Bosch Professional mobile workbench GTA 60 W (622 mm height, 1220 mm length, compatible with all Bosch Professional table saws)

Product Information

Blade size and cutting depth don’t vary greatly between table saw manufacturers and models either – saw blades are usually around 250mm in diameter and cut depth at 90° is around 80mm.

The best benchtop table saws are light and portable and ideal for DIYers, whilst the best contractor table saws have larger motors and sturdy stands. Cabinet table saws are the ultimate workshop table saw for professionals.A table saw extension comes in very useful when you want to work with and support material significantly larger than the original table size. Some table saw extension tables are standalone and need to be attached to the main saw table via supports before use, whilst others come already attached to the table via a hinge or telescoping mechanism. Safety Features to Look For This noticeably smaller footprint is down to Bosch’s new Nanoblade technology. The traditional circular saw blade is replaced with a saw bar and revolving micro-chain. The saw blades are also maintenance-free. The Einhell TC-TS 2025 /2U table saw is a well-made, robust quality tool. I think it’s another table saw option to consider when browsing for the best table saw for the UK market.

The aluminium fence clamps into place at one end parallel to the blade to ensure accurate rip cuts. The mitre gauge fits snugly into its slot on the table for accurate cross-cut work as well. Because this is a benchtop saw, it’s surprisingly compact. It has a brushed aluminium table and features two slide-out sections that increase the overall working size but can still be stowed away when it’s not in use. This table saw can make vertical cuts to a depth of 52 mm (hence its name). It can also make horizontal mitre cuts of +/- 60 degrees and vertical mitre cuts of 45 degrees. Hybrid table saws are a ‘cut-down’ version of the cabinet saw with similar features. They too are stationary table saws but smaller, lighter, less powerful, and less costly. The cutting height and angle can be easily adjusted with the hand wheel and calibrated gauge. You can cut down to 83 mm with the blade in a vertical position and 58 mm if tilted to 45 degrees. Complex projects are no problem for this table saw either. It can accommodate common compound cuts with its 60-degree mitre cut and 45-degree bevel cut capacity.If space is at a real premium or you plan on doing seriously small-scale woodworking, this is the table saw for you. The NovelLife mini table saw is indeed a small bit of kit. It can’t compare to the full-size saws on my list like the Bosch GTS 10J, but for little jobs it’s hard to beat. Also with portable table saws, the saw blade is usually positioned towards the front of the table so there is less room to manoeuvre a mitre gauge for example. Rip fences are usually made to fit the table according to the manufacturer’s specific design so you can’t replace them with more generic aftermarket versions. Correct Table Saw Blade Selection

The powerful 1,600 Watt motor can create a no-load speed of 5,500 rpm. It also has a soft start, from a large well-positioned on-off switch, and runs with overload protection. Its 8″ blade can cut to a depth of 70 mm when set at 90 degrees and 50 mm when set at 45 degrees. For the money, I was surprised that it has such a large table size. At 1094 x 487, it has a larger workspace compared with the more expensive ParkerBrand PTS-250. The extending side tables are easy to fit and give you a flexible footprint when space is at a premium. Weighing in at a respectable 22.2 kg, it’s not the lightest table saw on my list. It’s still very portable though, and the 250 mm blade puts out an impressive 5,000 rpm no-load speed. The Bosch GTS 635-216is a high-quality portable table saw and comes from the Bosch Professional range, aka Bosch’s ‘blue’ tools. These tools are specifically “engineered for excellence” and designed with durability and longevity in mind. These days, the best table saws come with a magnetic switch. This is a great idea because in the event of a power cut the magnet automatically stops the table saw from starting up when power is restored from the mains supply.

And finally, if the on-off button is recessed behind a protective flap that mechanism protects the button from being accidentally pressed. Blade Guards Keep Your Hands Away from Danger The On-Off switch is of course an essential item on any electrical appliance but on a table saw there are some extra safety features of the switch to look for.

With portable table saws, you do have to make separate provisions for dust collection. Dust collection ports are built-in, but they need to be hooked up to a standalone vacuum system. Cabinet Table Saws Apart from operating speed, the next thing you need to consider is the blade size – specifically its diameter, width, and hole size – to ensure compatibility with the table saw. The most popular blade size is 250mm, equating to a maximum cutting depth of about 80mm .In this next section, we’ll discuss the most common safety features that are built into or come with the table saw. Then we’ll consider the common sense things you should be thinking about as the operator of this potentially dangerous piece of equipment. If your table saw does not come with the following features maybe you should look for another one that does. On-Off Switches that Keep You Safe What really impressed me about this table saw is the cut depth. 80 mm at 90 degrees and an impressive 65 mm at 45. The blade height and angle are controlled with a dual-purpose handle that is made from hard plastic. The Evolution Fury 5S is the Evolution Rage 5S’s “cousin”. Both table saws share Evolution’s patented technology and most design features. In comparison, the Fury’s main table size is smaller (938 mm x 642 mm compared to 1,200 mm x 640 mm). The Rage’s folding stand and transport wheels have been replaced with a non-collapsible stand and rubber feet. Even though the saw blades are tiny at just 75 mm, the 96 Watt motor can spin them up to 3,800 rpm. Not bad for such a small bit of kit. If you want a table saw but you don’t have space for one, this is the best one you’re going to get. Both the Bosch 4100-09 and the Dewalt DW745 feature a 15amp motor, which means that power shouldn’t be a big issue with either of these models. The Dewalt’s table saw sports a high-torque motor which can efficiently deliver a no-load sped of 3,850 rpm. The Bosch saw, on the other hand, can provide a no-load speed of 3,650 rpm.
