A good saw for the money. Here’s a quick look t the good and bad from @sal_the_carpenter
While I got it working, the fence was out of parallel to the blade out of the box. The composite guide rails under the fence don’t seem as robust as some guys are rough on the jobsite. Read the original article.
The cross-cut-guide and push-stick storage are typical. The push stick is easy to reach.
The fence adjusts via twisting the two black machine screws by the rail.
I have a small shop and a compact table saw is a must for my ripping, rabbeting, and other table-saw work.
Aside from the fence, the saw was easy to assemble. Not shown: The included stand. And while I’ll give this saw some heat, it is overall a good saw for the money.
Compact is critical for me and this saw fits the bill. And, I should add, at no reduction in power.
The guard, riving knife, and pawls all work. Because of how I like my blade—just above the work—I can’t use the guard on most of my cuts because they intersect with the work. Not a demerit. Just an observation.
The pointer didn’t want to point. It was finicky to adjust and keep locked in one place.
The blade was typical for an included blade. It was fine for rough stuff, but I swapped it out for a higher-quality cutter for finish work.
Tabs—“feet” I guess you could call them when the saw stands on edge—protect the table while the saw is stored vertically in the shop or in transit.
It has a nice, oversized switch and excellent bevel adjustment.
