Table Saw - 255mm

Absolutely delighted with this new addition to my home workshop.
Out of the box it needed very little adjustment all of which was very easy to do.
Fence is really solid and allows for extremely accurate cuts.
Highly recommend.

Was on the look out for a good compact table saw. Seen a few reviews on YouTube. Placed my order and was not disappointed. Highly recommended.

This table saw came highly recommended to me and I have certainty not been disappointed. The fence is rock solid totally square and true out the box. Everything fantastic highly recommend buying this product

I bought this to replace an old DeWalt Flip Saw I had been struggling with for years.

Well this tool finally had enough!

The Rutlands table saw has been a revelation. ACCURATE cuts every time with the rack and pinion design at both ends of the guide rail, ala DeWalt design.
Locking tilt mechanism with stops at both ends of the range, mean repeatability is easy for 0 and 90 degree cuts. Nice flat base.
It has a very powerful motor, but despite this its comparitively light to carry about.
Very wide capacity of cut, comparible with the larger DeWalt offering, but the Rutlands is much smaller in size despite this, and with it being so light it is very portable.

I had actually ordered the Larger DeWalt Table Saw before purchasing the Rutlands. Unfortunalty the DeWalt arrived with transit damage to one the racks used for the parallel fence. One of the alignment pins had somehow bin punched (I found a matching round hole in the boxing) damaging the pin and warping the rack rail just at the worst position, and there were other points of damage in different locations. I had the choice of a replacement or a refund, and finally decided on a refund to purchase the Rutlands which was less than half the price.
Before reboxing I switched the machine on once to test the machine for loudness. And yes it was very, very loud.
The Rutlands is also very loud, but I think that the DeWalt was noticibly louder although I could not test them side by side.
It was a hard choice not to go for a replacement, the DeWalt was obviously a very high quality product, which I would happily have stayed with if not for the damage.

I had recently discovered the Rutlands via some YouTube vids and decided to take a punt. The Rutlands being less than half the price, smaller but with a similar capacity I hoped it would be lighter than the DeWalt which it very much turned out to be.

I would say that the DeWalt has the best build quality, I could imagine it lasting for decades and cutting accurately for its entire life. I think the Rutlands uses more plastic, but is much the lighter for that. And is obviously cheaper.
If I owned a proper workshop where I could keep a Table Saw in a fixed spot I would probably on balance choose the DeWalt. The newer DeWalt table saw designs being as good as the Flip Saw design were bad (in my opinion).
But for me in my circumstances I would opt for the Rutlands every time.
A good table saw is an absolute necessity, and after the flip saw its a joy to use the Rutlands every time. Particularly the parallel fence design. I almost want to laugh each time I use it, because of how accurate and easy it is to adjust.

The saw is accurate, well thought out, light and very powerful, ripping through stock without problems.

Another benefit of the Rutlands is that it has what seems to be a clever alignment mechanism for making the blade parallel to the guide slots. I have not needed to try this because the machine arrived setup completely accurate in this regard, as well as the 0 and 90 degree angle stops, and the parallel fence movement scale. But it was another reason I decided on the Rutlands.

My only gripe with the Rutlands was the discovery that the riving knife was not completely removable! Arggggg!
Again the Riving Knife came perfectly adjusted to the blade. And it has a very nice mechanism for releasing it enough, to adjust its height and then locking it back into position. BUT from factory it cannot be removed completely, which is essential for some operations and flexibilty in certain situations.
I can attest to the safety aspects of the Riving Knife, having once carelessly put my hand behind the spinning blade (on the flip saw, which did not have a Riving Knife, I had bought second hand), which caught the wood and pulled it through with my hand attached. I was very lucky not to lose the hand or any fingers but did suffer a nasty rip through the end of one finger, now fully healed with only some scarring.
Perhaps this is the reason the Rutlands does not allow removal and they have made it difficult to dismantle it so as to make modifications.
However I did finally find a way to cut the end of the Knife so as to make it removable, see attached image. Awkward cutting in situ, using a multitool and a quality carbide blade.
Now the riving knife can be fully removed and re-inserted with ease, just as accurately as before, unleashing the full potential of the table saw.
Having learned NEVER (with or without riving knife) to place my hands behind the blade during cutting operations, even in some tricky situations as a temp quick solution, I am now able to make FULL use of the saw.

I am absolutely delighted with the saw which came with a spare set of Bushes for the motor. It seems it is not possible to get spare parts for this machine, which seems a great shame, I wish it were. I just hope it lasts a long time, because its great and incredible value.

Great saw a great price, I am a new woodworker and did a lot of YouTube research on which table saw to buy. This one does everything a well known branded one would do for £600 less.
