From my experience this would mostly be an issue with large pieces of plywood. This is not as good as a $200 or $300 unit, but not too far off either. If there are table extensions you can purchase, that would defintly remedy the problem. The main drawback is that the unit's a bit underweight and it may have one or two somewhat flimsy parts. I recently purchased this table saw and noticed the same issues the other people wrote about.
The reason for the 3 stars is that I'm a little strict as far as my ratings are concered. First of all, it's a good dependable saw with plenty of power and features. Not so much with smaller or lighter pieces of wood. At less than $100 on sale, you can't go wrong with this and it's worth the money. As it is, it would be somewhat unstable with the larger plywoods.
This table saw has done everything that I've asked of it so far. Overall I'm happy with it and would recommend it for any light outdoor usage where dust collection won't be needed. The construction was suprisingly light but so far hasn't been a problem. I have had one incident with the kick back safety device causing a jam so I am begining to believe that they may become problmatic as a previous reviewer noted.
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED TO HELP ME IN MY WORKTHE SAW WORKS GREATRUBY
Easy to make adjustments. I'd be a little worried about cutting a full sheet of 3/4" plywood, but i'm not saying it's impossible. Good for what it is. For a light-weight, light-duty table saw it is very good. I will probably purchase the table top extensions for more work surface.Excellent light purpose, portable table saw.
Quick assembly, took about 15 minutes. Accurate after fine-tuning. Weighs a fraction of my Delta contractor saw. Cons: the parts seem a little too light-weight, although i haven't experienced any problems with them yet.
i will have to say that the quality of saw is great. oddly enough B&D sent extra washers in my kit.go figure.maybe i got the other guys LOL. some better diagrams, and more detailed instructions would help.and yes i am male and i read the instructions. i do have to say that the assembly instructions do fall very short of being useful / adequate. ok, first off, i was not shocked that the saw required assembly (as some reviewers have been) typically mail order items do require assembly. it cuts wood in a straight line or at an angle, what more do you want it is a saw, not an espresso machine. i live by RTFM. it is perfect for the occasional DIYer, i am sure a woodworker would be unhappy with it; but for little jobs like putting in laminate flooring and ripping the end of the wall planks it is fine.
