Ok, so I recently got into DIY, further educating myself with carpentry and what not. This tool is amazing and it's my 1st table saw. I've been reading comments about 0 clearance on the throat plate, carbide blade being a POS, riving knife adjustments, fence not aligned and etc.
Pros:
- Light weight, durable and mobile.
- Stationary or not, you can bring it wherever.
- Upgradable to a stand.
- Fence was perfect when I received the package so I had no problems with perfect 90* and adjustments.
- Carbide blade is decent enough for me to cut and everything came out cut clean. I have not done any rips just yet, but I will update with the OEM carbide blade later in future.
- Price is about right.
Cons:
- Miter gauge isn't snug tight or well placed.
- I find the protection guard rather annoying than convenient. I'm all about safety, but I find this one useless imo. I just don't like the way it's designed.
- Carbide and riving knife were not aligned, but most pro carpenters do adjustments before any cuts. Not much of a problem.
- Throat plate seems to be a problem and it starts at the locking and unlocking mechanism (black circular twist). It has an awkward and dissatisfying hump that sticks out slightly giving it an off alignment, this also applies to the throat plate. It shimmy and moves around.
- Cord. I was hoping that it would at least reach 15ft, but granted that I have an extension cord it doesn't really matter, at least for my personal use.
- Wish they had a hose or nozzle adapter for sawdust and vacuum accessories. None of my heavy duty construction vacuum nose will fit on the table saw. It's fine. I'll have to make do or elaborate.
I love this thing so far. Even with the slight adjustments and throat plate being "not the greatest", I was still able to cut perfect square with 90*.
