Ryobi BTS20
Does anyone have any experience with this saw? On the surface it appears to
be a decent little saw for casual use. It folds down to a nice compact size, has large wheels for easy mobility, the fence seems decent, though the miter looks pretty cheesy. I'm wondering if this is a good saw for the price ($250 range). My needs are minimal (I won't be making furniture - just occasionally need to rip or crosscut in a straight line). I currently have an old Delta/Rockwell 9" TS with a messed up arbor where it meets the pulley, so there is vibration (bearings are fine - the pulley is wobbly), although the rest of the saw is in good shape. It needs a new blade, but I'm not sure it's worth investing in. I'm concerned mostly about the safety aspect of the exposed motor/pulleys/belt with little kids about. Plus, it's hard to find 9" blades and the motor is on the weak side. Thanks in advance for any advice, Pete |
