Table saw

[orbital]

Hi all,

I'm building my own breakfast bar, dining table top etc, timber is 1400x300mm and 45mm thick, can anyone recommend a good table saw, I've read good and bad reviews for most models, im looking for something mid-range as it's only diy.

Thanks in advance. 👍

I have got an Einhell 2225U 254mm saw, not cut anything 45mil thick but works well with on most stuff.

I wouldn't bother with a table saw, get a plunge / track saw instead. I've a Makita cordless circular saw, very few jobs it can't do. The table saw is rarely used. Used it last week for the first time in a couple years as I had 90 fence boards to rip.

Bosch GTS 10 J. I’ve had it a few years and used it quite a bit (hobby only). Rips up to 50mm along the grain fairly easily with a sharp blade. Any thicker cuts (think it does up to 80mm) require multiple passes. Hope that helps

plunge track saw, safer, more versatile etc etc

Peter Millard on YouTube is the go-to guy for plunge/tracksaw info:
