Rockwell has found a way to increase the depth of cut to 3 9/16”. This is more than other saws, and allows the user to cut through a 4×4 post with just one pass. The unique laser cut line indicator shows the exact place the blade will cut the material, so cuts are more precise. Other features include a class leading 30” of cut capacity, and a quick-folding stand and wheels for easy transportation from place to place. The attachment program for the table saw consists of a sliding extension table and a finisher.

The sliding extension table fits onto the left side of the saw, and expands the cutting capacity of the saw to a huge 36 ¾”. Crosscutting, mitering, and taper cutting large sheets becomes a breeze. The finisher is a unique accessory, using rapidly rotating blades to plane and smooth materials up to 3 1/8” thick. Add these two accessories to turn this powerful job site saw into a portable precision woodworking saw and finisher.
