The quality of thier stuff is just awful these days.
I've got a big collection of older tablesaws and they are built so much better than the junk today. I was actually thinking of getting a nice new one with the nice measurements etc, but they are so badly constructed. On one model, once you lock the fence in place, you can pick it right up off the table with two fingers. That wasn't a 99.00 special either was one of the better ones.
I am sticking to my old cast iron ones. I picked up a nice contractors table saw at a yard sale last april for 5.00. Cuts nice and square and is really strong. Came back with the trailer to get it and the guy says "want this drill press?" I say how much and after another 5.00 put that on the trailer too...... Then on the way home, ran into the tree dept cutting down stuff. They let me have a trailer load of free logs for the woodstove. That was a really good day....
