The blade tilts up to 45 degrees to the left for making bevel cuts, and can cut up to 2-¼-inch deep at that angle. The SawStop table saw has a 20-inch-wide by 27-inch-deep table, but with the extensions, allows you to make rip cuts as wide as 30.5 inches to the right and 16.5 inches to the left. And this saw handles them all: cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and dado cuts with the appropriate blade. The sturdy cast-iron frame means you won’t need to worry about vibrations interfering with the perfect cut. This powerful table saw has a 1.75-horsepower motor that spins the 10-inch blade up to 3,000 rpm. Most DIYers and home handypeople don’t need the power, size, or expense of a large table saw, but if you do, the SawStop CNS175-SFA30 Contractor Table Saw is the tool of choice. With these considerations in mind, let’s take a look at the best table saw picks on the market to find the right fit for you. These expensive tools are mostly used by professionals in woodworking shops. Finally, there are cabinet table saws that enclose the motor within a cabinet that serves as the support for the work table and blade up above. These are more powerful and are suited to the more serious hobbyist or professional. There are also contractor table saws that stand on their own built-in table. There are table saws that sit atop your work bench or on a folding stand in your shed (or maybe you're even building your own with roofing), and these are both very popular with DIYers. One of the biggest considerations when choosing a table saw is the format that's right for you. The other is a rabbet cut, which is a partially grooved cut commonly used when building cabinets or furniture like a porch swing, picnic table, or headboard. One is a dado cut, which produces a flat-bottomed groove across the board. With the right type of blade, you can also use your table saw for specialty cuts. Beveled cuts, which cut into the end of the board at an angle, are another possibility. You can also do a miter cut with a table saw: that's a diagonal cut across the width of a board, and is very useful when constructing trim. You can also use your table saw for crosscuts this is a cut that goes across the grain to reduce a board by length. They provide fast, highly accurate rip cuts, which is a cut that goes with the wood's grain to reduce a board's width. Table saws are useful for quite a few different types of cuts. The table-saw blade is partly exposed most table saws let you adjust the blade up and down a bit to tailor the amount of exposed blade, as well as its angle, to your needs. These power tools consist of a circular blade that's mounted underneath a flat, table-like work surface, so unlike most other power saws, the table saw cuts from underneath rather than from above. If you work with wood in any capacity, chances are you rely on a table saw to make clean, accurate cuts.
