Below are portable tablesaws for sale from makers such as Delta, Dewalt, Bosch, Makita, Hitachi, and Porter Cable. A tablesaw is usually the cornerstone of a shop, so choose a good one to build your shop around. Plan ahead! If you plan on only dabbling with small crafts and knickknacks then you should be fine with a smaller and cheaper model such as these, but serious woodworking and furniture building will be much more fun (and easier) if you have a bigger 3-5hp 10"-12" cabinet model tablesaw. The "Cabinet" models are the bigger and more reliable saws, the big brothers to other models. If you are on a limited budget and plan on using the tablesaw for smaller projects, these portables maybe work out fine for you.

Porter-Cable 3812S PC Job Site Table Saw with Stand

Porter-Cable's model 3812 includes a combination of full-size features not often found on bench-top saws. With a full 24-1/2-inch rip capacity, this saw has no trouble ripping a half sheet of plywood. A convenient lever under the front of the table operates slide-out material support rails. A contractor style miter gauge with standard 3/4-inch T-slots offers better support and improved accuracy. A full-size throat plate simplifies blade changes and has room for 13/16-inch stacked dado blades. An exclusive full-size trunion mounting system minimizes vibration and maintains the centerline of the blade throughout bevel travel and reduces time-consuming fence adjustments.

Weighing only 60 pounds, this saw is light enough for one individual to manage, yet sturdy enough to perform demanding cuts. The unit stores easily in a mini-van or pick-up for convenient portability. On-board tool and accessory storage for wrenches, extra blades, blade guards, fences, the miter gauge and cord keeps things in reach and minimizes downtime. Plus, a click-in/click-out blade guard means quick and easy set-up/break-down during transport.

The 15-amp model 3812 features an electric brake for faster workflow. With rails extended, a 3/4-inch panel can be inserted to provide full table support. A rack and pinion bevel adjustment system means faster and more accurate bevel setting from –2 degrees to 47 degrees.

Other user-friendly features include an easy access on/off switch positioned in an up-front location, a base that attaches to a bench, stand, or two-by-four sawhorse mount, and a rip measurement scale located to the right of the fence for a clear line-of-sight during use. A rotating dust nozzle moves with the motor housing to channel dust through the rear of the saw as efficiently as possible. When used with the optional out-feed support, the saw provides solid support both to the right and the rear of the blade. The Job Site Table Saw comes complete with a premium Riptide 24-tooth carbide-tipped blade, premium miter gauge, rip fence, quick-release blade guard, blade wrenches, and operating manual.

Bosch 4000-07 10" Worksite Table Saw with Folding Steel Stand, Rear Outfeed Support, and Left Side Support

Bosch's 10-inch Worksite table saw might just be the best of the current bunch. Benchtop table saws--which weigh 60 to 100 pounds and are light enough for one person to carry from the truck to the job site--have increased in popularity in recent years. They set up easily on a workbench or sawhorses and generally feature stable components that make them great for pros and serious hobbyists alike. Although at 60 pounds the Bosch is lighter than any other saw in its class, this saw is no lightweight. It sports a die-cast undercarriage and powerful 4.4-horsepower, 15 amp motor--burly components that make it a serious, albeit slight, contender. Conveniently, the Bosch comes ready to use right out of the box; we were making cuts about 10 minutes after the UPS delivery. Plus, it's the only benchtop table saw with an arbor lock, so mounting the blade is a one-wrench affair (less chance for busted knuckles). The wrench--like all those that come with Bosch tools--is forged, rather than stamped, and so there are no sharp edges that dig into your hand during blade changes. It's a small detail, but one that matters and one that's typical of the attention to detail paid by Bosch engineers.

A flip of the paddle-style on/off switch initiates the soft-start electronics, which ramp the blade up to speed quickly without any disturbing jolt. The electronic feedback, popular on many saws today, keeps the blade turning at a constant speed, no matter what the load. The fence is the heart of any table saw and we found Bosch's to be a beauty. It's well machined and locks securely and accurately to the table. The cam-lock handle is padded, seats flush, and feels good to use. Like the comparable DeWalt saw, the Bosch features an extendable fence that makes it easy to rip four-by-eight panel material. It feels solid and slides smoothly, and the scales are easy to read. (There's even a built-in magnifying glass to cut down on the squint factor.) As with all the new Bosch tools, wrenches and removable items store nicely onboard the saw. The fence snaps into a holder on the side of the saw and stays put, and the miter gauge slides into a slot on the front of the tool--yet another small detail that we appreciate. The bottom line? The Bosch is a powerful saw that handles big stock without bogging down. --Mark McDonald
