Question 1

Which table saw is the best?

Accepted Answer

The most suitable table saw for you depends on the type of project you’ll be working on, how much space you have in your workshop, and how much you can afford to spend. For example, if you do a lot of heavy-duty work, such as cutting large pieces of timber, you’re going to need a table saw with a powerful motor. Contractor table saws tend to have larger motors than benchtop saws and can handle a multitude of tasks. Alternatively, if your workshop is only small or you only need one for light-duty tasks, the last thing you want to do is opt for a table saw with a large footprint. Instead, go for a portable or benchtop model that can be easily moved around the room or used for mobile jobs, such as trimming branches and cutting lumber.

Question 3

Is it easy to adjust the blade height on a table saw?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once you know how, it’s easy to adjust the height of the blade on your table saw. To start, make sure that your table saw is switched off completely. It’s then a matter of spinning the wheel at the front in the direction you want the blade to go – usually anticlockwise to lower the blade to the table and clockwise to raise it. You may wish to use a combination square to make sure the blade is at the desired height for the task. However, as a general rule of thumb, the blade height should be no more than a tooth size above the cutting material to ensure a clean, safe cut.

Question 4

How do I use a bench saw safely?

Accepted Answer

Much like any other large power tool, a bench saw can be dangerous if it’s not used correctly. That’s why you must always wear the appropriate safety gear (i.e. goggles and hearing protection). When using a bench saw, you need to make sure the blade is set at the appropriate height to protect your fingers if your hand slips. This should be no more than 6mm above the height of the piece you’re cutting. It is worth making a push stick to guide the wood through the blade, too. You also need to make sure that the tabletop is clear of any obstructions. And if you’re making long or deep cuts, support the workpiece to ensure it doesn’t fall off the back of the table or into the blade. To keep your bench saw in good working order and prevent build-up, it will need cleaning and lubricating regularly.
