The Einhell benchtop circular saw is the stationary counterpart to the handheld circular saw, and like its portable sibling, it's an essential machine in any woodworking workshop. While the bench saw and the handheld saw share the same nature and purpose, one does not replace the other—both are invaluable. The main difference is that with a handheld saw, you bring the tool to the cut; with a bench saw, the workpiece is guided to the blade across a stable table. The blade protrudes from the table as needed, cutting square (at 90°) or at any angle between 90° and 45°.

This difference is significant. First, you can cut even small pieces that are unmanageable with a handheld saw. Second, because the workpiece rests on a flat surface, you can use side guides—either a parallel guide or an adjustable angle guide—opening up countless woodworking possibilities. With a fixed blade and a solid work surface, you achieve maximum cutting precision, even for rabbets, half-lap joints, and tenons. The bench saw is designed for comfortable, efficient work; adjustments are quick thanks to knobs that control blade tilt and height, and they are easy to make with maximum precision since the effect of each adjustment is immediately visible. In this guide, we examine the Einhell TC-TS 2025/1 U benchtop circular saw, which offers an excellent performance-to-price ratio.
Three Different Ways to Crosscut
Using the crosscut fence, you can make precise crosscuts, miter cuts, and bevel cuts. For even more versatility, consider upgrading your workshop with a home improvement setup that includes sturdy workbenches and storage solutions. The saw's sliding carriage allows for smooth, accurate cuts, while the adjustable stop lets you repeat cuts with ease.
First-Time Assembly
When you unbox the machine, you'll find it requires one-time assembly. The process is straightforward: attach the legs, mount the table extensions, and install the blade guard. For a comfortable workspace, pair your new saw with desks and work surfaces from our collection. The saw's lightweight design (just 22 kg) makes it easy to move around your shop or garage.
Before You Start Working
Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Ensure the blade is sharp and properly tensioned. Check that the riving knife is aligned with the blade. For clean, dust-free operation, connect a shop vacuum to the dust port. Organize your materials with bookcases and shelving units to keep your workspace tidy.
Adjusting Blade Height and Angle
The blade height should be set so that it protrudes about 1/8 inch above the workpiece. For bevel cuts, loosen the tilt lock and adjust the blade angle using the scale. This saw cuts from 90° down to 45°. For precise angle measurements, a home improvement digital protractor can be a helpful addition to your toolkit.
Using the Parallel Guide
The parallel guide allows you to rip boards to exact widths. Lock it in place with the front and rear clamps, and measure from the blade to the guide fence. For long rips, use the included push stick to keep your hands safe. Store your push sticks and other accessories in storage benches for easy access.
Making Miter Cuts
For angled crosscuts, set the miter gauge to the desired angle. The gauge has positive stops at common angles (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°). Slide the workpiece along the gauge and through the blade. For complex projects, consider adding a dining table or other large work surface to your shop for layout and assembly.
FAQ
What is the maximum cutting depth of the Einhell TC-TS 2025/1 U?
At 90°, the maximum cutting depth is 65 mm. At 45°, it is 42 mm.
Can I use this saw for non-wood materials?
Yes, with the appropriate blade. The saw can cut soft metals, plastics, and laminates. Always use a blade rated for the material you are cutting.
Does the saw come with a blade?
Yes, it includes a 200 mm diameter TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) blade with 24 teeth, suitable for general woodworking.
How do I change the blade?
Unplug the saw. Use the blade wrench to loosen the arbor nut. Remove the outer flange and old blade. Install the new blade with teeth pointing downward toward the table. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
What is the saw's power consumption?
The motor is rated at 1500 W input power, providing ample torque for most DIY and professional tasks.
Tips for Accurate Cuts
- Always measure twice, cut once. Use a home improvement measuring tape for accuracy.
- Keep the saw table clean and waxed for smooth workpiece movement.
- Use a zero-clearance insert for tear-free cuts on plywood and veneers.
- For repetitive cuts, set up a stop block on the fence.
- Let the blade reach full speed before starting the cut.
