Craftsman Professional 10inch Table Saw No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I have always liked Craftsman brand tools..so when it came time to look for a table saw that is where I went. I caught this saw on sale and was able to spread the payments interest free over a year. Sale price was around $950. It lists for around $1100. The only thing I have added to it is a movable base. It is a very solid machine and took four guys to unload it from the trailer. It is a very strong smooth running saw. It came with a Biesemeyer fence system, which is a real gem. Nice heavy very accurate and easy to us. I did upgrade the blade because the blade that came with it didn’t last very long. Safety wise the off switch has a large paddle which i use to shut off machine with my knee so I can keep both hands on the wood.
I would highly recommend this saw to anyone who is looking for something in this price range.

Store specs are as follows:
Fully-enclosed, cabinet-style stand with a 1-3/4 hp, 120/240V internal mount motor. Heavy-duty, cast-iron, base-mounted trunnion system for maximum stability and easy adjustments.

  • Saw comes in 2 separate boxes
  • Cast iron table and 12 in. wide extension wings with 12 in. table board, rear ext. table
  • Biesemeyer commercial, T-square, fence system with 18 in. L/30 in. R capacity
  • 40T Leitz variable-pitch blade reduces vibration
  • Upfront, easy-access push-button switch
  • Dust collection chute with 4 in. port

Good buy Splinters, out of all the Hybrids this is the one I would choose also. The base mounted trunion makes it a clear winner. The saw is made by Orion which makes tools for Steel City.

I have been using this saw for about 4 years now (or something like that) and it has performed nicely! I am more than satisfied with the purchase.

Now you just need to add a RH table extension and an Incra TS-LS fence and you are ready to go!

I’ve had this saw for about three years and I love it. The exact same saw is also branded by Delta and Steel City. I think they are all made by Orion in China. Anway, it came in a crazy heavy metal cage that was neat but was pretty easy to set up. I got mine on sale for about $900 with the Craftsman club card which made it even a better deal. I don’t have much to compare this to as it’s the only table saw I’ve ever owned but I’ve never felt like it’s been underpowered or inaccurate. It sitll exceeds my ability;)

I have had this saw for about a year and am very happy with it. I called technical support a few times and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. The steel cage that it came packed in and some chicken wire made a great support for our cucumbers this summer!
