The Axminster Workshop AW216BTS Table Saw is an excellent, compact woodworking table saw for a home workshop, hobby woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts or for everyday woodworking tasks. Featuring a precision ground cast iron table, smooth chassis-mounted trunnion system and quiet 1.1kW induction motor, it delivers accurate cuts without taking up excessive workshop space. Slightly more compact than the AW254TS Table Saw, it is particularly well suited for cutting smaller timber pieces with precision, ideal for furniture projects and general woodworking tasks.
Powered by a quiet 1.1 kW induction motor, this saw is ideal for use in residential areas where noise is a concern. Its robust, precision ground cast iron table features 19 mm mitre fence T-slots on both sides of the blade, allowing workpieces to glide smoothly across the surface. Despite its compact size, it offers impressive cutting capacities: 60 mm depth at 90° and 40 mm at 45°, with a maximum rip width of 345 mm making it well suited to a wide variety of tasks. The table measures 790 x 925 mm and comes with left, right, and rear extensions for added versatility. The full-length rip fence includes a sliding sub-fence with high/low adjustment options.
The tilt and height adjustment mechanism and motor are bolted directly to the chassis rather than the underside of the table, ensuring exceptionally smooth operation without added stress from hanging components. This design provides precise, effortless adjustments, enabling a wide range of cuts for diverse woodworking applications.
Dust extraction on the AW216BTS Table Saw is highly efficient, combining above-blade and below-table extraction into a single port for connection to an extractor. Safety features include an NVR switch with a separate, lockable Emergency Stop function. Removable side panels make cleaning and maintenance quick and simple.
The sturdy stand features a compact leg design for stability, even when handling larger or heavier workpieces. Constructed from powder-coated steel, the stand raises the saw to a comfortable working height, and rubber feet keep it securely in place during use.
This compact table saw offers exceptional value while delivering impressive performance for its size. Ideal for home workshops, hobby woodworkers, furniture makers and DIY renovation projects, it's equally at home in a small professional workshop. Perfect for cutting smaller sheet materials and producing accurate rip cuts in both hardwood and softwood, it's a versatile addition to any workshop.
