I sold one just like it a few years ago and was tickled pink to get $100US
for it. The sears fence was a complete piece of crap and the tilt mechanism
was "anchored" to the sheet metal side which flexed badly.
Run away. Now.

LOL, I was too busy straightening out the misunderstanding to read all the
comments first. You won the race.

I haven't kept up with the Sears line of saws for a long time, but
$912 new? For years they continued cheapening their saws to maintain a
price point somewhere in the $300-400 range. That $400 he's asking
strikes me as just about what he paid for it. To me it looks like
about 1980s vintage, too.
Wait a minute. I just saw that's a Canuckistani price. In that case,
it might actually have been $912 depending on how bad the exchange
rate was at the time he bought it. However, $400 is way high now
whether it's USD or CDN.

I know it will kill you to conclude something about minds thinking
alike, but I posted exactly the same sentiment about three hours
earlier.
I only posted it once, though.

Looks like junk to me. First of all that's not a cbinetmakers saw, it's a
low contractors table saw.

Not a Cabinet Saw, but very could have been a cabinet makers saw.

While Sears sold this saw by Emerson as a "Cabinet Makers" it was really =
a "Contractors" saw which came in 2 varieties and maybe more depending =
upon the fence.
The Cheap version to which you refer is the one in the picture, The =
better(?) version cost a hundred more and came with an "extend-a-rip" =
fence (a poor mans Beismier - not sure about the spelling). Sears even =
tried selling them for $1400 but found no takers.
I have the latter version and am totally happy with the results it can =
deliver. Parallel and tuned, this saw delivers really true and clean =
rips.
If the pictured saw is acquired, the only things needed would be, a new =
carbide blade, an upgraded fence, and serious tune up.

This is a cheap contractor table saw. The $400 could be better spent.

It could be a cabinetmakers saw. What it's definitely not is a cabinet
saw.
