Makita HS0600/2 240V 270mm Circular Saw

Product Information

So far, we’ve only looked at common table saws with a blade diameter of 10 inches (254mm) and lower, and none of them can cut deeper than 4 inches (101.6mm). But since we did mention table saws with 12-inch (304.8mm) blades and their ability to cut up to 4 inches (101.6mm) deep earlier, you might be wondering if that’s the limit in terms of the blade size and depth of cut. If there is a blade already on it then it will have a size usually shown as something like 165mm x 20mm. The 165mm refers to the diameter of the blade and the 20mm refers to the bore size. See the diagram below for a clear illustration. A table saw can easily be one of the most expensive tools you’ll ever buy for your DIY woodwork endeavors. And if you’re in the woodwork business, it’s a must-have because it brings unmatched convenience and generally makes work easier and more efficient. But since the different types of wood, you’ll come across daily will rarely have the same dimensions, keeping the cut depth in mind is crucial when shopping for a table saw.

In contrast with the 7 ¼” blades, the 10 ¼” has a most extreme cut depth of 3 13/16″ while the 12″ blade can cut to 4″. It’ll cut to a depth of 66mm (46mm at a 45 degree angle), and can easily be adjusted by sliding a lever to tilt the footplate, but there’s no guide, so you’ll have to make your own measurements. The bevel is better – it can be adjusted by loosening or tightening two screws, and there’s a guide to ensure accuracy. The saw comes with a parallel guide, an allen key (which stores in the saw’s handle) and, impressively, a tough, plastic carrying case. There are two common blade diameters for mini circular saws – 85mm and 115mm . In comparison, a standard circular saw blade size ranges from 165-190mm. The cutting depth on mini circular saws is therefore reduced – 115mm versions can cut down to around 40mm at 90° and the more compact 85mm versions to around 25mm , compared to a standard saw’s cutting depth of around 65mm.

If the tool is faulty within 30 days of buying it, we will arrange for its collection at no cost to you and supply a replacement.

Meanwhile, the R4514 Pro comes with maximum cut depths of 2-¼”(57.15mm) and 3-½” (88.9mm) for 45-degree and 90-degree cutting angles, respectively. Last but not least is the 13 Amp R4520, which can cut up to 2-¼” (57.15mm) deep at a 45-degree angle and 3-¼” (82.55mm)deep at a 90-degree angle of cut. Ryobi Table Saw Cut Depth There are more and more battery-powered tools out there, from drills to chainsaws, and they can be great. If you’re working up a ladder or away from the power grid, battery power is a game-changer. However, corded power tools can’t run out of battery just when you need them, and if you’re working at home you don’t really need batteries anyway. If portability is at the top of your list, go for battery power, if not then keep it corded. Cutting Depth is Key

First off is the relationship between the cutting depth of a table saw and the blade size. Generally, the cutting depth of any given table saw largely depends on the size of its blade. The larger the blade diameter, the deeper it can cut and vice versa. The heavy-duty R4513 has a maximum depth of cut of 3-½” (88.9mm) at 90 degrees and a 2-½” (63.5mm) possible depth of cut at a 45 degrees angle. The compact R45171, on the other hand, has a maximum depth of 3.375″ (85.725mm) for a 90-degree cut and 2.5″ (63.5mm) for a 45-degree one. It has a similar cutting capacity as the 15 Amp R4518 for both cutting angles. Key specs – Weight: 3.37kg; Blade diameter: 165mm; Cutting depth at 90 degrees: 55mm; Cutting depth at 45 degrees: 38mm; No-load speed: 5,000rpm

Wilmar: Ridgid Part # R4512 – Ridgid 13 Amp 10 In. Professional Cast Iron Table Saw – Tile & Table Saws – Home Depot Pro Key specs – Weight: 3.8kg; Blade diameter: 190mm; Cutting depth at 90 degrees: 66mm; Cutting depth at 45 degrees: 46mm; No-load speed: 5,200rpmThe other thing you need to understand before we get to the main discussion is that the angle of cut dictates how deep you can go. Using the same saw, cutting at a 45-degree angle will mean a shallower possible cut compared to cutting at a 90-degree angle. With its handle to the left of the blade, it’s easy to use – especially with well-placed trigger and trigger release buttons on the handle – and made short work of our test cuts. We liked the saw’s reassuring 3.8kg weight, and it delivered confidence in operation, but it may be too cumbersome for some uses. It recorded 100dB when running freely, and 108dB while cutting.
