Craftsman Professional 10 in. Table Saw Review
Good saw
"Finally, after 10 years of using a $200 Craftsman saw for furniture, and borrowing friends' saws every now and again, I decided it was time to get a decent saw. Overall, this saw is great, although the factory assembly leaves a lot to be desired and there are a few other minor issues.
Pros:
-Very powerful for a relatively low HP saw. It cannot compete with the 3+ HP monsters, but it does 1" thick oak fairly well, and 3/4" oak very well.
-Quiet, one of the quietest saws I've used.
-The fence is just about perfect.
-Low vibration.
-Easy to align (at least mine was, but some reviewers seem to have found differently).
-The Biesemeyer extension, while cheap wood, can be tossed to give a great place to mount a router table for those of us with space problems.
-Easy to remove blade guard.
Cons:
-The factory assembly was awful, several things, including the blade elevation and tilt mechanisms, were not assembled properly. Looks like someone forgot to tighten all the set screws, the blade elevation didn't even work out of the box. Quality control people!
-No riving knife, but there is a blade guard assembly that does OK for some purposes.
-They include a Biesemeyer fence, it likely would not add much to the cost to put a good miter gauge in as well. The stock one is OK, but not great.
-Tabletop is not perfectly flat, but not off enough to be a problem.
-Slight arbor play.
-Inconvenient locking system for elevation and tilt handles - turning the lock can turn the handle too.
-Outfeed table cannot be adjusted high enough to actually support anything, its about 1/4 inch below the table.
-Arbor not long enough to take a 3/4 inch dado blade."
