Someone has this older model craftsman table saw for sale, and I was wandering what any of yall thought about it?  It is 3 hp but I have heard that sears hp rating can be a little overrated.  What would this be worth to you, or would it be worth buying at all?  Thanks

Jerrod, I also have an old Craftsman contractor TS.  It's a real workhorse.  The motor and cast iron top are great.  But it's not a woodworker's saw.  Good for contractors, but not for cabinet makers.

If you do decide to buy one, note that several upgrades will be needed.  You gotta get a new fence.  Delta has one for $150 or so, but needs new holes to adapt to the Craftsman.  A better miter helps, as do segmented belts and machined pulleys, and dust collection.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
