Bosch. Whether they should or not, most contractors don't use blade guards for their table saw, which means a higher risk of injury. The 4100DG-09 10-inch portable table saw tackles this problem. Its Smart Guard system is modular and tool-free, so it's easier to remove and re-install a component. The see-through plastic blade guard's two-part split design allows each side to be raised independently. The saw also includes a digital readout rip fence, which allows for faster setup and greater precision, the company says. Cost: $679 (saw and Gravity Rise stand). 877-267-2499. More

Freud America. Sometimes "general purpose" means doing many things, none of them very well. The Premier Fusion general-purpose saw blade, however, has been designed to cover the gamut from crosscuts and rips in hardwoods and softwoods to cuts in two-sided veneer and laminates. Not having to change blades "saves huge amounts of time," a judge noted. A double-grind tooth design helps the carbide blade cut smoothly so vibration is dampened. The nonstick coating prevents corrosion and gumming. The series features four sizes: 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-inch. Cost: $99. 800-334-4107. More
