picked it up for $179 marked down from $219, $20 off for the sale and another $20 off for being a craftsmen club member //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif. Has a sturdy fence and 30" rip.

and the first project for it, is my box for 4 eu-700s that will be goin into the bug. All went real well until i had to cut the back piece //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif . Back piece ended up kickin back and got a nick in it, but ill fix it and hide it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Like the second i started the cut i got saw dust in my eyes, thanks a lot safety glasses lol, and the next thing i know i took a 13"x12" piece to the gut //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif . Hopefully ill have this done by next weekend.

i never thought to use the scale on it, i only trust using a tape measure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I got lucky though, i could kinda feel it wanting to bind so i let off. It didnt shoot to hard at me lol. Ive seen people get hit a lot harder than myself.

Girlfriend got me a real nice Craftsman table saw for Christmas this year. Rips 24 inches left and 26 inches right, weighs 400lbs. :O

It's great though, first thing you should do is buy a nice blade though. The Craftsman ones aren't so hot. Here's a link to it, haven't snapped any pictures since I put it together this past weekend.

nice saw //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif . I already picked up a 60 tooth blade for it instead of the 36 tooth it came with.

Nice saw, I just got the exact same one for Christmas from my Dad. Still wrapped up in it's box though.

I picked up the exact same saw as well. To me it's more of a toy than a tool. Especially the plastic base.

Try fitting the box it came in into a Ford Contour. Then guess how much fun I had on the drive home sitting in the back seat. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
