Re: Benchtop Tablesaws: We Want Your Feedback

I use a Ryobi BTS 20 and just love it. When it comes to ripping, it is great. I have ripped very thin strips of wood for use in my model boat building and am very pleased. I have been pleased with the rips done on oak and maple for use in some furniture I have made. No problems there.

It is stable, easy to store, and very user friendly. A very good value for the money. I would recommend it to anybody with limited space to store a saw.

However, when it comes to cross cuts, the table is too small and the miter gauge is too short. Once the little guide washer on the end of the miter gauge slide broke, i have no stability at all. Cutting large sheets is a challenge.

If I had more space i would have a full size table saw in a minute, but for now and for limited space this is working well. Sheets get cut with a saw guide and my Hitachi 10" circular saw.
