Great saw for around the house. I have had several table saws thru the years. This saw is portable. It stores easily in my garage, between the cars. I can move it out and be set up to cut in just minutes. I recently put a Dado blade on the arbor and was pleased that there was plenty of power to make the cuts. Unless your a cabinet maker... this is the saw for you. By the way, it cuts true, unlike several other saws that I have owned in the past...

I have used the Crastsman 10" job site saw for about three years now and would not trade it for the world. I have used it to build finished shelfing for houses and offices as well as general jobsite type work and have no complaints. Thanks Sears.

I've owned this saw for two years and put it to frequent use. Although alignment of the fence requires careful attention, the saw has been problem free. A crosscut sled will make up for the inexpensive miter bar, and a quality blade will produce satisfying cuts. It also rolls easily in and out of my garage, which is perhaps its most singular virtue. For the price, this is a heck of a saw for an occasional woodworker with limited space....

The reviewer that is displeased really needs another type of saw. Its primary use is a compact TS w. all the extras on board ,to bring on site and for a lower price(if bought on sale). The Hitachi version for example ,is more expensive and has less features. My main complaint is no Zero clearance TP,no soft start(jumps on start), plastic elevation wheel,lots of slack in the miter bar(Top is not the problem),cheap miter gauge. For best results use a better TK blades, like a Freud and another miter gauge(I use my CM 22124 gauge). The elevation screw is a lead type(metal) and not a plastic mechanism like on the Bosch, which can break and is expensive. Use DryLube not oil to lube or paraffin wax. Wax the top often. The CS by the manuf. is excellent. You can talk to a tech. I would not buy this for a construction crew and expect it to last long, but if you are not abusive is is an OK saw and can rip 24"....

I've owned this saw for about 1 year. I read a review in Wood or some other mag. that rated it above the Rigid and Bosch. I have access, at work, to a $100,000 wood shop and this saw does not compare to the jet table saw saw, but for at home work (buidling frames, an armoire, and other projects) it has always cut true and straight. The fence is very precise and has given cuts exactly to size. I have used a frued dado set on it also with excellent results. I like the retractable cord and storage for push stick and miter guage. I have had problems, now and then, with the mechanism to angle the blade, but they have not been as serious as discussed in the other reviews. I've also had to add boards below with a tool box or other weighted object when cutting large sheets of plywood to keep it from tipping over. Lastly, its not as easy to move once its set up as the wheels only work when its folded up. However, it is compact and fits in a very small space in my garage when not in use.......

DI500 says "Defective engineering design." about Craftsman Professional 10 in. Jobsite Saw

sears-feed — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 14:27:04 GMT

Even though this is a "Professional" Job Site table saw, I've only used it around the house, to do the kind of jobs a handy homeowner my do, like refurbish the guest bathroom or build add-ons to the kitchen cabinets. So it hasn't got a lot of use, especially, not the type of use one would expect for a saw touted for Professional Job Site use. This evening while using it to build a new drawer for our kitchen cabinet, the blade elevation handwheel suddenly started turning freely, without and resistance from the weight of the saw motor. The saw blade would neither go up or down. Close examination of the lift mechanism found the problem. The lift screw for the saw blade passed through a threaded flange on the saw motor, the threads were completely stripped. And the reason was obvious, the lift screw was made of steel but the flange was made of aluminum. Even a first year engineering student would know better then use a soft metal for the purpose of lifting a heavy electric motor and......

Coinman says "#21830 Table Saw" about Craftsman Professional 10 in. Jobsite Saw

Great piece of equipment if you need to move your saw a lot like I do. Light enough to move, but durible enough to handle 3/4" 4'x8' sheet of plywood. I made toys for children and adults, I have a garage shop so I require a saw that is easily moved and stays fairly accurate with the numerous moves I make. Only down side I have had is the bushing to raise and lower the blade sticks from time to time making it diffacult to adjust the height of the blade....
