RE: [DIY] table saw

Have y’all seen the lawyer ad that says that because of this http://www.sawstop.com/?gclid=CKOQ9JHXnLMCFQyk4AodxBUAKw all other table saws are inherently defective, and they want you to call them so that they can sue the other saw manufacturers?

I said $200-$500, not $500 or more.

The Ryobi is a tinker toy, but I guess it will do for ripping the tongue off flooring. I don't know how stable the fence is.

Come on Bob. $500 or more for a used saw to do a simple ,rip job. Go to HD, get an el cheapo Ryobi for $100 which includes a new blade. It will do a fine job.
