Regardless of your skill level, a new or reconditioned table saw is considered an essential basic tool for any person interested in woodworking. The design concept is quite simple. The table consists of an electric motor that moves a circular saw blade, mounted under the table, and the saw blade protrudes from under the table surface at adjustable heights. Wood is passed through the blade and remains steady on the tabletop and can be cut at any angle.
Depending on desired quality, size, and brand, new models of table saws can be quite expensive. Prices can range from $190 for very small, tabletop models to the more expansive, professional standalone worksite models costing about $3,000. However, many reconditioned table saws are available and are much more cost effective; yet still provide a high quality table saw for all your woodworking needs, whether your work is primarily in your workshop or at a job site.
Top Recommended Reconditioned Table Saw Models
One of the recommended reconditioned table saw models is the factory-reconditioned DeWALT DW745R Heavy Duty 10-Inch table saw. This lightweight, yet compact model holds a 16-Inch max rip capacity. Sporting a roll cage and rubber feet, the DW745R model is highly mobile and is easily transportable to your work site. A newer DW745R model can cost about $700, but a factory reconditioned DeWALT model costs about $400. Since this model is factory-reconditioned, DeWALT offers a one year limited warranty with purchase.
Another model worthy of mentioning is the factory-reconditioned Skil 3305-01-RT 120-Volt 10-Inch Table Saw. Although this is a smaller scale tabletop design, it has more than enough sawing power for the average woodworker. Newer models cost approximately $250, but Skil’s factory reconditioned model only costs about $90, which offers a great reconditioned table saw for the price, and comes with a standard Skil warranty.
The reconditioned Bosch 4000-09-RT 10" Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Stand sports the biggest table surface and has a 25-inch rip capacity. The Bosch 4000 is both easy to handle, maintains constant speed, and touts accurate cutting with minimal noise. A newer Bosch 4000 can cost about $750, but a reconditioned table saw model will only cost about $450 and includes a Bosch one-year limited warranty.
Regardless of which reconditioned table saw model you choose, you will definitely be getting a quality, factory-inspected table saw at a significantly reduced price. Reconditioned saws are inspected at tested by the manufacturer so you will be sure to get a saw that is fully functional and performs just like a brand model. Also considering the fact that you will more than likely be getting a warranty with your purchase, there is really no reason not to choose a reconditioned table saw.
