Choosing The Right Flip Over Saw Accessories

Compatibility: Ensure any accessory is compatible with your specific flip over saw model. DeWalt accessories are designed exclusively for DeWalt flip over saws with precise fitting mechanisms and mounting points. Always verify model compatibility before purchasing.

Work requirements: Consider the types of cuts you make most frequently. If you regularly work with sheet materials or longer timber lengths, extension tables and material supports become essential for safe, accurate cutting. For precision ripping work, a quality parallel fence is indispensable.

Portability needs: For site work across multiple locations, consider how easily accessories can be transported, fitted and removed. Balance portability requirements against the need for stability and precision in your typical working environment.

Build quality: Professional-grade accessories from MyToolShed feature robust construction with accurate machining and durable finishes. Cast aluminium components, precision-ground surfaces and quality locking mechanisms ensure longevity and maintain accuracy over thousands of cuts.

Safety Information

Always wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust masks when operating flip over saws. Ensure all accessories are correctly fitted and securely locked before use – loose or incorrectly fitted components can cause dangerous kickback. Never cut unsupported material; use appropriate extension tables and supports for longer workpieces to prevent tipping. Ensure your equipment is properly connected to a suitable 240v supply with appropriate circuit protection, and RCD protection is strongly recommended on construction sites. Keep all accessories clean and free from sawdust buildup, and regularly check locking mechanisms for wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are flip over saw accessories universal or brand-specific?

Flip over saw accessories are generally brand and model-specific. Mounting points, dimensions and fitting mechanisms vary between manufacturers and even between different models from the same brand. DeWalt accessories available at MyToolShed.co.uk are designed specifically for DeWalt flip over saws and may not fit other brands. Always check compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.

Can I use my flip over saw without a ripping fence?

Using a flip over saw in table saw mode without a proper ripping fence is dangerous and will produce inaccurate cuts. The parallel fence is essential for guiding the workpiece safely past the blade and maintaining consistent cut width. Never attempt to rip materials freehand or with improvised guides, as this significantly increases the risk of kickback and injury.

How do material supports improve cutting accuracy?

Material supports maintain the workpiece at the correct height relative to the saw table, preventing sagging or tipping during the cut. When material droops or tips, it changes the cutting angle and can cause binding against the blade. Properly positioned supports ensure the material remains level throughout the cutting process, resulting in square, accurate cuts and reduced blade stress.
