The Axminster Professional AP254SB Dado Saw is built for daily use in a busy workshop. A large capacity, super strong saw, it's provided with the Axminster Professional APOHCG Overhead Crown Guard, Axminster Professional 200mm Dado Blade Set and Axminster Professional Dado Blade Table Insert. With this saw kit, you can cut accurate grooves and create dados up to 20mm wide.

The AP254SB saw bench has been carefully designed to include many useful features. It offers an impressive 80mm depth of cut and with its cast iron, right hand extension table allowing a generous 695mm width of cut to the fence. The motor, castings and trunnions are all mounted on the saw’s chassis. This is a much better and stronger option as it doesn't place any stress on the underside of the table.

The AP254SB’s chassis is heavy gauge steel, supporting the smooth cast iron table. A quality mitre fence runs in T-slot grooves provided on both sides of the blade. The full length fence is a rigid T-style which locks at the front, adjustment is smooth and easy. The rip fence comes with a Hi/Lo aluminium auxiliary fence. The 2.5kW 1ph quiet and powerful induction motor gives you all the oomph required. Blade adjustment for height and tilt are controlled separately on individual handwheels. A steel rear take-off is also supplied.

Supplied with this dado saw, the overhead crown guard is recommended by HSE for improved user protection and is a must when using a dado blade. The overhead guard hinges back for easy access to the blades and the clear hood offers non restrictive views to the blade during cutting.

Two point extraction is available, via a 63mm extraction port at the rear of the top arm of the crown guard, combined with a 100mm outlet at the rear of the machine. Connection to a suitable extractor is recommended.

The included 200mm diameter Dado Blade Set comprises 2 x 24 tooth TCT outer blades, 6 inner chipper blades and 4 shim spacers. The chippers and spacers fit between the outer TCT blades. Simply select the inner chippers and spacers needed to cut the width of the slot you require. The outer blades have a 3.2mm kerf. The inner chippers are 4 x 3.0mm, 1 x 2.2mm and 1 x 1.5mm. The spacers are 2 x 0.4mm and 2 x 0.3mm. The dado head should never be used to cut all the way through the timber, it is for machining grooves only, using light, multiple cuts. This saw is also provided with an Axcaliber TCT general purpose blade.

N.B. This Machine requires a 16 amp supply and it's recommended that a C Type breaker is used, if you are unsure please contact a qualified electrician.
