table saws

Stationary wood cutters

A table saw is a power tool with a circular blade mounted on an arbor and protruding through the surface of a flat table, allowing wood or other materials to be pushed through the blade for straight cuts.

The fence guides material parallel to the blade; the miter gauge handles angled crosscuts.

Table saws are fundamental workshop equipment for woodworking, cabinetry, and construction.
