Perfect Home project Table Saw
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Table Saw to finish a tongue and groove ceiling, and it worked perfectly.

    Average quality
    Overall ok. Some people complain the fence won’t square. So far I don’t have this issue. But there are some annoying things: 1. The mitre gauge wobbles, absolutely not able to cut accurate crosscut. 2. a lot noticeable scratch on the table saw surface and fence. It’s a new machine, straight out of an unopened well sealed box.

            Great saw for the price
            Great saw for the price! It makes precise cuts and has a strong motor to do so. I got this for at home projects and for the price you can’t beat the features it comes with. My only complaint is the deck has bubbles/high spots and sanding scratches that weren’t smoothed out. I’m worried this may produce inconsistencies when cutting bigger boards.

                  Good alternative to M18 table saw
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a milwakee M18 table saw, but I kept killing the batteries tring to rip 2x4s. The middle is definitely barebones but it cuts like a dream and you don't have to wait for batteries to charge.

                    Cheap table saw with serious quality issues
                    I bought this saw a couple a weeks ago and I have been having difficulty time with the following: 1. The fence: when you tighten it, one end shifts over by approx 1/8 of an inch or more. This results in cuts that are not square if you dont notice. Getting it squared is time consuming no matter what I try. The fence also has a small rivet where the lock lever is situated and it sticks out. This rivet does not allow you square up the piece to the fence when starting your cut , it causes the piece to shift over until you get passed the rivet . There is no way to fix this other than aggressively filing the metal down. 2. Adjusting the saw blade: Getting the blade to 90 degrees takes time and patience , and getting a 45 degree angle is no different. I find that I am constantly checking the angles and having to adjust often to make sure my cuts are accurate. I have had to re-cut quite a few times now do to the cuts not being 90 degrees, this is a waste of time and material. 3. Riving knife is either twisted or bent , it wont sit straight behind the saw blade and at times jams the piece Im cutting and I have to force it through or turn off the saw a removing the stuck piece. This is not safe and can lead to kick back if you are not paying attention or you have to push hard to get the pice to move. This ones has me a little scared to be honest . I feel its only a matter of time before something goes really wrong and I end with a serous injury etc. 4. The miter slots are not even , found this out when making a sled, had to file down the metal to allow the sled track to move smoothly. One end is narrower and shallower than the other . Im now getting to the point where I may return this saw and upgrade to a different brand altogether. Especially because of the fence and riving knife issues, Im concerned for my own safety and dont want to take chances with poorly made power tools.

                      Great Portable Table Saw
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to install a new composite wood deck. Worked great cutting the prefabricated decking tiles. Completed the job in record time. Here's a progress picture.

                        A nifty bench top saw.
                        An impressive bench top saw. It has a lot of features that make it unique. Many customers wish it had a miter gauge slot on the left side of the blade but you just have to adjust. A dedicated stand is not available so a talented friend and I built one out of kitchen/microwave stand. Better wheels and cut it to the height of the 2nd shelf. Added a 1x2 to the front for more space to bolt the saw down. I'm handicapped so I can now sit and do small projects on the saw.

                              The Ryobi 8-1/4 in. Table Saw is exactly what I need to do small to medium sized woodworking projects. I love how all the accessory tools store easily around the base. It fits nicely on top of my Workx portable workbench when in use. It also fits nicely on the shelf under my pull out large workbench.

                                DIY excitement.
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trying to figure out how to set this thing up. Never used one before. I respect the “read the book dummy” sticker they put over the power switch. It’s probably not the best table saw you can buy but I sure as heck won’t know the difference. I’m excited to make it through this instruction booklet and get it setup and give it a try. There’s a checkbox about “did you receive a free product for this review”, and I did not. Sign me up for that though, lol.

                                      I received this device yesterday and before starting to work with it, I checked everything first. It was very surprising for me from the problems I encountered. I took a video of it, but unfortunately I can't send it because they haven't provided for it here on this page, but I took pictures of other problems, which I'm sending, the biggest problem is that the table is not flat. I will return it as soon as possible.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thought I was getting a great tool that is also a space saver. I have had some wood cut unevenly due to the “clamp” of the Riving Knife. The clamp is slightly warped. Several times despite of making adjustment for the warp, the wood cannot proceed to the edge..but be blocked by the Riving Knife set. I had to remove this completely from the table saw. But that is a huge risk that I do not want to take. I would have

                                          I needed a small tablesaw to finish my shiplap wall. I needed to cut about 2" off my top shiplap piece. I could have used my jigsaw, but I wanted the cut perfect and this tablesaw did the trick went thru the wood like butter. very easy to set up after watching some YouTube videos.
