Default A craftsman table saw?!

So, is it a gimicky piece of junk, or does it offer a lot of features for
the price. (It is a step up from the router table I am using now.)


This is my saw. I paid $450 with rebate. I installed a Forrest WWII blade
and zero clearance insert immediately. The trunion nor the fence were
square out of the box. So what, neither are the $1000 Deltas I was looking
at this weekend at Woodcraft. After adjusting everything to square, I'm
pleased with the saw and love the router table. I think the fence is fine
and I never need more than 24". Hell, that will split a sheet of plywood
so what else do I need?

I also built a nice CC sled for it. I say go for it.
