Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRRTS10 10-in Portable Table Saw w ...
I particularly like its aluminum construction to keep weight down so I can transport it without its stand in the back of my Prius to my son’s house to help with his projects. This Ryobi seemed like just the right fit for my current needs, as it has proven to be, especially considering the very, very attractive price. I was able to rip through treated 1×8′s without a problem with the factory blade but wouldn’t recommend keeping that blade in use for an extended period. I was not going to spend upwards of $300 for a table saw that I’d rarely use and even then for simple projects. My old 10″ Craftsman table saw gave up after 26 years of good service. Note: Very similar (almost identical) to the Craftsman Evolv series table saw with the same specs. But for my kind of lower end projects around the home and garden, this table saw is just fine. It’s definitely not a contractor grade tool but if you’re looking for a saw to remodel a room or do other simple jobs, you’ll be happy with this item. My biggest complaint is that the clamps on the locking bar are pretty weak and require the use of C-clamps for it to securely lock in place. Now I’m no longer in that mode, but I do need to cut miscellaneous 1x and 2x stock plus 1/2″ to 3/4″ plywood from time to time. The blade tilt setting is manual with a somewhat crude indicator of tilt angle. I doubt if I’ll ever need to cut a full 4×8 sheet again.
