I waited a long time to invest in a table saw. I spent years starting projects and getting tired half way through because I didn’t have the time or tools for the projects I wanted to try. If only I had invested in this earlier. I got this saw and finished a bunch of shop projects in the first few weeks (I attached a few pictures for reference). I’m not great, but this saw has helped me get SO much better and allowed me to be so much more creative. I use this saw at least once a week both for practical and creative projects.Not only is it an absolute powerhouse, but it’s really level and the mechanism for moving the fence ensures it is always nice and square. This is the perfect table saw for anyone getting into woodworking or who just needs it for general projects around the house. It is my favorite addition to my shop and has made so many more projects realizable for me.

Firstly - Should have bought it years ago. I've been using a cast iron Craftsman 10" for years, but the belt drive was getting iffy. Plus, moving it around the garage was half the time spent instead of cutting. This is the cure! Get ready for an in-depth (unpacking) review...Secondly - The cons: My only real gripes; are that the start button needs better access - it would be nice to have a "click feel" when adjusting the different positions of the slide bevel push handle (Hitachi makes a very nice one) - and the tabletop is obviously smaller than my 10" Craftsman saw. I'll have to make a surface extension as it's not going to be fully portable.I sell these at my place of work, but for $20 more. I wanted to see if the online version was just as well built and with the same features as ours. I was right, they are the same. Very well-built, and solid with no shakes or rattles. I'll include pictures for your viewing pleasure and informational needs. I put a 48" straight edge on the table with the fence extended, using the measurement bar on the saw as a reference: spot on for blade/fence span.From the edge of the table shown in the spanned setting with the tape measure, 35" overall in case you wonder about support width. With a true 24-1/2" from blade to inside edge of fence fully extended. Picture 9 - The fence (flip-down support), is a very nice touch to help keep whatever it is you are running through in a full rip-level with the table surface.The blade guard shown in picture 3 - ours at work doesn't have this feature as it must be an older version. But this one; the guard you can lock in the upright position for a little more clarity if you need it. Nice oversized stop button that you can hit in a hurry; or if you are wearing gloves - you don't need to use just a finger to turn it off. The start button, to me, could be a little more accessible, or stick out farther. A minor detail. The blade spin with nothing loaded on it, stops in about 2 seconds from full spin. A
