Scheppach HS80 210mm Electric Tilting Table Saw | 1200w 230v

Initially for the money I thought this was a great saw. Powerful enough motor to rip through allot of large stuff. It's compact but still useful. And the fence, although fiddly, once it was tightened, was solid. I've had mine around 2 years and it's had a bit more than a hobbiest use, but not enough to justify the faults.The thing is slowly falling apart. The riving knife bolts down in such a horrible way that once it's off, you ain't getting it back on. Pain in the backside if you want to take it off for groove cuts. The dust collection isn't great from underneath, but I didn't expect it to be. The dust collection on top attaches to the riving knife so having taken that off and not able to put it back in, I couldn't ever use it. The gaurd limits you allot on the size timber. And is awkward to push pieces through.The rulers marked on the edges are a mile off so ignore them and measure off the blade.The height adjuster is now broken. I put it up to full height to rip some 6x2 and it's now stuck there. So am now in the market for something else.If you want something to do thinner cuts to get you started with a table saw, this isn't too terrible. But im almost certain there are other companies producing the exact same, rebranded saw for less than 100 pound. So go for one of those.

It's been said so many times, you get what you pay for. Its okay for the money, sits on my bench top without taking up too much space. In my opinion build quality is poor. Good for cutting small pieces of wood. If you have a big project this is not for you. Accuracy of cuts leaves much to be desired and rise and fall mechanism unreliable and the fence flimsy and inadequate. I would say this is a value for money item for the not too fussy DIY'er. I regret buying this machine.

I bought this mainly because it is quite compact. The sawblade and motor are both very good. However, I am very disappointed with the table, the fence and the mitre which are very temperamental, inaccurate and dangerous. I don't feel confident in using this without a custom made stand to give it some stability. So much so, I am now in the process of making one.

Will burst your ear drums, you used to get saws that were quiet now they are all cheap and nasty,even a £400 dealt i got was the same. This was is compact but horrible to use, I tend to used a cordless hand held makita 18v if I can.
