Wood-Mizer Introduces Versatile MS500 – Circular Table Saw with Panel Saw Features

In response to growing demand in the industry for advanced carpentry tools, Wood-Mizer is expanding its Woodworking line with the highly functional MS500 table saw. A collaboration between Wood-Mizer engineers and experienced carpenters, the MS500 has been developed to match the everyday needs of small and medium woodworking shops to cut various types of MDF wood sheets and solid wood material.

The Wood-Mizer MS500 table saw features an efficient cutting unit shielded in a cast iron body, an undercut blade, and a sliding table built on guide rollers. It is an alternative for larger panel saws with full-size sliding aluminum tables. The MS500 is ideal for cutting medium-sized boards – maximum cutting dimensions 1300 x 1260 mm. However, using the Wood-Mizer MS750 panel saw is recommended for cutting full-size boards. 

The MS500 is a compact table saw with an easy adjustment of cutting parameters, in which the main blade’s height and angle are controlled by hand wheels featuring gauges for precise adjustments. The exact cutting width and length are displayed on analog indicators with a magnifying glass along the perpendicular guide rollers. Optional electronic readers for ultra-precise measurements up to 0,1 mm are available.  

The MS500 table saw features a quality sliding mechanism for easy parallel and perpendicular positioning of the material on the worktable and efficient cutting. The support table increases stability while working with a demanding material.  

The undercut blade, also known as a “scoring blade”, is a solution designed for full-size panel saws for neat and precise material cutting. To replace the main circular blade or remove the scoring blade, you can unscrew the top cover and open a small magnet plate to quickly access the main blade. The scoring blade height is adjustable and can be conveniently lowered underneath the machine if unnecessary.  

Inside the MS500 is a circular blade with a maximum 400 mm diameter running at either 3500 or 4500 rpm, which can be adjusted manually by switching the drive belt between the pulleys at the spindle. For cutting an MDF board, it is recommended to work at 3500 rpm and use the scoring blade, and for solid wood - at 4500 rpm and without undercutting.   
 
The MS500 table saw is delivered with a factory-adjusted worktable, although there is a possibility to adjust the settings individually. The main blade, driven with a 6 kW motor, and the undercutting blade, with a 0,75 kW motor, are set up in a cast iron cutting unit which can move up for height adjustment or tilt to change the cutting angle (0-45 deg). The cast iron worktable rests on four bolts that allow for precise leveling.   

The cast iron used for the production of the MS500 is sourced exclusively from renowned suppliers. It is forged by European manufacturing companies and allows for stable and durable heavy-duty work while increasing resistance to deformations and vibrations.

The efficient removal of sawdust and woodchips is possible with the main 125 mm-wide outlet located directly at the cutting unit and the additional 100 mm-wide outlet on the blade cover arm. For the best performance of the MS500 table saw, it is recommended to couple it with one of the Wood-Mizer MES dust removal systems.  

For safe and comfortable work, the MS500 table saw has a main blade safety shield with attached wheels for easy material feeding, as well as a lifting mechanism. The safety shield also allows for effective cutting at 45-degree angles.  

The operator panel consists of the main blade switch, the undercut spindle switch, control lights for the motor speed, and the emergency stop button.   
The MS500 table saw has been designed by European engineers and is manufactured entirely from quality materials in European factories. The technical design and advanced production process guarantee a trouble-free operation for many years.    

We recommend choosing a proper cutting blade from the Wood-Mizer TOOLS catalog to effectively and efficiently cut furniture boards, wood boards, or solid wood. We offer a wide range of circular saws and scoring blades that work perfectly with our Woodworking machines to create quality wood.  

The Wood-Mizer MS500 table saw is delivered with a 2-year warranty and comprehensive technical support from Wood-Mizer Customer Service specialists.
