Scheppach HS105 review

A full-size blade, a stand and a 640 × 920 mm table for the price of a compact site saw — the most machine per euro on this page, with the compromises that implies.

The bottom line The most capable saw here per euro, provided you never need to carry it.

Hands-on testing pending. Nothing below is presented as our own measurement. Every figure is a manufacturer specification, read off the listing itself, and the judgements are ours — drawn from how the specification behaves in this class of machine and from what long-term owners consistently report. Where a figure is missing, we say so rather than fill it in.

What the specification says

A 255 mm blade at 2 000 W, 75 mm of cut height at 90°, bevel to 45°, and a table that reaches 640 × 920 mm with the extension deployed. It ships on its own stand, with a rip fence and a crosscut gauge.

Why the table size is the headline

Table area is what decides whether a cut is controlled. A workpiece needs to be supported before the blade, at the blade and after it; when it is not, the operator supplies the missing support by hand, and hands near a spinning blade are how accidents happen. Nearly a metre of table with the extension out is a different machine from a compact saw with a 500 mm top, whatever the two cut on paper.

Where the savings are

In the fence, the table material and the finish. That is the honest answer at this price and it is the same answer as for the Einhell above: everything structural is present, and the precision components are the ones asked to be cheap. Budget an afternoon for setup — checking the blade square to the table, the fence parallel to the blade, and the mitre slot parallel to both — and this saw will hold a line. Skip it and it will not.

Availability

Resolves on the German, British, French, Italian and Spanish stores on one reference and one EAN. It is not sold on amazon.com, which is what you would expect from a European machine; a reader in the United States is sent to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

What we could not check

Scheppach publishes no dust capture figure, no table flatness tolerance and no arbor runout. None of its competitors at this price publish them either, which is worth knowing when a rival listing claims precision without a number attached.

What we like, and what we don't

Strengths

  • Comes with its own stand, which is otherwise a separate purchase and an awkward one
  • 640 × 920 mm of table with the extension out — genuinely useful for sheet work
  • 255 mm blade and 75 mm of cut height at 90°

Compromises

  • Not sold on amazon.com — a European machine
  • At this price the fence and the table are where the savings are found
  • No published figure for dust capture, and site saws in this class capture little

Questions people actually ask

Does the included stand actually matter?

More than it looks. A table saw on a workbench is at the wrong height for ripping, and a saw on the floor is unusable. Stands sold separately for this class of machine cost a meaningful fraction of the saw, and the one designed for it is rigid in the direction that matters — along the rip, where a wobble becomes a wandering cut.

How does it compare to a compact site saw at the same money?

More blade, more table, more capacity, and it stays where you put it. Less portable, and generally less refined in the fence and the guard. If the saw is not going anywhere, this is the better use of the same budget.
