In this episode of Rig Rundown, Jake takes us through Sherwood's 12-inch Hybrid Cabinet Saw. 'What is a hybrid cabinet table saw' you ask? Well, Jake takes us through that little journey as well. Check it out!
Sherwood's 12inch Hybrid Bench Saw is of the most versatile, practical saws on the market.Hybrid saws are genius when they're done correctly, but so many on the market fall to the typical woodworking pitfalls: trying to be too much and ending up too little. This hybrid saw sticks to its guns and delivers every time.
As with typical hybrid saws, the saw carriage is mounted to the underside of the table like a contractor's saw, however this saw has an enhanced mounting mechanism that reduces vibration and improving cutting performance over many contractor or hybrid saws. The carriage is cast-iron with a smooth, effective blade bevel and height adjustment system making it easy to adjust.A good saw and a pleasure to operate - this may be hard to believe given the low cost, so we strongly encourage you to come and test it out at our stores, call us to talk to our experts or simply try it for yourself. We couldn't be more confident that you'll love it.

Why a Hybrid Saw?
The Hybrid saw’s features are a blend of contractor and cabinet saws, as they’re designed to fill the gap between these two models. Despite this, they’re still not comparable to cabinet saws in power or accuracy - hybrids are essentially a contractor’s saw, mounted to the table-top, but with a cabinet stand.It’s true that most hybrids have a better fence, cast-iron rather than pressed-metal wings and the cabinet base is fairly rigid. This added weight then offers more precision, but it's nowhere near as effective as an actual cabinet saw.In layman’s terms, these are upgraded contractor’s saws with a fancy name. But if you’re feeling ambitious, at a similar price to contractor’s saws, they still offer good value for money and with a five year warranty, you can't go wrong.
