Default A craftsman table saw?!

I would suggest looking elsewhere. Spending that kind of money for
something with a questionable fence? Look at Grizzly, Jet, Delta, etc.
and see what there is to see.

This is $500, and there is a 10% discount for hardware week, or something
like that.
So it is $450 for alot of cast iron. (the router table piece is cast iron
also.)

It is only a 24" fence, but I don't expect to do much bigger than that.
The fence didn't feel as positive as the deltas or jets, but I can always go
to a better fence some day; right? (besides, that is 6" less inches I need
in my already cramped "shop".)

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.)

Also look at Makita and Hitachi. They look even better.
