About this deal

Brand new released excel table saw. I cannot stress how good the value of this saw for a rack and pinion table saw. Cannot comment on how the quality is but I have owned the previous model and I thought that was a bargain.

Features:

Powerful 1800W motor with overload protection
Compact and lightweight design portable and easy to use
Precise cutting to meet multi angle needs
Rack & pinion telescoping rip fence with measuring guide rail
Push stick used for pushing a workpiece through the blade in any rip cut
Maximum cutting height 80mm at 90° & 58mm at 45° with the saw blade that can tilt 0°-45°
On board storage conveniently store guard, fence, wrenches and miter gauge
60mm standard dust port easily connects to a dust collector for preventing dust from splashing
Ideal for making rip cut, miter cut and cross cut

Looks like the first review is up of this and while its a amatuer review it foes look to have a solid fence.
This also has a soft start and metal inset plate which i dont see mentioned and can be purchased on ebay from the same seller with £9.45 off:

I think its a risk buying without more reviews but with the new evolutions just going live and starting at £400, the rutland being just under £300 it looks like this at £180 might be the new rage 5 being the cheap table saw with comparable quality of something twice the price. I am waiting to see what price the skil table saw comes to this country, hopefully wont be long as some uk youtubers have been sent one to review already.

You would normally add a router as part of an extension table to the right of this saw, and would therefore be constructing a permanent fixture in the style of a cabinet saw.
The router would need to wind down beneath table height, allowing you to make use of the table width to cut large sheet timber with the table saw.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube giving examples of how to construct the above.

10% code expired now unfortunately! But 5% code works.

Don't know much about woodwork, although I did a few diy things. Can I fit an router underneath this?
2nd Apr
You could make a table yourself and fit router in the open space where the fence slides off to. This way you would also increase working area and could get a use of the fence, but probably would need to make an additional fence to attach to this existing fence, with vacuum connection, as routers makes a lot of dust.

What would be the best possible blade to buy for this to be used solely for Melamine faced chipboard?
2nd Apr
A high tooth count blade, something above 40 for sure.
But, try the stock blade first - a tip often quoted… raise blade a few mm first, to get a clean cut on melamine, then raise for full cut (you will likely need to remove blade guard for this)

I waited for the last model to come back for months so eventually caved and bought a Rage 5S and then the next month Rutlands brought out a rack and pinion fence for the same price and then this comes out a couple months later

If the fence is anywhere as good as the DeWalt then that's a bargain! (edited)

Yeah, not the same puppy on Amazon, that saw has a cheap pressed steel table, no rack and pinion etc.

The saw in this deal is now appearing in various guises, very similar to the Rutland R1618 and also the soon to be released Evolution R255 of which one of the 4 variants is up on YouTube with a few reviews.

This Excel one is likely the cheapest of them, but I have concerns about the locking mechanism on the fence. Whereas both the Rutland and the new Evolution appear to share the same fence, the Evolution will also have the sliding mitre sled, like the Rage 5S. (edited)

Been on the lookout for a table saw upgrade. Bought the cordless Ryobi HP brushless table saw and while it's a good little portable saw, the fence is not the best. If a good deal for the Dewalt came up, that would be a good step up but the new ones, with rack-and-pinion fences, from Evolution and Rutlands, and now Excel are certainly worth consideration. In no rush as I can get by with the Ryobi, for now, so going to see more reviews of the new saws before pulling the trigger on a new one.

Could I make my own doors with this?

I don't think you should go anywhere near a table saw 😁
