Work SMARTer, Not Harder

The General Automated Table Saw offers a level of robotic precision and convenience previously unseen on lower-priced cabinet-style table saws. It features a SMART digital keypad that sits on the front of the fence. Here, you can punch in your desired blade depth and angle. The table saw does the rest, adjusting itself to your settings.

The General SMART saw also features an automated fence which you can also adjust via the SMART keypad. After zeroing out the fence, you can plug any cut dimension into the system and let the saw create the precise rip cut.

The SMART fence on the General Automated Table Saw is particularly helpful with repetitive cuts. By touching the button, the fence adjusts to exactly where you need it.

Thought General closed years ago, who knew. Looks like they are going to offer this fence as a retro fit soon also.
