Jobsite table saws are slightly larger than benchtop models, and usually are placed on a folding or stationary stand during operation. Nowadays, these models are being phased out for more practical jobsite model saws. Benchtop saws are the smallest type of table saw and have the least mass, potentially resulting in increased vibration during a cut. Also, there is less distance from the front edge of the tabletop to the blade, which makes cross cutting stock using a miter more difficult (the miter and/or stock may not be fully supported by the table in front of the blade).
This results in a shorter rip fence, which makes it harder to make a clean, straight cut when ripping. Another restriction results from the top being smaller from the front of the tabletop to the rear. The top of a benchtop table saw is narrower than those of the contractors and cabinet saws, so the width of stock that can be ripped is reduced. The universal motor is not as durable or as quiet as an induction motor, but it offers more power relative to its size and weight. These saws often have parts made of steel, aluminum and plastic and are designed to be compact and light.īenchtop table saws are the least expensive (typically costing in the $100-$200 range) and least capable of the table saws however, they can offer adequate ripping capacity and precision for most tasks. Most modern saws can be lifted by one person and carried to and from a particular location. Some early models used small induction motors, which weren't very powerful, made the saw heavy, and caused a lot of vibration. They almost always have a direct-drive (blade driven directly by the motor) universal motor. This type of saw is most often used by homeowners and DIYers.
