A table saw is a circular blade mounted on a table. This assembly may be equipped with
a chassis for convenience of use. According to the various models, blade diameters may
vary affecting cutting capacity. It is essential for cutting out wooden panels (or derived
products), plastic, for preparing cleats, form boards, spars, etc., for dimensioning (i.e.
cutting lengthwise). Thanks to its tilting blade, it also allows angles to be cut up to 45°.
The table extensions allow larger panels to be cut.
Look for a machine whose cutting capacities are suited to the kind of work you are doing.
The size and quality of the table also have to be taken into account. An aluminium table, for
example gives better slip of the piece to be cut.
To increase efficiency, always adjust the depth of the cut in order that the blade extends
beyond the thickness of the material by the height of one tooth.
The blade brake function, if your machine has one, allows the blade to be stopped rapidly.
The tungsten carbide insert blades cut better and remain sharp for longer. Always use a suitable
blade that is in good condition and perfectly sharp.
the more teeth the blade has, the finer the cut. .
It is better to hook your machine up to a vacuum cleaner in order to collect as much dust as
possible
The lighting function, if your machine has one, makes it more comfortable to work with in
dark environments.
The laser, if your machine has one, produces a beam of light which shows you where the blade
will go.
The use of vices proves to be very useful for cutting long pieces.
To facilitate moving, some are provided with castors or folding chassis.
