While this quality will not help you determine the table saw based on the type of job it is needed for, it will ultimately play a huge role in its overall value. However, safety features and build quality should not be ignored in favor of a lower price tag. In this instance, it can be okay to compare prices with extra features like table saw accessories and extensions. Of course, there are plenty of extra features which can drive up the price of a table saw beyond its pure effectiveness. Ultimately, choosing a cheaper table saw will show itself in the results, and making sure the table saw can accomplish its stated goal is paramount. This question sits at the bottom for good reason as it is not the aspect that should determine the baseline when choosing a table saw– though it often determines the ceiling. The difference in size between a benchtop table saw and a cabinet model is immense with the former often being storable when finished and the latter being immovable and taking upwards of 20 sq ft.
Of course, even if the table saw remains stationary in a workshop, the amount of space you have will be a major influencing factor. For instance, professional contractors often need to take their table saw with them onto job sites which will not only impact portability but other aspects as well. So far, I count my lucky stars and my 10 fingers that I have not had any injuries.While this is an important question, it is worth noting that it can often wrap back into the prior question depending on the kind of work the table saw is needed for.
I've done hundreds (or more) cross-cuts, dozens of angle cuts and a dozen or so rips. I keep the blade lowered so I only have a bit more depth than I need to cut a piece of wood. If I can move the piece with any kind of push stick, I do. I am also super "afraid" of the blade, in that if it takes a little too much pressure to move my work piece, I stop. I've been using a $200 saw for about 4 years, and I'm very pleased with it. It is a personal choice, and I cannot make it for you. Unexpected behavior of a work piece moving through a table saw blade can occur to anyone, and paying for a Sawstop is certainly an option to prevent loss of limb. It's just using fear and a misunderstanding of statistics to make purchase decisions. People that buy the Sawstop often point to the cost of replacing fingers, and I get it. You could get a $280 DeWalt jobsite saw, and it would be a perfectly reasonably first saw. My first and only table saw is my $200 one. (As in you will definitely have projects/paid work or do this professionally? Not just something you might aspire to some day?)ĭo you read all of the instructions (and warnings) about equipment and follow proper precautions and safety procedures? Are you going to generate income from the work you're going to use the saw to complete?
