please keep us posted as you use it. A performance review will be interesting.

-- making sawdust....

Looks like a keeper! And I thought I had a large cutoff bin. ;)

I was sooo happy to get rid of this saw. The extension wings and fence are very sloppy!
I just got a Jet saw used on CL and so far I LOVE IT!

This craftsman saw is not worth it: IMO…

I had this tablesaw and was happy to see it go. I really liked it at first, but as time went on, and my skills grew, I out grew it’s features. Personally, for me, the arbor was too short, and the miter slots were handicapped by some inconveniently placed groove holders.

I’m sure if weren’t doing dados and were never going to use a table saw sled of any type, and you got a descent blade, you would have very little problems. But, to me it’s just those one or two things that make the saw an overall poor investement.

I replaced it with a Delta Contractor’s Left Tilt 36-979 and it is wwwwaaaaaaaaaayyy better. There is actually no comparison.

-- So, how wood jya like that?

That was a pretty nice gift. I’m sure it’ll be a huge step up from your old Ryobi. I had a $79 bench top Menards brand (Tool Shop I think the brand is) so I’ve seen a crappy saw before. Don’t let the comments of a couple new jocks rain on your parade. Go cut some wood and make your wife something nice to thank her for the gift!
