We call it a saw bench or a table saw.
It has circular saw blade kept on arbor, which an electric motor derives.
When we talk about the modern table saw, if one moves the blade down and then up, they can obviously vary the depth of the cut.
In olden days the table has to be moved for adjusting the cuts and the depth.
Modern table saw is easy to handle in this case.
     By adjusting the blade's angle one can adjust the angle in which the cut is made.
This is in modern saws.
However, earlier, it was different.
The table's angle must be adjusted in order to adjust the angle of cut in the table.
   Generally there are only four types of table saws.
They are contractor table saws, hybrid table saws, bench top table saws and cabinet table saws.
First let us have a look at bench top table saws.
They are light in weight.
They are designed in such a way that they can work by sitting on the table or similar other support.
In this type direct drive is present from a motor of universal type.
Since their weight is less, one person can carry them to the required work place easily.
Pulleys or other kinds of v-belts are not used in this type of saws.

They often have wheels with them.
The motor used here is induction type of 750 to 1500 watts.
    Cabinet saws are very heavy since they use steel and cast iron.
This is done because to reduce vibration and increase the accuracy.
It has a closed base that is the cabinet.
They also use the motors of induction type in the range of 3 to 5 hp.
     Installation of heavy duty circuit is to be done if this type of saws is to be used at home.
Thee v-belts are used in parallel here and the cabinet itself has the motor.
