I opted to upgrade to an Incra Mitre-1000HD. The riving knife is a nice feature but the knife itself is not straight and the clamping systems for attaching the blade guard to the riving knife is cumbersome. The split fence rail also prevents you from sliding the fence from one side of the blade to the other you have to remove it and place on the rails again. The plastic end caps on the fence rails pop off if you hit them at the right angle. I also found that the T-slots on the fence are not wide enough to handle standard T-bolts or even 1/4' hex head bolts so unless you grind down the heads of the bolts these slots are just dust collectors. Many of the reviews on the Sears site talked of trouble with getting the blade alighned with the trunions and some suggested that the other resolution was to have the bolt slots machined to allow for more movement. 02' I will make another attempt to get it closer. 001' but when I tightened the trunion it moved back to. I am again trying to realign the blade to the miter slots. For the most part this saw will do for now, but I would not buy it again. I just purchased 2 of them for $53 with shipping. It is model CR-4 and you can find it at. I just recently found that Leecraft now makes a zero-clearance insert specifically for this saw. The poor design of the opening in the table makes it difficult to find/make a zero-clearance insert or a dado insert. I have still not be able to get Sears customer service to resolve this. When I decided to do some dado work I discovered that instead of the regular and dado inserts that were supposed to come with it, I received two regular ones. As with most of the others, alignment of the blade to the miter slot was difficult, but after several hours of frustration and some bloody knuckles, it's aligned. The bolts were too short to get the nuts threaded on with the lock washers. The saw includes storage for all of the accessories: rip fence, miter gauge, blade, blade changing wrench, blade guard system, and push stick.The heavy-duty dual caster system can be easily set with the front and rear foot pedals.The blade is supported by a cast iron trunion system for accuracy and consistent cutting performance for the long term.The blade tilts to the left from 0 to 45В° to permit cutting long bevel rips on wide boards with the finish work surface in the correct position.Dado cuts with 6' or 8' dado blades, where the riving knife is positioned below the table surface Non-through cuts with the standard 10' blade, such as rabbet joints (riving knife positioned just below the top of the blade) ДЈ. Through cuts, such as ripping or crosscutting (riving knife positioned above the blade) Дў. Riving knife system used on this saw can be set at 3 different positions:ДЎ.The blade guard system with anti-kickback pawls is designed with a quick release mechanism for easy removal and replacement.The dual locking fence can easily be adjusted parallel to the miter slot and perpendicular to the table.Features a 10' left-tilting blade, aluminum fence with front/rear lock, 4' dust port, and mobility kit. The 1-3/4 HP motor can operate at 110 or 220 volts (prewired for 110, 15 amps). Craftsman 10' contractor saw features a solid cast iron table with stamped steel extensions to give you a large 27x40' work surface.
