I got one of those 10" craftsmen, I use it now solely for cutting horn or anything I don't wanna feed into my 14" grizzly. I think it is a good little saw, but the guides suck with little adjustment. Adjusting anything on the saw is limited. It works though. I put a woodslicer on it and have been using it for for horn. The blade just keeps going, even though for resawing or whatever they go dull very fast. Mine is dull as hell but it still cuts horn nicely for my needs. I've been happy with all my cheapo craftsman products really. My 150 dollar craftsman beltsander is great.

I bought this one second hand and its brilliant. Used to do everything by hand but tennis elbow set in and it was no longer fun. This will cut anything the throat will take. 1hp motor.

As you can see I dont have a lot of space which means I can stow it out the way when not in use. There is some yew on the floor in picture that was cut with teh saw.
