Evolution Power Tools Rage 5-S Table Saw, Multi-Purpose & Portable, Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic & More, 255 mm (230 V)

Product Information

Let’s take a look at what table saws are and why they may be useful for your woodworking needs. The traditional circular saws have been around for some time and were first designed to cut timber more efficiently. Well, the table saws are designed on the concept of a circular saw, mounted onto a usually metal work surface. The blade is then moved up and down to decrease or increase the cut depth. The first table saw is believed to be patented by Englishman Samuel Miller in the United States in 1777.

Contractor table saws and benchtop table saws however are obviously not designed in that way. Even though most of their debris will also be diverted into dust collection ports (usually 2½” diameter) onto which you attach a vacuum hose, more sawdust will collect naturally due to the more ‘open’ design of the portable table saw (and fall from the base of the table saw to the ground). So further vacuuming will be required to keep your work area pristine. Table Extensions for Working with Larger Materials Bosch is also one of the biggest names on this list, with build quality equivalent to DeWalt. Similar to the DeWalt, it is also a perfect mixture of portability and power.Probably most important in the article in comparison to other saws we reviewed in the past, one must be very safe while operating these. Very similar to the winner of the highest quality saw for slightly cheaper and a price that works for everyone, the Evolution FURY5-S Multi-Purpose Table Saw is the best value on this list. It perfectly meshes a good price point, and high functionality plus the 3-year warranty on all Evolution products is unheard of in other brands. Best Budget Table Saw 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. It is slightly more expensive than the VonHaus above but has almost identical specs, which are beyond powerful given the price.

The 1800W motor with a 5000-rpm cutting speed will power the resilient 250mm Carbide tipped blade through almost anything you throw at it, but once again, I would not recommend cutting steel and metals.

It comes with a 1,200 Watt motor that can spin the blade up to a lightning-fast 4,800 rpm. This might be explained by the relatively small 210 mm blade that comes installed on the saw. You can cut to a maximum depth of 48 mm when set at 90°, and 45 mm at 45°. Being made of cast iron, it weighs 90kgs (around 14 stone) so make sure you have someone around to help you move it. Evolution came onto the scene a few years ago as a newcomer with its multipurpose cutting technology and blade. It utilises a high torque low rpm gearbox which is capable of easily cutting not only wood but steel, aluminium, plastic etc. Furthermore, it does so with no heat build-up and a completely workable finish with no burr on steel as well as virtually no sparks. 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. Even though the DeWalt is a powerhouse and the most expensive table saw on this list, the Evolution RAGE5-S Multi-Purpose Table Saw wins this category by a landslide. With its high-quality professional build and perfectly clean cuts, it excels for a price that is very palpable for all. Best Value Table Saw

The table saw (aka bench saw, saw bench, saw table or even table saw bench) is an extremely powerful and versatile cutting machine. Most table saws work by using a circular saw blade, driven by a motor, and mounted on an arbor secured with trunnions, protruding through a slot in the saw table top. Types of Table Saw Hands-On Expertise & Collective Knowledge: Our team boasts extensive DIY experience and in-depth knowledge. 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 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 Industry Connections: We maintain close ties with manufacturers and brands, offering insights into trends and upcoming products.Sliding carriage system (as arrow indicates) is available to the left-hand side. Other features include an integral 'foldaway' stand with wheels and handle. Design-wise, this is a quality but no-frills setup. The saw comes in a silver metal and plastic case, with a small table size and no dust extraction hoses in place. You get three different blades for cutting a range of materials, and a clear plastic guard for safety. This is a more affordable, lighter, and more compact version of the top-of-the-range Bosch GTS 635-216 table saw featured above. The AdvancedTableCut 52 weighs just 8.5 kg, less than half the amount of the GTS10J. Most table saws come with a generic table saw blade designed to work to that saw’s specification. That may sound obvious but there are so many variations of table saw blades that if you ever wanted to replace one you need to be very sure you choose the correct type. A mistake could not only spoil your workpiece but also cause you serious injury. For example, both table saw and blade are designed to work to a maximum operating speed (rpm). If the former exceeds the latter the centrifugal force created by the mismatch will destroy the saw blade.
