Folding table
The folding table allows you to quickly and easily increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe working area of \u200b\u200bthe saw machine, which may be necessary when processing large-sized workpieces. Upon completion of the work, the structure can also be easily folded back. When folded, the saw equipment is convenient to store, it does not take up much space and will not interfere. Usually, a folding table is installed on a stand, that is, a frame. On the surface of the folding table, a linear measuring scale or a marking grid can be applied. In some cases, the table is equipped with grippers, hooks, or other types of workpiece holders.
Weight
The total weight of the tool. For petrol models (see "Power Source"), usually, dry weight is indicated, excluding fuel.
In general, it makes sense to pay attention to this parameter primarily when choosing a hand tool. At the same time, note that higher power, a more capacious battery or a capacious tank will inevitably affect weight. However, tools with similar characteristics can and do differ markedly in weight. And here it is worth considering that a lighter model will be more comfortable to work with, but weight reduction may affect reliability and/or cost. In addition, a more massive tool is more stable, it is not so prone to jerks under uneven loads. If we talk about specific numbers, then a weight of
3 kg or less is considered very light,
3–5 kg is relatively small,
5–7 kg is medium,
7–10 kg is significant, and some powerful tools (mainly gasoline) weigh and
over 10 kg.
As for stationary saws, weight is of secondary importance for them — it mainly affects the ease of transportation.
