“The new table saw is a great buy with great options. ”
JohnTrammell
Grand Prairie, TX
I just bought this table saw two weeks ago and it has been wonderful to use. I had to spend very little time fine tuning the factory settings, and the blade that comes with it is of good quality. The fence is solid and the granite top is great, though I dropped a wrench on it during assembly and put...

After a year or more of trying to decide what table saw to buy, I decided on the craftsman 22114, one step below the 22124. I purchased it online to get 20% off. The next day I stopped in to the local Sears where I would be picking it up, just to find out roughly what size crate I would be dealing with...

The industry called the Craftsman 22124 a "Hybrid"...a cross between the very common light duty contractor saws vs the heft, power and stability of the full cabinet saws. Make no mistake, this saw is MUCH closer to it's big brothers than to a contractor saw. It shared all the positives of the big cabinet saws, except the extra muscle (1.75hp) and higher prices!
I’ve been WW for 35 years and decided to step up to the stalwarts of the saw industry. After carefully researching features-performances-prices of the other hybrids on the market and reading the many positive reviews of this saw, I...
read full review »My purchase of the Craftsman 22124 was the best decision I have ever made. I bought the saw over a year ago and this is an incredible saw! Coupled with the Leitz blade and beisemeyer fence, this saw rocks! I've used this to cut mahagony, walnut, hard maple, maple plywood and oak with no problems. The blade with aligned perfectly to the table and fence aligned perfectly to the blade right out of the crate. The saw was shipped in a steel crate and packed carefully. The fence was also packed carefully and without a scratch. I love this saw, it is the centerpiece of my shop. The only downsides...

This is a great saw. The assembly manual says to use two people to lift and assemble the saw (425 lbs.) I had no help available so I used a portable shop hoist to unload and move the saw. It took me about a half day to assemble and adjust the saw but once I made all the adjustments, it is dead on accurate. I found no problems with any hardware or parts. Everything went together as advertised and the instructions were easy to follow
Finally, after 10 years of using a $200 Craftsman saw for furniture, and borrowing friends' saws every now and again, I decided it was time to get a decent saw. Overall, this saw is great, although the factory assembly leaves a lot to be desired and there are a few other minor issues.
Pros:
-Very powerful for a relatively low HP saw. It cannot compete with the 3+ HP monsters, but it does 1" thick oak fairly well, and 3/4" oak very well.
-Quiet, one of the quietest saws I've used.
-The fence is just about perfect.
-Low vibration.
-Easy to align (at least mine was, but some reviewers seem to have...

I have had this saw going on 5 years. I own a large cabinet shop in Charleston SC and have been using the saw for production the whole time I have owned it. Saw is a bit weak ripping hardwoods but works well on sheet goods. Also have Jet cabinet saw which is far more powerful but lacks the ease of use that comes with the Biesemeyer fence. Overall love the saw if it was 3hp would be awesome. The saw will take the abuse, My saw has probably cut somewhere in the range of 50,000 sheets of 3/4 maple plywood and hundreds of thousands of feet of maple lumber. I really cant complain. Thinking of upgrading...

I have used this table saw for 2 years and it has been a joy over my cheap contractor style saw. It has the power to plow through any wood at a decent rate and is built well with a very good fit and finish. The fence is the best made and was easy to adjust to the blade. The miter gauge is OK, but could be approved on due to the odd additions that come with it. Overall this saw is well worth the name Craftsman Professional and I have built some fine furniture projects with it. When I got it home the cast iron extensions bolt holes were drilled wrong. Sears customer service passed me onto an expert...

I purchased this saw in September 2008, but decided to wait on writing my review until I had a few hours on it. So far I have been very happy with my purchase. Set up took me a little longer than most, but I wanted to make sure it was set up 100%. Cutting with the saw has made a huge differnce in my projects. This is also the first saw that I have left the guard on, it works terrific. No binding after beveling the blade. One thing I need to get is a good dust collector. Currently I am using a shop vac and adapters, but the vac doesn't clean out the cabinet much. I bought mine on sale during club...

I just recently bought one after a lot of reseach on the web & in many magazines such as Consumer Reports & the like with info. on many table saws. I'm just a hobbyist but I like using dependable tools. It took about 3hrs. to set up but it gave me time to review all the info about my new saw. Most of my tools are Craftsman but I have others but this one is like owning a cadillac. I reccomend this saw to any contractor. Its very quite, smooth, & the fence is great. The accuracy of the motor set up to the table top was excellent. The only draw back I see is the bolts & nuts that come with are reg....

Great saw, only problem is cutting hard woods. Must go slow to cut Red Oak 3/4 inches thick. Could use more power.
BOught this saw and set it up. Checked the alignment of the blade with a machinist square and there was not enough adjustment in the mounts to allow the blade to align to zero degrees so instead of lugging the 400 lb saw back to the store I had to drill out the mounts of the motor to allow enough movement. Got that done, then tried to install the adjustable feet, well what a problem, the adjustable feet threads were differrent than the threads tapped into the bottom of the saw, busted one off and had to drill it out and thread to a larger size and buy new mounts. Sears was of no help in this regard....

I used to work in a professional shop and after I was laid off and still wanted to do some work with a saw, I researched everything and really wanted the Biesemeyer fence. This saw is worth every penny (and I got mine on sale for a great deal!!) We had the same fence system, only bigger, in the shop so I knew that was good, but the saw it self is so nice and professional and I would say the best part is when you lower and raise the blade, it self adjusts the tension and you just keep cutting. It is HEAVY too, so be prepared, but I put mine on wheels and it rolls around great! The only saw I could...

After 6 months of reading and trying different saws, and many weekend discussions with my brother in law of whom is a manager in a high end cabinet shop... I "still went Craftsman!" There are many other saws out there, and you can pay a ton more... Buy this saw on sale or at full price and you won't be disappointed! Some other reviews have mentioned the table being "off" by .005 on the table top and wings etc... First, this isn't a $3,000 cabinet saw ...it was 1/3 of that at full price! It has the best fence on the market, and comes with a great blade! I was patient and directly after assembly...

The Craftsman 22124 saw has many useful features I wanted: regular 110 volt operation, fully enclosed cabinet for effective sawdust removal, out feed table, quick release guard-splitter assembly, miter gauge clamp-crosscut fence, large cabinet door, wide 18" rip left of blade, Leitz 40T blade, weight close to the 3hp cabinet saws, excellent T-square Fence system, small cabinet footprint, and HD-Cabinet Mounted Trunnions. The industry calls it a "Hybrid"...a cross between the very common light duty contractor saws vs the heft, power and stability of the full size cabinet saws. Make no mistake, this...
