Record Power TS250C-PKA Cabinet saw

Record Power · Joinery Workshop
A compact cast-iron cabinet saw for smaller workshops that need reliable, accurate ripping and crosscutting every day without the footprint of a full sliding panel saw.

Typically chosen by

  • Small joinery and cabinet-making workshops needing a dependable rip saw without committing to a large sliding panel saw
  • Workshops upgrading from a bench-top or contractor saw who want cast-iron stability and a proper fence system
  • Makers and sole traders who need accurate daily ripping up to 600mm width and don't require a full-length sliding table
Before you commit

See it run on your own material

Bring us a sample profile or board and we'll run it through the machine at our Newark showroom. You'll see the output quality firsthand and we can talk through how it fits your workflow - before any decisions are made.

Key specification considerations

Max Rip Width
600 mm (blade to fence)
Covers a full sheet-width rip in a single pass for standard boards, though full sheet panel processing would require a sliding panel saw.
Blade Diameter
250 mm (10")
Max Cutting Depth
80 mm at 90° / 56 mm at 45°
Motor Power
1.5 kW (2 hp) — 230 V / 50 Hz single-phase
Single-phase 230 V supply with a full load current of 9.1 A — a standard 13 A socket circuit is sufficient, but confirm your spur is adequately rated before installation.
SpecificationValueNotes
Motor Power
1.5 kW (2 hp) — 230 V / 50 Hz single-phase
Single-phase 230 V with a full load current of 9.1 A — confirm your spur circuit is adequately rated before installation.
Blade Diameter
250 mm (10")
Max Cutting Depth
80 mm at 90° / 56 mm at 45°
Blade Bore
30 mm
Ensure any replacement or upgrade blades are specified with a 30 mm bore — this is a common European standard but worth confirming when sourcing tooling.
Blade Speed
4000 RPM
Max Width (Blade to Fence)
600 mm
Table Height
890 mm
Overall Dimensions (L x W x H)
675 x 625 x 900 mm (excl. sliding beam)
Allow additional clearance around all sides for feed support, operator movement, and extraction routing — a working envelope of at least 3 m x 3 m is advisable.
Weight
110 kg
Extraction Ports
30 mm upper / 100 mm lower
Two separate extraction points require either a twin-port extractor or a manifold — confirm your extraction setup can serve both ports simultaneously.
Frame
Welded steel cabinet with cast iron table
Cast iron gives a flat, stable reference surface that resists vibration — an advantage for consistent cut quality over time compared to aluminium-topped machines.
Sliding Beam Stroke
610 mm
Sufficient for crosscutting most solid timber sections, but not a full sliding table — wide panel crosscutting would require a dedicated panel saw.
Fence
Heavy-duty cast mount with micro-adjustment
Micro-adjustment allows fine-tuning of the fence position without re-clamping, which matters for production runs where repeated cuts to the same dimension are needed.
Rise & Tilt
Rack and pinion with separate handles
Separate handles for rise and tilt mean the two adjustments don't interfere with each other, reducing the chance of unintended movement when setting up a bevel cut.
Construction
Cast iron saw unit with machined trunnions
Machined trunnions maintain alignment between the blade and table more reliably than pressed-steel alternatives, particularly after repeated tilt adjustments.
Includes
Mitre fence
Noise Level
Not published by manufacturer
A verified noise figure is not available in the published specification — talk to us if this is a requirement for your workshop risk assessment and we will follow up with the manufacturer directly.
Electrical Supply
230 V / 50 Hz, single-phase — 9.1 A full load current
Single-phase supply means no three-phase installation is needed — standard workshop wiring is compatible, but the spur should be confirmed as adequately rated at 9.1 A continuous draw.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Record Power TS250C-PKA Cabinet saw if...

  • Your workshop primarily rips and crosscuts solid timber or smaller boards and doesn't need to process full 2440 x 1220 mm sheet material
  • You need a cast-iron, cabinet-format saw and have a compact workshop footprint — the TS250C-PKA sits well under 1.5 m in any direction before infeed clearance
  • Your budget doesn't stretch to a full sliding panel saw but you need better accuracy and stability than a contractor or bench-top saw can offer
  • You are running primarily single-operator work and volume throughput is a secondary consideration to accuracy and setup repeatability

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You need to process full sheet panels (2440 mm) — the Casolin Astra SE400 NT or Robland NXZ would be more appropriate, with a proper sliding table and scoring unit
  • Your throughput is higher and you need a more production-oriented machine — the Robland Z500 M or Robland FZ3100 offer longer sliding tables and greater capacity for workshop volume
  • You require a scoring blade for clean cuts on melamine or veneered board — the Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic R/F and scoring is specifically configured for this
  • Your business is growing and you anticipate needing a longer sliding table within 12–18 months — it may be worth specifying a panel saw from the outset rather than upgrading later
