Table Saws

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.
