Metabo TS 254 240 V Site Table Saw , Green

Product Information

Two-point dust extraction – all Festool tools are designed with dust extraction in mind. Dust can be extracted efficiently from above and below the blade for a clean and healthier working environment. Works on the Milwaukee 18V cordless platform – huge range of cordless tools available, proven reliability, comparable to mains power without the cables. Unique dust extraction suction channel – improves the efficiency of the extraction process by directing and concentrating waste material towards the rear of the machine. Provides a cleaner cut line and healthier working environment. The Metabo TS254’s blade is set in the down position for transportation. Adjusting it so that you can make a cut is very easy to do. Again, look for the colour red; the blade adjuster sits at the front of the saw with a red knob. Wind the red knob until you’ve got the blade set to the desired height.

Changing the height of the saw blade is simple and works really smoothly. Simply turn a plastic handle to adjust the height. It moves slightly easier downwards than upwards, but that is normal (gravity!). There is no indication of height, but I personally have not really had the need for that, and you can always just measure the height of the blade. To retract the blade all the way under the table, you do need to remove the blade guard (but not the riving knife). Lowering the Saw BladeObviously the perceived challenge is getting a saw like the TS254 actually set up and ready to cut. Excellent mobility - this Metabo 10 inch table saw is extremely compact and lightweightwith a trolley function (wheels and an extending handle) It also features the ability to extend in or out as needed. A cross-cutting fence is also supplied, and like before, is built right into the body of the saw. Look for it on the left-handside When cutting long lengths or sheet material, make sure it is supported at the rear and side of the machine with extended tables or support rollers.

The positive stops on the miter gauge are very helpful, as are the accurate stops for the blade angle, and the clever system for cutting -1.5 and 46.5 degree angles. The TS 254 M provides sufficient power, and has an extremely clean cut even with the standard blade that comes with the saw.The motor has sufficient power with 1500 Watt, and the blade turns at 4200 RPM. It actually has a soft start motor, so you don’t have to worry about blowing a fuse due to a high peak in power when you turn on the saw.
