Metabo TS 254 240 V Site Table Saw , Green

Product Information

The transparent plastic blade guard attaches to the riving knife. You snap it in place and secure it with a small lever. The blade guard has a small ‘leaf’ on the left side for some extra protection. It unfortunately does not have any dust extraction. So far it has been doing a good job, but I do feel it is quite fragile so I’m not sure how long it will last. Removing the blade guard (maybe I should be more careful…) Dust collection Two-point dust extraction – all Festool tools are designed with dust extraction in mind. Dust can be extracted efficiently from above and below the blade for a clean and healthier working environment. As Neil states, “it’s a very good, stable fence. You can push against it, no movement, and it’s not trying to wiggle around on the bed.” Mafell invented the world’s first push-pull saw to combine the ripping capability of a table saw and the convenience and speed of a crosscut mitre saw. Bevel cut – performed by tilting the saw blade within the bed to the required angle. Perfect for applying a bevelled edge to sheet material or long lengths of timber.

Below is a list of some of the best mains powered table saws in the UK. Festool TKS 80 EBS Table Saw Although the saw isn’t overly large, it does come in a pretty massive cardboard box: The cardboard box the TS 254 M came in If the miter gauge isn’t precise enough for you, take a look at the optional sliding table, which can be aligned more precisely. It’s not that expensive for what you get (under €100) and greatly improves the crosscut capacity and accuracy of the saw. Saw Blade: Height and Angle Setting Our reviewer, Neil Bradbury of Avalon Builders, admitted that he’d glanced at the pictures in the instruction manual before attempting to get the saw up and ready to use. And he was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive and easy the process was: Part of the CAS Cordless Alliance S ystem – allows users of this shared battery platform to work with other brands such as Mafell, Rothenberger, Trumpf and soon to be announced – Lamello.

The table top feels solid and was perfectly straight. The coating does seem a little weak though, and I’ve already made quite a few scratches simply by moving the miter gauge and fence. This is purely cosmetic, and it’s hard to expect too much from a machine of this price, but still a pity. ONE-KEY connectivity – the most advanced tool monitoring system available with options to control tool settings and restrict user access remotely. When cutting long lengths or sheet material, make sure it is supported at the rear and side of the machine with extended tables or support rollers.
