Types of Table Saw – A Woodworker Must Know
A table saw also referred to as a saw-bench is a sawing tool designed for woodworking. This type of saw includes a circular blade, installed on a table and is driven by an electric motor. The saw blade can be modified up or down to determine the depth of the cut.
