Table Saw Makita MLT100NX1

The Makita MLT100NX1 table saw is a benchtop power saw designed for precision cutting tasks in workshop and professional environments. It is driven by a 1500 W motor with an idle speed of 4300 RPM, providing stable power for cutting a range of wood materials. The saw delivers a maximum cutting depth of 9.3 cm at a 90º blade angle and is built on a base plate measuring 62 cm by 61 cm. With an overall width of 984 mm, this model offers a stable footprint for accurate crosscuts and rip cuts while maintaining a compact profile for shop benches.

Advantages

The combination of a high-torque 1500 W motor and a 4300 RPM idle speed ensures consistent cutting performance across various wood densities. The substantial base plate dimensions improve material support and reduce vibration during operation, contributing to improved cut quality. A measured sound pressure level of 89 dB provides a known noise profile for planning hearing protection and workshop layout. The 9.3 cm maximum cutting depth at 90º allows for handling thicker stock, while the overall construction provides a balance between portability and stable working surface.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting and ripping of dimensional lumber and boards
• Workshop joinery and furniture component preparation
• Trim and finishing work where consistent blade speed is required
• Small to medium production runs in a professional or hobbyist shop

How to use

Place the table saw on a stable, level work surface and secure it according to the workshop best practices. Fit an appropriate blade for the material and desired cut profile, ensure the blade guard and riving knife are correctly installed, and set the blade height and fence alignment to the required dimensions. When cutting, feed the workpiece steadily against the fence or miter gauge, keeping hands clear of the blade path and using push sticks for narrow stock. Allow the motor to reach operating speed before initiating a cut and avoid forcing the material through the blade to maintain blade life and cut accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection, and dust extraction. For accurate results, periodically check and calibrate fence alignment and blade trueness. Match blade type and tooth count to the wood species and cut type: use higher tooth-count blades for fine finishing and lower tooth-count blades for faster rip cuts. Maintain the tool according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and replace blades and consumables as they wear.
