Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Table Saws
Spent ages looking for a new table saw too replace my broken 3" one. I wanted one that was inexpensive and produced a straight rip cut, tired of micro adjusting the fence on my old one. Looked at all the ones available. The cheaper ones all had rip a fence that did not work without micro adjusting the rear of the rip fence. Final decided to spend a bit more and read every review and watched all the videos on the triton workcentre. I had a 195mm power saw so purchased one. Basic assemble was easy, and I have to say was impressed, so opted to purchase the triton 235mm power saw, with 82mm depth of cut. It took two attempts to fit the saw to the table, had to use a digital angle finder in the end to set the blade square to the table. Only to find that you loose 30mm from the depth of cut due to thickness of the table. The impressive 82mm depth of cut in now 52mm, too late to send it back. In all I read and watched no one warned about table thickness reducing the maximum depth of cut for any saw fittted by 30mm. Stuck with a saw that will only cut 52mm which is more that I would had had if I had fitted my 195mm saw. I continued to finish the set up. Only plus point perfect square and straight rip cuts. Faults - Kirf blade, cast fitting push locked, slides back when timber binds coming of the the saw, exposing the front of the blade when cutting, requiring repositioning. Mitre gauge, again a cast fitting is lose fitting in slot produces 2mm +- wobble when crosscutting it is imposable to get a square cut parallel with the saw blade, in conjunction the vertical cut was also not square across end cut, dispite my many attempts to correct both including readjusting saw blade which effects the square cut when ripping. Overall disappointed after all the hype and favorable reviews. Going to work on those cast fittings.Read full review

To ANYONE thinking of buying this Workcentre System Stop thinking and just buy one! It's brilliant and worth every penny! The list of projects one is able to undertake with this product is almost endless so I won't even try to cover them. Suffice to say that for anything less than industrial work and for budget vs. quality, this is the tool for you! Although not a review of the product, I feel it necessary to mention the company I purchased this from; ShareLead Ltd - found on eBay at username: recycling-returns. Excellent service, nice people to deal with, professional and their delivery times are fast. One last thing; if you haven't got a circular saw or the saw you have is less than 235mm, get the Triton TSA001 circular saw. It's built for the job and compliments the Workcentre perfectly. Well worth the extra spend. Again, the above named company is the place to go to. I know that around £450 for centre & saw is not small change, but believe me, you'll soon forget about it when you start to see and realise what can be done and how good the results are when using this setup. I'm out of words you'll be glad to know! :) Thanks for taking the time to read this review. Justin HaleRead full review

I bought mine over 30 years ago so this review is of an older model. Looking at the pictures there are some changes but I cannot comment on them. The table is made of pressed steel so might not be as flat as a machined table. For my applications it is good enough. When I bought it it was excellent value for money. I liked the ability to turn the saw up the other way and be able to move the saw to cut across the grain, ingenious and useful. I made a jig from chipboard to hold the wood square and to allow the saw to cut right through the wood. Other reviewers mentioned that when you mount the saw under the table you lose some depth of cut and that this is not mentioned in the description. It is true. I needed a 2inch depth of cut and bought a 2in saw but I had to replace it with a 3in saw immediately at a considerable cost. I bought a Bosch saw but fitting it was troublesome. I made two plates to attach the saw but aligning the saw square with the table is always tricky. Buying the Triton saw would save a difficult job. I kept the table in garages which were sometimes damp so my table is rusty in places. It is unsightly but does not affect the use at all. My saw has failed and I will replace it. Should I replace the table as well? No, the table is still fine after all these years but I will buy Triton saw.Read full review

This is the best piece of woodworking equipment I have ever purchased. I never realised how Much i would use it until I had it. Quick and accurate and a fraction of the time and effort it took me before. WCA201 Workcentre Highly recommended.
