There was plenty to like about this saw, such as the stand, the blade that bevels to 45 degrees, and the reasonable price. Every time we tightened it into position, we’d need to make several checks and adjustments before it was ready to cut. Plus, the fence doesn’t even tighten straight. We prefer a rip capacity of 24 inches or more for regular use, so this is just too small for most applications. First, it has a small rip capacity of just 16½ inches. If our review were based on this alone, the TACKLIFE saw might be a top contender.Īs it is, this saw has too many flaws for us to recommend it. The TACKLIFE Table Saw is still pretty compact and portable, but it’s on a stand that raises it up to a usable height, so you won’t need to locate a table to place it on.
The saws we’ve reviewed so far have all been tabletop saws that are built small and portable.
