Workpiece size
One of the first things to be considered is the workpiece size because the cross section
of the material
is crucial for the cutting capacity and therefore selection of the right tool.
Table saws are
preferable for large workpieces, e.g. wooden boards, whereas mitre saws
enable repeatable, quick cuts in
narrower workpieces. The slide function increases the
possible capacity, therefore providing a more versatile range of applications.
Type of cut
The next thing to consider is the type of cut, i.e. what it is you want to do:
cross cut, rip
cut, mitre cut, angled cut or compound cut.
Table saws are particularly suitable for rip
cuts,
whereas mitre saws with or without a slide function are preferably used for cross
cuts. A pull-push saw enables both cuts to be made perfectly. Mitre cuts can be done with
all DIY benchtop saws from Bosch.
Application range
Depending on the application focus, a choice needs to be made between a purely station-
ary tool, e.g. a table saw or a pull-push saw, and tools that are easier to transport, such as
a mitre saw with a slide function.
Always the right saw:
Sliding mitre saw
A mitre saw both with or without a slide function is suitable for
repeated, quick and precise cuts because the saw blade is moved into
the fixed workpiece with these tools. In addition to the precision, this
also increases the work safety for the user.
With a table saw, on the other hand, the workpiece is moved into the
saw blade. The main advantage of this is that rip cuts can be made in
large workpieces because the cutting width is not limited. What’s more,
the large saw table enables comfortable handling of large workpieces.
A pull-push saw combines both advantages in one tool. It is both a
table saw and a sliding mitre saw in one, which makes it suitable both
for rip cuts and repeated, high-precision cross cuts.
The suitable product for your application:
Not all cuts are the same.
When looking for the right product for an applica-
tion, there are a number of criteria that need to be
considered and can significantly affect how perfect-
ly future projects can be done. Here are some
general guidelines to make sure you choose the
product that suits your individual demands:
