Multipurpose Woodworking Machine

Table Saw: A circular saw with a large, flat table for making accurate rip cuts (with the grain) and crosscuts (against the grain). Many models feature a sliding table or scoring saw for cutting large panels and producing clean, tear-free edges. Surface Planer (Jointer): A cutting head used to flatten one face of a piece of timber and square an edge, which is the first step in creating dimensionally stable lumber. Thicknesser (Planer): This function takes a board that has already been jointed and planes the opposite face to a consistent, pre-set thickness, ensuring the entire board is uniform.
