I've had this saw(22849) for 3 or 4 years. It's performed well but the
slop
in the miter slot shows a lack of quality in current Craftsman items.
Knowing what I know now about Craftsman quality I probably wouldn't buy it
again. Seems like Craftsman's greatest features are heavy discounts /
sales
off of their high prices , dont pay for 60 day offers and the fact that
after SWMBO has dropped 2 grand on new appliances or furniture, a new
piece
of shop equipment in an easy sell.
Duke if you coul provide me with that link for dust collection I'd
appriciate it.


I agree about the miter slot slop. I thought about getting a miter gauge
with the adjustable screws that will take up the slot, or an Excalibur type
gauge. The saw is ok, I wouldn't buy it again, however. A link belt helps
this saw out as well.

Here is a link to the part numbers etc. for adding dust collection. (It's a
google link)

By the way, if you add the parts to your saw, be careful when tilting the
sawblade with the elbow and dust collection hose attached. The elbow cracks
easily (you may want to order 2 or 3).
