Rockwell Announces New Laser Line Table Saw
We have miter saws with lasers, drills with lasers, and even hand saws with lasers, but up until now I have never seen a table saw with a laser. Rockwell has finally given us the laser line table saw you never knew you needed. The laser is designed to make it easier to see exactly where the saw blade will meet the wood, and should really come in handy for getting accurately sized miter cuts.
The laser grabs our attention, but there is more to the saw. This is the first jobsite table saw from Rockwell and they have packed it full of features and accessories options. The saw has a full 3-9/16 inch cutting capacity which allows it to cut through 4×4″ dimensional lumber, and has a 30-inch rip capacity to the right side of the blade. The optional Sliding Extension Table (RW9189) increases the rip capacity to 36-3/4 inches, and enables crosscuts up to 28 inches.
Another interesting optional add-on to the saw is the Rockwell Finisher (RW9188). As crazy as it sounds, this add-on turns your table saw into a portable jointer. It can handle stock up to 11 inches wide and 3-1/8 inches thick. When used in conjunction with the Sliding Extension table, it can handle sheets up to 36-3/4 inches wide.
The Rockwell 10 inch Jobsite Table Saw with Laser (RK7241S, 9.99), and the optional accessories are expected to be available the first quarter of 2011. For those hungry for more information check out the Press Release after the Read More.
