A few years ago I needed a table saw to do some trim work around the house so I picked up a 10" table saw from Sears. I don't use the saw very much but brought it into the shop to do piddle stuff with instead of using the big saw. It crapped out this morning.
They put a freakin PLASTIC reduction gear in the gearbox from the motor to the blade. %$%$%$%$%$%$%$s. Never again. I have bought alot of Sears stuff over the years too.
Paid like $300 for that saw too.
