What Is a Firestorm Table Saw?

A table saw sits on a stand, and you pass the materials that you need to cut over it. The blade actually is only half exposed, and it rotates at high speeds. Black and Decker Corporation, an American international company headquartered in Towson, Maryland, created the Firestorm 10-inch Table Saw. You can buy Black and Decker tools from local home improvement stores. Does this Spark an idea?

Specifications

The Black and Decker 10-inch Firestorm Table Saw features a 15-amp motor and has a cutting capacity up to 3 inches. The cutting capacity is the total thickness through which the blade can cut. The blades are carbide tipped, allowing you to cut items like plastic, wood and nonferrous metals. The saw features a self-adjusting aluminum fence, and a table saw fence is a grooved, rectangular object that sits on the actual table. You can use this as a guide or to hold items in place. The table saw produces up to 3 horsepower (hp) of power, and one hp equals between 735.5 and 750 watts (W).

Stand
