bench saws

Stationary wood cutters

A bench saw is a power saw mounted on a workbench or its own stand, with the blade projecting up through a flat table surface.

The term usually refers to a table saw used for woodworking, where material is pushed across the table into the spinning blade: He ripped the plywood on the bench saw.

The fixed mounting allows for precise, straight cuts.
