The Rockwell BladeRunner X2 Portable Tabletop Saw is the solution to the problem of having to take materials back to the workshop to cut them, and then bring them back to the job site later on. If you're a contractor, you know that that process can add an entire day to a project. The BladeRunner is only 15 lbs, so while stable and sturdy, it's easy to toss in the back of the truck. And with a footprint of only 15.75" x 17", it doesn't take up an entire workbench like traditional table saws. The hold-down guard and splitter allow for work with wider materials, and a larger rip fence than other portable table saws provides better control and accurate cuts. A no-load speed of 3000/min, a stroke length of ¾", with 5.5 amps of power gives it the capacity for light to moderate cutting of wood (up to 1-1/2"), ceramic tile (3/8"), PVC pipe (1-1/4"), aluminum (3/8"), and steel (1/8"). (Anything over 1-1/2" and you're probably going to need a traditional, permanently fixed tabletop saw-but you can't take that to the job site.) The blades change out almost instantly, in under 3 seconds once you get the hang of the tool-less blade change system. And the saw is protected by a Rockwell 3-year limited warranty, so you know they stand behind their tools.
