Maximum rip capacity refers to the widest cut you can make between the blade and the fence, which is crucial for cutting larger panels or sheet goods. A larger rip capacity, such as 25-1/2", allows you to handle full-sized plywood or wide boards, making your saw more versatile for cabinetry and furniture work. The SawStop Compact Table Saw CTS-120A60 offers a generous 25-1/2" rip capacity, which is impressive for a compact saw and lets you tackle big projects with ease. Having a range of rip capacities available in this category allows you to choose the right saw for your typical workpiece sizes and workspace.
