My old craftsman would do that, right out of the box. Smoothest

1/8 horsepower and 6 rpm?

Before he turned it on. :-)
================================================== =================
Full speed, full size saw. Direct drive INDUCTION motor.

I have a newer Ridgid. I tried penny, nickle, dime, and quarter.
They all stayed up. The quarter wobbled a little due to the breeze
the saw blade created. Is this a hard test to pass?

With no wobble, yes it is hard to pass. Give us a video!


I laid a whole handful of change on my table saw; started it up and
the coins jiggled a little but stayed right there on the saw. ;-)


I've done this "test" on my old Craftsman table saw, years ago, and produced
the same results. I've never been impressed by the coin thing.
