[QUOTE="joeldirt, post: 1850440, member: 558163"] I own a craftsman table saw... The 600 dollar model... I use it for dadoes now, and the powermatic is the primary table saw... But before the powermatic, I used the craftsman to build allot of stuff... Solid cast iron table top rip capacity of 25 inches and a 3/4 stand... aproximately 350 lbs. The thing is perfect for what he is doing and well worth the investment... The cheaper craftsman stuff is cheap... But is better qualituy cheap then any other cheap crap out there trust me... They offer a waranty too which is an added benefit over other tools... But other good models that are also decently priced, are Delta, Grizley, Dewaldt, and Bosch. I always keep a sharp blade, and change out from my cross cut tripple chip, to my Freud Diablo Rip blade for when I am ripping hardwood... The best blade to use for cutting MDF with the cleanest cuts, is a fine cross cutting blade like a tripple chip. Expect to pay about 60 bucks for a good 10" blade... You can spend as little as 10 bucks on a blade... It won't last long, and the investment on the more expensive blade will pay for its self over time... Trust me. I never let the motor bog down and I never stop the piece in the middle of a cut... Once the piece enters the wood it goes through smoothly... I always keep my fences calibrated, yet they rarely ever find their way out of adjustment. [/QUOTE]
