Work benches and leg stands

Here's a quick step-by-step guide, which may vary slightly depending on your desired cut, materials and work environment:

• Prepare your work area by mounting the saw on a stable surface, clearing any clutter and wearing safety gear such as eye, ear and dust protection.
• Set the blade height and angle for your cut.
• Measure and mark the cut on your workpiece.
• Position the wood on the table, aligned with the fence for accuracy.
• Power on the saw, allowing the blade to reach full speed before gently feeding the wood into it. You can use a push stick to avoid getting too close to the blade.
• After completing the cut, let the blade come to a complete stop before removing and inspecting the piece.
• Turn off your bench saw and clean up the area.

Yes, you can use a table saw to make accurate angled cuts for corners, framing and more. Our cordless table saw has a simple bevel tilt lever to adjust bevel angles from 0-45°.

Here are some tips for avoiding kickback:

• Use a riving knife to stop the material closing up and catching behind the blade.
• Keep your rip fence aligned and parallel to the blade to prevent twisting or binding.
• Maintain a proper blade height above the cutting material to avoid grabbing the wood aggressively.
• Use a push stick or block to keep control of small or narrow pieces.
• Feed the material steadily, ideally cutting with the grain.

It depends on the types of cuts you plan to make and the materials you’re working with.

• Table saws are suited for rip, bevel and dado cuts, and ideal for handling large, long or thick materials.
• Mitre saws are perfect for quick, accurate crosscuts and angled cuts, particularly with smaller workpieces.
