Yea , you see that right on here....Somebody asks for advice on a
tablesaw for "occasional" homeowner use and some guys ALWAYS use the
occasion to brag about their 800 dollar top of the line saw and
belittle those who recommend a cheap Craftsman or Ryobi or a used
one...

Grin, seen that one! I'll often reply to a thread after I've seen
many replies, where the person said right at the start they didnt have
much money and literally couldnt afford the 'true fix' but needed
something fairly quick (due to working 2 jobs sometimes) and cheap but
protective enough to not cause damage.

I got the same sort of stuff when asking what sealants were best for a
cement slab that would be overlayed with outdoor type carpet in a
sunroom. Very fine spiderweb cracking, minimal amounts of it on a
40year old slab extension.

Although well meaning, I got a chuckle at the number who couldnt stop
themselves from wanting to suggest I break out the slab and repour, or
pour a 2 inch layer over it, or 'deal with the damp then add wood
underlayment and carpet' etc.

The one person who actually responded with a product he thought well
of, we used his advice and it's done perfect for the scope of the job.
We check annually and re-apply another layer if it seems needed
(wasnt last year).




Heh,these days,$800 is NOT a "top of the line" table saw.
also,a $99 table saws will not give an accurate cut.
