Versatility
The rip fence is aluminium section, allowing for two working
positions (ripping and angled ripping) and for movement fore and
aft in relation to the saw blade to suit different operations.
It is fixed to a heavy-duty cast iron mounting bracket for rigidity,
and has integral micro adjustment. The assembly runs on a nylon
roller, gliding easily across the beds, and is supported by a
30/40mm diameter solid steel bar for rigidity.
Standard on the TA315 (optional on the larger saws) is the 620mm
Cross Cut Table. Designed for cutting mitres and compound angles,
end trimming, squaring, dividing, and trimming, this table is
again cast iron, and is supported on the RHS by precision ground,
case hardened bearing rollers running on a 40mm diameter solid
steel bar, and on the LHS by cast jib. The fence is aluminium
section and features a telescopic arm, a flip over stop, and a
quadrant scale (90-45degree).

Construction
A large cast iron table mounted on a heavy-duty steel cabinet
provides maximum timber support and a stable and accurate base
for anchoring the spindle, rise and fall, and tilt mechanisms.
The spindle is powered by an industrial motor via a twin belt
drive (3 on the 400/450), and features large diameter saw flanges
for blade stability. It runs in 'sealed for life' bearings mounted
in a cast iron housing, and requires only minimal maintenance.
Rise and fall and tilt mechanisms are square thread screws operated
by hand wheels at the front and side of the machines. Both are
easily accessible.

Safety Features
The aluminium saw guard is riving knife mounted and automatically
rises and falls with the blade. Blade changing does not require
the guard to be removed. Additional safety features include thermal
overload no volt release protection, a lock off emergency stop,
a lockable isolator and a foot stop.
