A sliding table saw is primarily used to rip and crosscut sheet stock or panels in a production setting.
The sliding table makes it much easier and safer to feed these large workpieces through a cut. This saw
can also be used as a traditional table saw for most types of through-cuts.
The primary components of a sliding table saw are the sliding table, the fixed table, the crosscut table
and fence, the rip fence, the main blade and the scoring blade.
A typical cut using the sliding table is made by placing the workpiece on the sliding table and crosscut
table, positioning it against the crosscut fence where needed so the waste portion of the workpiece is on
the opposite side of the blade, and pushing the workpiece through the blade by sliding the table.
The scoring blade may or may not be used, depending on if the workpiece is faced with laminate,
melamine, or other solid surface material, or if tear-out free cuts are required. If the scoring blade
is not needed for cutting operations, it can be lowered under the table so it will stay sharp for later
operations.
When using the sliding table saw as a traditional table saw, the sliding table is locked in place and the
rip fence is then used to guide the workpiece through the cut.
In order to produce accurate results, the sliding table must move parallel to the blade and the scoring
blade must be aligned with the main blade. Similarly, the rip fence must be parallel with the main blade
and the crosscut fence must calibrated to the main blade.
