Rockwell RK7240.1 13 Amp 10-Inch Table Saw with Stand

While the reviews were less than sterling, I didn't think it could be that bad. My mistake.

I ordered this saw as a gift for my son, who lives with his family on the other side of the country. He has a limited amount of space and limited need for a table saw. But, during a visit, we're building some shelving for their home and thought it would be helpful to have a saw.

This was NOT the right choice. Example: the included miter gauge is made of cheap plastic, will not hold a 90 degree angle.
Can't buy an aftermarket replacement, since guide slot is non-standard 5/8-inch. The fence is cheap and not at all accurate. Cheap plastic handles fall off the bevel/height adjustment spinners.

I'm surprised that Amazon would actually carry something as poorly made as this product.

This is truly a portable as far as weight is concern. The only deficiencies I see in this model is the rather flimsy blade height adjusting wheel, and the absence of a zero clearance blade plate option, which plate is also shimmed rather poorly because they are loose and rather not easy to reposition once you remove the plate to change blades. Other than that is a fine little machine with a powerful motor and nice stand. For the money you can't go wrong, it'll do the same job as other much more expensive 10" saws. It's kind of a Deja VU to the old Makita little "Green" portable that I used to own, and was looking for when I came across this one.

Cannot put a dato blade on it. Shaft is too short. Saw dust comes out the face plate. Miter groove is only 5/8 and shallow.
