Hi~
I am looking to buy a table saw. I found a new Table Saw Craftsman
24885 when I shopped in Sears last Sunday. It comes with up to 30 in.
rip capacity with telescoping extensions, a powerful 15 amp, 5000 rpm
motor, and a large cabinet stand for extra storage and dust collection.
Do have any suggestion for this new saw? Thanks.

Look elsewhere. Most people here are less than satisfied (If I said
dissatisfied, I'd have to say Many people) with Sears Power Tools
quality.
If the saw's in the low price (less than $400) it's probably cheap junk
that will work only ok. The contractors grade saws seem to be much
better quality, but I've never used them.
Take a look at the alignment of the blade and splitter. They should be
dead on, no skewed off to the side. My Craftsman saw is guilty of this,
and for safety reasons I took off the blade guard.
Also, most Craftsman saws aren't easy to fit with Dado blades. Even if
you don't think you'll do Dados now, you'll probably want to later.

If this were 1945-160 time frame, Sears was a good place to shop for
home owner grade power tools.
But this is not 1945-160 time frame, and Sears is no longer a good
place to shop for home owner grade power tools.
