SUMMARY REVIEW

The author looked at 13 popular 3-hp, 220v 10-in. cabinet saws. In addition to evaluating the saws for power and safety, he also tested for tabletop flatness, for runout at the arbor shaft and arbor flange, and for parallelism of the blade to the miter slot. He found that all the saws offered plenty of power, solid rip fences, smooth controls, and flat tabletops. The General 650-T50 M2 has a U.S.A.-made Baldor motor and the lowest arbor runout in the test group. An extension table and legs are optional.
