Evolution Power Tools Rage 5-S Table Saw, Multi-Purpose & Portable, Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic & More, 255 mm (230 V)

Product Information

The most common type of cut is the rip cut, which is used to create long, straight cuts along the grain of the wood. To make a rip cut, the wood is fed into the blade perpendicularly. To minimise the prospect of escaping dust, the blade is enclosed in a metal housing that also includes a chip extractor port at the rear of the saw.

The Evolution Rage 5S Table Saw stands out from its table saw competition thanks to its revolutionary 255 mm multi-material cutting blade. You don’t have to worry about extracting nails embedded in wood. This blade doesn’t care! It will rip through all kinds of material, from reclaimed wood and studwork to box section, RSJ’s and roof flashings! Given the extremely cheap price, if you are on a budget, this could be an option, although you will get a better warranty with the VonHaus. The Bosch GTS 635-216is a high-quality portable table saw and comes from the Bosch Professional range, aka Bosch’s ‘blue’ tools. These tools are specifically “engineered for excellence” and designed with durability and longevity in mind. Regular Updates: Our recommendations stay current with any changes in product performance or availability. Weighing in at a respectable 22.2 kg, it’s not the lightest table saw on my list. It’s still very portable though, and the 250 mm blade puts out an impressive 5,000 rpm no-load speed.

My Top Recommended Table Saws

Even though the saw blades are tiny at just 75 mm, the 96 Watt motor can spin them up to 3,800 rpm. Not bad for such a small bit of kit. If you want a table saw but you don’t have space for one, this is the best one you’re going to get.

Evolution’s multi-material cutting technology was made with durability in mind. Why waste time changing blades time and again when you can bring home one saw, one blade that cuts all? Your body should NOT be in line with the blade. This way, you can avoid being injured by flying sawdust or woodchips.

The best benchtop table saws are light and portable and ideal for DIYers, whilst the best contractor table saws have larger motors and sturdy stands. Cabinet table saws are the ultimate workshop table saw for professionals. Contractor table saws are designed with portability in mind and come fixed to a stand, often with wheels. In general, these portable table saws are larger and more powerful than benchtop saws with larger motors and more robust components. Most can hook up extension tables and come supplied with them. They may also come with induction motors and are belt driven, so are quieter and more comfortable to use. In general, the design of this type of table saw is more generic so you can for example swap out fences and mitre gauges and replace them with aftermarket versions. Benchtop Table Saws This is a more affordable, lighter, and more compact version of the top-of-the-range Bosch GTS 635-216 table saw featured above. The AdvancedTableCut 52 weighs just 8.5 kg, less than half the amount of the GTS10J.

The specs of both of these saws are very similar to each other, except the Fury is drastically cheaper and, to be honest, one of the most feature-rich and moderately priced saws on this list. The patented high torque low RPM gearbox of the Evolution multipurpose technology powers the multipurpose Carbide 255mm blade through wood, mild steel, non-ferrous metals, plastic, etc.It is important to note that this is the most expensive unit on the list, but it definitely is a solid choice for the professional. DeWalt only provides a 1-year warranty with this unit, but my past experience is null and void as these units are built to last. Also with portable table saws, the saw blade is usually positioned towards the front of the table so there is less room to manoeuvre a mitre gauge for example. Rip fences are usually made to fit the table according to the manufacturer’s specific design so you can’t replace them with more generic aftermarket versions. Correct Table Saw Blade Selection Being made of cast iron, it weighs 90kgs (around 14 stone) so make sure you have someone around to help you move it. Contractor table saws and benchtop table saws however are obviously not designed in that way. Even though most of their debris will also be diverted into dust collection ports (usually 2½” diameter) onto which you attach a vacuum hose, more sawdust will collect naturally due to the more ‘open’ design of the portable table saw (and fall from the base of the table saw to the ground). So further vacuuming will be required to keep your work area pristine. Table Extensions for Working with Larger Materials The Einhell TC-TS 2025 /2U table saw is a well-made, robust quality tool. I think it’s another table saw option to consider when browsing for the best table saw for the UK market.
