Topic tags/keywords: masterforce table saw menards

I am interested in an upgrade/replacement to my current Craftsman 10 in. Table Saw . I’m not satisfied with it and still can return of the a refund.

Has anyone every used or heard of the MasterForce 10” Jobsite Table Saw with Folding Stand, model # 240-0034? It sells at Menards for $399.

The MasterForce has a folding stand with wheels which is important because I have small garage and I need a table saw that I can store easily.

More important is the fact the the miter slots are the standard 3/4×3/8. In fact, this is the lowest priced table saw with a portable stand that I’ve seen with standard miter slots.

I examined the display model in the store and it seems to be solidly built and comparable to other table saws in this price range. It also seems to be similar to the Makita table saw I looked at. Hmm…

It’s true that you get what you pay for but, it is also true that sometime you pay extra for a brand name.

What are your thoughts? Any experiences with this or other MasterForce Tools.

Don’t buy a Masterfoce tools, they are junk I bought several things that are Masterfoce and I always end up taking them back. They tell you they have such a great 5 year warranty but the stupid things brake down every couple of months. I bought a saw there and a few months later I went to exchange it and they told me that they had discontinued that model and If I wanted it to exchange I had to pay the price difference. I ended up getting a Bosch. The same thing happen with the drills the Hammer drill lasted me at the most 3 months before I had to exchange it. For some reason they discontinue the models fairly quick. Masterforce is junk.

Thanks for the advice.

I decided not to get the MasterForce and am now trying to decide between the Bosch 4000-09 and the Ridgit TS2400LS.

Once I buy I’ll be sure to give any update

Me, too. Enjoy!

Incidentally, I just put an Incra 1000SE, the left-side extension, and an outfeed extension on mine. Have only played with the combo, so far, but … so far, so good.

I was thinking about getting the left-side and outfeed extensions. Let me know how you like them.

Also, I ordered the zero-clearance and dado inserts and the dust collection bag from Amazon.com for $34.

I contemplated that saw but bought the Bosch 4100-09 also….. but I wouldn’t say that all Masterforce tools are junk, thier levels are made by Stabila, and they don’t get any better than that!

You made a wise choice in the Bosch 4100-09. My personal experience with MasterForce power tools echoes what others have said.
