   Is it too late to take it back????

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....

                                                                      WOW!!!   What a Ride!

   That Craftsman Job Site saw has had at least a couple of *very* favorable reviews in some woodworking mags over the past few months.  (It's obviously not made by Ryobi!)

   I've no experience with it other than seeing it on display, but the write ups I saw all commended the saw's construction and fence.

   I'm pretty sure, not absolutely certain, but pretty sure the jobsite saw is made by Ryobi.

   It  might be made by One World Technologies, but it sure as heck isn't a re-branded Ryobi.  I'm not certain, but I suspect that the "Craftsman Professional" is made by Orion (the same company that makes the new top-end hybrid table saws). 

   "OWT" is the parent company of the American Ryobi company we're familiar with.  "OWT" also manufactures the Ridgid brand of tools Home Depot sells. And "OWT" also manufactures a fair number of house-branded tools for Sears.

   I've looked at the Ryobi job site saw at Home Depot -- it's typical of Ryobi; a recycled pie tin.--Steve

   I have had the Sears job site saw for almost two years.  It has seen heavy use and has worked well.

   The miter gauge is terrible - I could not keep it adjusted to an accurate 90 degrees.  Frustrated, I bought an after-market miter gauge.  I think I will set the old miter gauge to 90 degrees and epoxy it in place so it won't slip.  In this way it will have some value, and I can get out the good one for angles.

   Other than that the saw is ok, especially if portability and moderate price are main criteria.
