Table saw?

[harv3589]

I’m looking for a new table and not sure which to get. Been eyeing up the Dewalt jobsite one with stand. I don’t need a commercial grade one, they are too expensive.

Any suggestions?

I own a Laguna Fusion, and have used a SawStop Contractor model at work. I am not recommending either. I only mention it because I compared the Rigid I bought my son for Christmas to them, and I was really impressed with the value of the Rigid. It really stores away well too.

Home Depot has them on sale a lot too, I think I paid $450.

Buddy asked my advice, we settled on this one. It really is a rigid saw and not that expensive. Nothing worse than a lousy table saw. I've got a similar one.

The folding table saws are fine if you’re cutting small and short pieces, trying to cut a full size sheet of plywood while doable is difficult even with stands. The above saw works better for larger pieces and is solid, I own one and use it for ripping large pieces or a light duty work bench.

FWIW

I just checked the CT flyer preview and the small DeWalt is on sale $100 off.

Smaller saw, but smaller price too.

I have something similar to the Ridgid, but it’s the Lowe’s brand.
Kobalt is the name I think.
I don’t use it a lot, but it’s all I need.

Bought a Rigid jobsite saw with the base, very handy, lightweight and accurate enough for anything I do. Ended up getting it used from a fella needing cash, think I paid $100.

A far cry from the old Delta that I was given by my dad, nicknamed "The Assasin" that thing was amazingly unsafe and inaccurate, got a couple bucks at the metal recycler.

Invest in decent tools, you won't regret it.

Others have mentioned, the RIGID brand, and I have a shop vac and few other RIGID tools and they are good priced, mid market products that are pretty darn good for most of us who are not everyday contractors. Having said that, can't comment on the saw specifically

BUT ........ I have a thought .......

I'd buy the model that has the permanent and heavier stand (unless you are moving it around lots to jobsites, etc...).

When you go in there and wiggle them around, although the job site folders are pretty good, they are not quite as heavy and stable as the fixed frame leg models ...... and if you are like most of us, and use it once a week or so for a project here or there, and don't need to move it too much or too far, get the heavier more stable, non job-site folding type.

That way you won't knock one of them wheels, or pencil thin brace legs while throwing plywood around.
