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

Product Information

On the other hand, the crosscut is used to cut across the grain of the wood. This type of cut is typically used to create shorter cuts or to trim pieces of wood to size. 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.

The best benchtop table saws are light and portable and ideal for DIYers, whilst the best contractor table saws have larger motors and sturdy stands. Cabinet table saws are the ultimate workshop table saw for professionals. What really impressed me about this table saw is the cut depth. 80 mm at 90 degrees and an impressive 65 mm at 45. The blade height and angle are controlled with a dual-purpose handle that is made from hard plastic. The aluminium fence clamps into place at one end parallel to the blade to ensure accurate rip cuts and the mitre gauge fits snugly into its slot on the table for accurate cross-cut work. 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. Because this is a benchtop saw, it’s surprisingly compact. It has a brushed aluminium table and features two slide-out sections that increase the overall working size but can still be stowed away when it’s not in use.

Safety Features to Look For

As most know, DeWalt has been in the woodworking game for over 80 years and is a leader in building quality products. They are generally geared more for the professional rather than the consumer and can take a beating for years to come. We will be reviewing two evolution Table Saws in this article, this being the most expensive of the two at the time of this review. A large carry handle is built into the machine for easy transport and there is a useful built-in drawer for storing saw blades and other accessories.

Evolution’s multi-material cutting technology was made with durability in mind. Why waste time changing blades time and again when you can bring home one saw, one blade that cuts all? 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. Fully adjustable blade with rise and fall (0 - 80mm) and the tilt capacity (45° to the left hand), allows great cutting versatility.

How The DIY Works Team Tests & Rates Table Saws

On cabinet table saws the problem is relatively easily solved since dust collection takes place within the cabinet itself and the dust falls onto a slanting shelf that funnels it into a dust extraction port (usually 4″ diameter) to which a hose is attached. You then just apply suction from a vacuum. Another excellent budget-friendly saw on my list is the Excel 210 mm portable table saw. Doing away with bulky stands, you simply put this table saw on your workbench, and get to work. It’s ideal if you’ve got a small workshop or you want to take the table saw to the job with you.
