Contractor Table Saws

Contractor Table Saws - These are quieter, bulked-up portable models with legs. You won't have to rewire your garage or shop to use one because they have moderately sized motors that still generally use 110VAC. The motor drives the blade using a belt rather than being directly connected like the portable models.

Interestingly enough, we contractors seem to use portable saws more often than contractor saws. We tend to see contractor saws in garages and small shops.

Over the last decade, a new class of contractor saw has emerged called a hybrid saw. It has some of the features of a cabinet saw, but will operates on 110VAC so that it can be used in most home shops. The closed cabinet makes dust collection better, it has a little more power, and may offer an improved drive system to reduce vibration.

These saws were introduced to appeal to the small shop owner who is serious enough to want an improvement over the standard contractor saw, but does not want to spend the additional money and rewire his garage for 220VAC to use a cabinet saw.
