Charnwood W629 10'' Cast Iron Table Saw with Sliding Carriage

Product Information

In all, I am very pleased with this saw bench and would recommend it for home use or professional workshop use as there's nothing to beat it on the market at the price and the added bonus is the excellent cross cut table and fence. First launched in 2015, the W629 has now become our best selling table saw model. The cutting capacities are big enough for any hobby workshop, providing a level of accuracy only normally found on industrial machinery, with a compact foot print suited to the average sized workshop. There are now 3 ways to configure the table saw. The sliding carriage can now be fitted on either side of the bladeso that you can work on the left or right. If you are not using the sliding carriage you can fit one extension table on either side of the blade or both on the right hand side or both on the left hand side. For 40- years, Charnwood has supplied a wide range of woodworking products for trade and hobby, and Kendal Tools & Machinery are proud to supply them to you at the best possible prices.

Lathes use a rotating workpiece and a stationary cutting tool to shape metal or wood, depending on the cutting attachment.Whether you need router tables, dust extractors, a morticer, bench grinders, or anything else, Kendal Tools & Machinery is thrilled to present a wide array of Charnwood woodworking machinery, perfect for any job or workshop space you may have available to you. A larger version of Charnwood's best selling 8" saw with the same compact design, highly accurate saw with a quiet induction motor.

The saw itself is relatively easy to set up. The table is square and flat. The out tables are pretty thin pressed metal, but adequate. The fence and fence rail take a while to set up, but end up square if care is taken. The fence itself is extruded aluminium, so light weight. The first thing you'll want to do is update it or stiffen it. You'll also want to sort a zero clearance insert and probably update the riving system if you want to do anything serious. The motor is quiet and powerful enough. The motor spindle is true, with no blade wobble. Talking about the blade, the one supplied is useless, so replace it straight away. Blade height and blade angle are controlled using 2 separate hand wheels. The sliding carriage, included as standard, is a pleasure to use with a cast iron bed travelling on 4 bearing guides. Any angle can be set on the long support fence. A screw clamp holds the work secure and a flip over length stop is fitted for repeat cuts.

Charnwood W629 10 inch Cast Iron Table Saw

I would have preferred seeing a belt drive rather than direct shaft drive at this price, but all things considered it is a quiet, reasonably precise bench saw which whilst fiddly to accurise, once set up is easy to use and makes accurate cuts. I use it in a professional workshop and for the money it's very good, and unlike some other similar machines from other companies, is trade rated so the motor is rated for at least an hours use per day or over 300 hours annually which is about what I use it for. The W629 has now become our best selling table saw model. The cutting capacities are big enough for any hobby workshop, providing a level of accuracy only normally found on industrial machinery, with a compact foot print suited to the average sized workshop. The main table is precision ground cast iron, and has 2 fabricated side extension tables to give impressive cutting capacities, perfect for the smaller workshop. Supplied with 36 tooth TCT sawblade, sliding carriage, extension tables, sliding mitre fence, floorstand, adjustable feet, 1.7m power cable and UK 3 pin plug.

As such, please reach out to us if you require any further advice, we would be happy to assist you in fulfilling your project’s needs. The writhing knife cannot easily be removed for blind cuts when making shallow rebates...it's a nightmare to replace it if you do remove it and took me 15 minutes as reaching the nut and bolt whilst holding the shims and stop plate in place needs care and dexterity! The fence needs lifting slightly to slide it without damaging the work table as the cast fence support attached to the fence can catch the table. I cleaned the table off and applied a was paste to it to prevent rust and did the same for the mitre table which by the way is excellent but a PITA to set up if you need to adjust the accuracy. Mine was pretty much spot on from the factory.

The main table is precision ground cast iron to give a flat surface that will last forever. The surface area is further increased with the addition of 2 steel extension tables offering greater support when working with larger panels and boards. Bandsaws consist of a motorised blade that houses continuously toothed metal sheets. Inner wheels drive the blade and can cut a mix of materials including plastic, different varieties of wood, and metal, with the correct type of blade. The main table is precision ground cast iron and also has 2 fabricated side extension tables to give impressive cutting capacities. The induction motor turns the blade via a drive belt which reduces noise and increases accuracy. Blade height and blade angle are controlled using 2 separate hand wheels. The sliding carriage, included as standard, is a joy to use with a cast iron bed travelling on 4 bearing guides. Any angle can be set on the long support fence. A screw clamp holds the work secure and a flip over length stop is fitted for repeat cuts. Dust extraction from the blade cover is poor. You need a powerful extractor to make using it worth while;
