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

Product Information

Adjusting both the height and angle of the blade is accomplished with a pair of wheels, and you get an adjustable fence that can be positioned on both sides of the blade.

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. 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 Credit subject to status and affordability.

This table saw is not just powerful but versatile too. It features the largest table size on my list with maximum dimensions of 1200 x 640 mm, so larger workpieces can be handled with ease. It comes with transport wheels so it can easily be manoeuvred into the correct working position. The folding stand means it can be collapsed and conveniently stored after use. 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 MaterialsAlso 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 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. 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

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 Contractor table saws are designed with portability in mind and come fixed to a stand, often with wheels. In general, these portable table saws are larger and more powerful than benchtop saws with larger motors and more robust components. Most can hook up extension tables and come supplied with them. They may also come with induction motors and are belt driven, so are quieter and more comfortable to use. In general, the design of this type of table saw is more generic so you can for example swap out fences and mitre gauges and replace them with aftermarket versions. Benchtop Table Saws 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 DangerIt 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°. 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. Making use of a 1,500 Watt motor, this little devil has a decent no-load speed at the blade of 5,000 rpm. It’s the best budget table saw for DIYers on a budget, who still want to achieve good results.

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. To minimise the prospect of escaping dust, the blade is enclosed in a metal housing that also includes a chip extractor port at the rear of the saw. 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. 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 Depth of cut is 85 mm with the blade in a vertical position and 65 mm when tilted to 45 degrees. Compound cuts are also no problem for the Evolution Fury. The mitre gauge angle extends to 60 degrees on either side of the vertical and the angle for bevel cuts tilts to 45 degrees.Solid parallel and cross stops help to secure the workpiece in place. If you’re performing cross-cuts the cross stop contains an angle scale of +/- 60 degrees to ensure accuracy. A dual-purpose handle controls both the height and angle of the blade. The blade guard is also transparent to provide greater visibility when cutting. The table saw can cut to a depth of 85 mm when positioned at 90 degrees and 65 mm when angled at 45 degrees.
