Metabo TS 254 240 V Site Table Saw , Green

Product Information

Mafell invented the world’s first push-pull saw to combine the ripping capability of a table saw and the convenience and speed of a crosscut mitre saw.

Integrated leg stand which unfolds in seconds for instant set-up anywhere you wish - made from patented stable die-cast aluminium Utilises a double motor cradle – supporting the motor that’s connected at the front and rear of the machine eliminating any flex meaning it connects to a guide at not only the front but also the rear of the machine to keep everything secure and solidDual dust outlet ports – dust can be extracted from above and below the blade for a cleaner and safer working environment. One clever thing Metabo has done is that they added a small rubber plate around the saw blade. When you first start the saw you actually have to cut through this plate, so some rubber bits may come flying out. What this rubber plate does is that it prevents any sawdust being pulled up again from below to above the table. Because the blade cuts through this plate, the gap is really minimal. I can’t really test how much sawdust would come out without this plate (it’s not removable), but I think it makes quite a difference. Portability Integrated stand made from stable die-cast aluminium (patent filed); Unfolded in a matter of seconds, with secure positioning Unique dust extraction suction channel – improves the efficiency of the extraction process by directing and concentrating waste material towards the rear of the machine. Provides a cleaner cut line and healthier working environment.

A key feature of a table saw is its ability to perform a wide range of cuts, on different sizes of material… with accuracy. The transparent plastic blade guard attaches to the riving knife. You snap it in place and secure it with a small lever. The blade guard has a small ‘leaf’ on the left side for some extra protection. It unfortunately does not have any dust extraction. So far it has been doing a good job, but I do feel it is quite fragile so I’m not sure how long it will last. Removing the blade guard (maybe I should be more careful…) Dust collection The table top feels solid and was perfectly straight. The coating does seem a little weak though, and I’ve already made quite a few scratches simply by moving the miter gauge and fence. This is purely cosmetic, and it’s hard to expect too much from a machine of this price, but still a pity.When cutting long lengths or sheet material, make sure it is supported at the rear and side of the machine with extended tables or support rollers. The Milwaukee Fuel range is specifically designed for professional users that demand the highest performance from their cordless tools. Milwaukee Fuel brushless motors are known for their impressive torque and reliability, which is why they were used to power the M18FTS ONE- KEY table saw. Weighing in at just 22kg, when used with the recommend ed 18V REDLITHIUM high output 12AH battery , this incredibly light weight cordless table saw , has the same rip cutting power as a corded mains machine . Sensor controlled guard light – increases visibility of the cut line improving accuracy and safety.

Excellent mobility - this Metabo 10 inch table saw is extremely compact and lightweightwith a trolley function (wheels and an extending handle) It may not be the perfect table saw, especially if you require absolute accuracy, but for many users it will be precise and powerful enough. Given the low price, I think Metabo provides excellent value for money. What I liked Similarly to adjust the angle of the cut, turn the adjuster wheel until you’ve set the blade to angle you wish to cut, clearly marked on the scale.All in all, I’m quite pleased with the Metabo TS 254 M. It has many strong points, and improves on some of the weaknesses of other entry-level table saws. E-control electronic variable speed – select the perfect speed for multiple materials including wood, laminates, plastics and aluminium. Although table saws can be used for crosscutting applications, they require the material to be pushed into the blade; a cutting action normally associated with rip cutting. The Mafell Erika table saw can make cross-cuts by placing the material against the adjustable mitre fence and pulling the blade towards to operator, working on a similar principle to a mitre saw – that of bringing the blade to the material. This technique allows fast and extremely accurate cutting with a massive cut width of 430mm. Regarded as the finest portable saw manufacturer in the world, Mafell have designed the Erika to offer unrivalled precision, versatility and reliability. Advantages of Mafell Erika 85 Push Pull Table Saw Mitre cut – keeping the blade at 90 degrees to the saw bed and adjusting the mitre guide to the required angle, makes table saws an excellent tool for mitre cutting. Regular users of table saws often build a fixed angled sled, which slides inside both channels of the table when wanting to make repeat mitre cuts.
