Woodworking Innovation to a Whole New Level

Shop Fox does a lot right, but when it comes to power tool innovation there is probably no single better manufacturer. This is evidenced once again in the Shop Fox W1819 table saw that takes innovation to a whole new level. Performance, precision, durability and heavy-duty construction assure safety is never questioned and the final product is always perfect.

Where this table saw stands out is the sheer ripping capacity which comes in with a max rip of 29 ½-inches. This is fully complimented with the adjustable T-slot miter gauge which is simple to adjust and gives you precise measurements. After adding the anodized fence extension, attach a vacuum to the 4-inch dust port, and flip stop, you’re good to go.

Superior Power and Unparalleled Safety Features

The Shop Fox 3 HP 10-Inch Table Saw is powered by a 3-HP Lesson motor and complimented by a triple belt drive. The real riving knife follows the blade in an up and down motion and tilting which gives you a superior, clean cut.

The W1819 has all the top safety features built-in including a spreader, guard and anti-kickback pawls. The spreader reduces kickback to where users have noted no kickback, or a minimal amount when compared to other heavy-duty table saws. The clear guard keeps a barrier between you and the blade while offering a see-through design which provides visibility while cutting. The anti-kickback pawls provides only one way of travel for wood, and if there’s kickback, the pawls slow or stop it all-together.
