Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It was long-long search for table saw that is sort of compromise. I have spent about one year and read more than 200 pages of reviews on different hybrid and cabinet table saws; returned two table saws; spoke to many company representatives, tried 5 table saws and finally selected this saw.
Well. I will claim that this is a best table saw for non-professionals. Here is why:
1.It is tuned by a factory to perfection: blade totally parallel to miter tracks, zero arbor run-out (about 0.001" run-out with ridge carbide blade); totally flat surface; perfectly calibrated blade for 90 and 45 degree
2.It is lightweight and no vibration. Yes, it is light weight and beautifully balanced to have no vibration. I really believe that well balanced light weight saw is superior to bulky low-tech heavy saw.
3.It is very quite. No zing during cutting.
4.They somehow made a motor that is listed as 1-3/4Hp but cuts like 3 Hp (I run table saw on 220V). I just slide 8/4 hard maple through blade (1/8"-thick blade!) with speed 8 ft for about 22 sec.
5.Fence the best there is. Easy to adjust. As sturdy as Bessy, glides along rails like on ice and have grooves on the top for jigs.
6.Guard (my one is a Shark Guard made by Lee Styron) is easy to remove/install.
7.Price $650. Yes, this was price in March for 30" rail version with cast iron wings.
Cons? Yes, there is one con: very annoying "dust collection hood" with screws. I have a door with hinges now.
Runners up to this saw are Powermatic 2000 and Steel City Hybrid.
Worse table saw tried are Delta and Grizzly hybrids.
