of smaller pieces together for smooth and well-finished furniture. 

While its primary purpose is to make quality rip cuts and crosscuts, you can also use it if you need to cut joints, make bevel cuts, and angle cuts. Additionally, you can use a table saw to create grooves and rabbets. 

Table saws are categorized into two types: Portable saws and Stationary saws.

• Portable saws are not bolted to a cabinet or a table. They are light thus easy to move from one place to another. These include Benchtop, Compact, and Jobsite table saws.
• Stationary table saws are heavier as they’re made of cast iron for stability and durability. They include Contractor, Hybrid, and Cabinet saws.
