Table Saw - 255mm with Stand, Soft Start Motor, Rack and Pinion Fence - 48T

The Rutlands® table saw with stand features a large, cast aluminium table top with an anti-friction coating to ensure fast and smooth movement of the workpiece. The full-length aluminium rip fence locks at both the front and rear of the table and has the additional advantage of a torsion lever to ensure maximum clamping strength, which prevents the fence creeping when sawing large workpieces. The blade can be micro-adjusted so that it is always parallel to the rip fence and mitre slot. Now featuring a soft start module, the motor gradually ramps up to full speed, reducing the current draw at start-up and prolonging the working life of the motor.

Two rack and pinion fence rails ensure that the rip fence stays parallel to the blade, allowing for a maximum ripping capacity of 625mm. The hinged sub-fence can be laid flat to form a low fence for safe cutting of thin workpieces. All blade adjustments are made from a centrally located knob, which allows for quick and easy tilting of the blade and height adjustment with just one hand. Powered by a high torque 2000W motor, the saw is fitted with a 255mm, 48 tooth fine finish blade with 10° ATB carbide teeth suitable for general use on hardwood, softwood, and composite woods.

The maximum sawing depths are 85mm at 0° and 60mm at 45°. The mitre gauge, push stick, tool kit and power cable all have on-board storage for fast and easy accessibility. The no-volt release switch with safety stop prevents the saw from accidently re-starting after a power cut. A 63mm dust port allows for fast connection to industry standard dust hoses and extractors.

The stand is purpose designed to position the saw at a comfortable table working height of 890mm. The stand features four tubular legs fitted with no mar rubber feet, one of which features height adjustment, ideal when working on an uneven floor to prevent rocking. The table saw is easy to transport with its ergonomic handle and low weight of 22kg. This is an excellent saw for home woodworking, furniture and cabinet making and first and second fix joinery.

The saw is shipped with the riving knife in its 'storage' position, and the riving knife must be raised above the blade prior to use, as per the supplied user guide. ©
