What is a sliding table saw?

The woodworking table saw is a commonly used woodworking tool that combines a saw blade and a table design, allowing carpenters to efficiently and accurately cut wood. The following is a detailed analysis of the woodworking table saw:

1、 Basic composition

The woodworking table saw is mainly composed of the following parts:

Rack: As the supporting structure of the entire saw machine, it is usually made of welded steel plates to ensure the stability and durability of the saw machine.

Main saw section: including main saw blade and main motor. The main saw blade is responsible for the main cutting work, with a diameter generally between 300-400mm, driven by the main motor through a V-belt, and a speed between 3000-6000r/min.

Groove saw part (marking saw blade): with a small diameter, usually around 120mm, it is used to cut grooves with a depth of 1-2mm and a width 0.1-0.2mm thicker than the main saw blade on the bottom surface of the processed plate before cutting, to ensure that the edge of the saw edge will not tear when the main saw blade cuts. The marking saw blade is driven by a separate motor, with a speed generally above 9000r/min and a cutting speed of 56-60m/s.

Push table: located above the saw blade, it is a flat structure used to stabilize wood and push it for cutting. The push table can adjust its height and angle to meet the cutting needs of different sizes and shapes of wood.

Guiding device: including transverse guiding baffle and lateral guiding baffle, used to ensure that the wood maintains the correct position and direction during the cutting process.

Other auxiliary components, such as brackets, lower rails, rollers, etc., are used to support and push the push table, as well as to achieve other functions of the saw machine.

2、 Working principle

The working principle of a woodworking table saw is relatively simple. Before cutting, the carpenter needs to adjust the height and angle of the push table and saw blade according to the size and shape of the wood to be cut. Then, place the wood on the push table and move it along the guide rail by hand, gradually bringing the wood closer to the saw blade. When the wood comes into contact with the saw blade, the blade begins to rotate and cut the wood. Due to the design of the push table, carpenters can easily control the cutting speed and direction of wood, thereby achieving accurate and efficient cutting.

3、 Application Fields

Woodworking table saws are widely used in fields such as furniture manufacturing, construction engineering, and wood product processing. It can not only cut various materials of wood (including hardwood, cork, artificial board, etc.), but also perform cutting at various angles and curves, with high applicability. Meanwhile, due to its relatively simple operation and high efficiency, the woodworking table saw has become one of the indispensable and important tools in the woodworking industry.

4、 Precautions for use

Before using a woodworking table saw, ensure that all components of the saw are securely installed and in good condition.

Choose the appropriate saw blade based on the material and size of the wood to be cut.

Wear safety equipment such as goggles and gloves to prevent accidents from occurring.

Maintain the stability and even pushing of the saw blade during the cutting process to avoid uneven cutting or damage to the saw blade.

Regularly maintain and upkeep the sawing machine to ensure its long-term stable operation.
