NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Don't do it! STOP STOP STOP! We once had a Cfraftsman direct cable drive table saw and I was forever adjusting the POS...not to mention trashing perfectly fine wood, too. We just got a nice (and I'm recommending this, too) Dewalt floor table saw. It's a relatively new product, but does it got the features, and all for 2/3 the cost of a comparable Jet and maybe half the cosy of a a Delta Unisaw. I'm most sincere on this, do NOT buy the POS Craftsman...you'll thank me in the end...

: In the Shopsmith thread a couple days ago, a few people suggested that a good
: table saw is the core of their workshop. The motor on this one seems
: powerful enough, and I'd have to set up infeed and outfeed supports
: regardless, but I'm a little worried that a saw this cheap might not
: qualify as a good table saw.

: Has anyone had good, bad, or indifferent experience with Craftsman table
: saws? How about the new Ryobi 3000??
