get it.. i have one and its great.

lowes has the delta shopmaster for 88$

I've got the ryobi too. It works fine.

STAY AWAY FROM RYOBI!!!!! my ryobi 10" table saw just crapped the bed, 2 teeth snapped off on the blade tilt wheel. i brought it to behning tool for warranty, and the guy told me that ryobi is the worst company in the world. he said he will fix it as soon as ryobi gets them the part, 3-6 months! he showed me the ryobi "pile" in the back of tools waiting for parts. i wrote to ryobi, and they basically said take a number. needless to say, i will no longer purchase ryobi crap. theres my 2 cents. :wall: :bshake: :humpty:

Ryobi is crap......buy Delta or jet or some other name but stay away from Ryobi.....Every tool bigger than a hand drill that i've seen is a cheap piece of junk....want a drill press I got? When you crank the quill down it moves sideways while ya drillin...by like 1/8"!

why did hd get rid of delta.. ?? now they have rigid.. (old emerson

electric famous for making crapsman tools until early 90's )

and ryobi.. guess they don't care about selling quality power

tools..

guess i'll go to lowes.. they still had delta..




oh.. i looked at the ryobi sander today.. not all that good..

looks like its not all that durable.. (but then again what do you

expect for 99$)
