Every woodworker inevitably needs a table saw to complete certain tasks. The type of table saw you buy for these tasks relies on what you use it for. Some are lightweight and mobile, while others are heavy and cumbersome.
The contractor table saw is a lightweight and portable machine, which often has wheels mounted on the base. The top is generally bolted to the base, however if the saw is to be moved regularly a wooden frame will suffice in holding the table saw in place without bolts. The motor on a contractor table saw is made to detach quickly as well. The top, base, and motor fit in any size truck bed with plenty of room to spare.
Table Saw Tools
The cabinetmaker table saw is a stationary heavy-duty powerhouse, which is made for heavy use day after day. Generally you set one of the bad-boys up one time and hope you like where you located it. It will require a dedicated 220-volt electrical outlet, and a vacuum system for dust removal.
The contractor table saw is made with lightweight material, and thinner metal, while the cabinet table saw is made with cast iron. A table saw motor consists of a large coil of copper wire, which is very heavy. The cabinet table saw motor is generally bigger and heavier adding to the weight of the overall saw.
If you need to move it to the job site you will want to purchase a contractor table saw, but if you use it solely in the shop, the cabinet table saw will be your best bet. If you are just starting out you can probably purchase the contractor saw at first since the cost is a lot less. Eventually the cabinet shop will need a cabinet table saw as a permanent fixture.
