Table saws are the centrepiece of many workshops, providing powerful, accurate rip and cross cutting. Key features include flat cast iron tables, accurate fences, riving knives and safety guards. Some models incorporate flesh sensing technology for added protection.
What is a table saw used for?
A table saw is a stationary power tool designed for accurate, straight-line cutting of wood, plywood, MDF, and sheet materials. It’s perfect for rip cuts, crosscuts, bevel cuts, and repeated cuts, making it essential in furniture making, cabinetry, flooring, and general carpentry.
What’s the difference between a contractor, cabinet, and jobsite table saw?
Jobsite saws are portable, compact, and ideal for on-site work
Contractor saws offer more power and larger tables, suited for workshops or mobile woodworkers
Cabinet saws are heavy-duty machines with enclosed bases, maximum stability and precision, used in professional woodworking shops
The right model depends on your space, mobility needs, and the scale of your projects.
What features should I look for in a corded table saw?
Key features include:
Blade size (typically 254 mm / 10″) and cutting depth
Rip capacity (distance from blade to fence) for handling larger panels
Accurate fence system and easy bevel adjustment
Riving knife and blade guard for safety
Dust collection port for cleaner operation
Soft-start motor and overload protection for smooth, safe use
Portability (wheeled stands, folding legs) is also a plus for jobsite models.
