I have a Craftsman 10" Contractor's Saw with gravity rise bas. What I love about this saw is the ability to store it in a small corner of my garage. It is also very easy to setup. It has enough power to do most of my projects. It has a buil-in Router table and blade changing is relatively simple.
What I don't like about it is: the fence is fairly innacurate and takes some adjusting to get an accurate cut.Craftsman does not make Zero clearance throat plates for it, nor does anyone else.I made my own out of Lexan. I would have much preferred a cast iron top and a better rip fence but it was a give and take situation when purchasing this saw. Portability,small storage space, easy setup and utility against accuracy, availability of common parts and cost. I purchased the saw for $329 and for the price, it's a fair value. I did however, purchase a two year extended warranty at nominal extra cost.
