Depot has a pretty good deal going right now (for a change). Received
several gift cards for Bd/Christmas and was holding off till I could find a
10% off coupon. Wanted the big Table saw, badlyG. HD has a sale on
anything up to $599.00 gets you $75.00 off. Got my new $549.00 saw
yesterday for $474.00 (p-tax). Not a Gloat, but better than a 10% off
coupon.. I'm happy again..

As an Aussie friend of mine would say:

'Good on ya mate!' (Or "mite" as he'd utter it) ; )

Personally, I never thought much of that saw. Is there anything on or about it
that has changed to make it of greater appeal?

(it occurs that this question MIGHT come across as sarcasm - honestly NOT
intended!)

A real question: Has anything, to your knowledge, changed?

And by the way, I agree, an honestly 'good' deal Has become a rarity at HD!

Well, it still won't help ya git a "shrimp off the barbie", but I did
research close to 20 feedback comments from the HD and Ridgid sites and
almost across the board it got 5 stars. Several pretty good comments here on
the rec. also. I compared it to the Delta at Lowes and preferred the cast
vice stamped tables , plus the Fence seemed very solid (even on the store
model). Main selling point was the location of the controls. Haven't gotten
it all assembled as yet, so that will be the real test of a good/bad
decision! The price was right and a move up from my 4 year old Skil G
