For the sake of completeness I would never recommend a contemporary
Craftsman power tool. Same crapola as HF, IMO.


That's a shame. Some of the newer table saw selection is pretty good
equipment.

If you can get one. They have refused to sell me one, twice.

Is the top of the line Craftsman tablesaw now a rebadged Steel City?
At least I think that is what I read on Steel Cities web site.

Who has refused to sell? Sears? The only reason that I know of that
Sears would refuse to sell one something is that one presented them
with counterfeit cash, a bad check, or a bounced credit card.

As for the current Craftsman saws, they have more powerful models than
the three Orions (Orion changed their name to Steel City) and the
Sears saws are not identical to any model sold under the Steel City
brand--they seem to be specials that Orion designed for Sears.
