What is a dovetail table saw? How is it different from other table saws?

Created by Gabriel Izzo, Modified on Tue, 28 Jun 2022 at 01:40 AM by Gabriel Izzo

A dovetail table saw is part of the trunnion design that controls the elevation of the blade. The “dovetail” of the trunnion assembly helps keep the blade inline when raising/lower, whereas there is a slight pivot movement seen in normal trunnion design. The advantage of a trunnion design is accuracy, smoothness and less vibration.
