Mastercraft 15A Table Saw, 10-in

Well I hate to say that I can now see why most people mock the master craft brand, especially if CT doesn't ever get things done right by their manufacturers. I bought the saw because it had the biggest available work area of anything on sale across any stores at the time, and with the pull out wings even more room to handle bigger pieces Now the good is done on with the bad The blade was out of square alignment from the mitre slots front to back by more than 1/16" which caused issues ripping pieces with nice true straight edges, even after losening the front bracket bolts to adjust the whole assembly it was still 1/32" out and I had to pull the whole thing apart to try and get that back elsewhere, after spending so long convincing myself my novice hobbyist woodwork was the issue for less than perfect square edges I finally realize it's the shoddy manufacturing quality that gets passed off as ok The blade arbor flanges are not milled perfectly flat so when my blade spins I have a small amount of runout visible by minor blade wobble which again affects any chance of a nice clean cut, after thinking I had bent my blade slightly I went out and bought a couple of new ones only to find out the issue again was due to poor manufacturer quality control The fence was out of true by 1/8" from front to back but eventually I have got that reasonably close but I shouldn't have had to spend a couple of days tearing something down fully to try and jimmy rig fixes for a product that should have been checked better by the manufacturer, Needless to say I will avoid mastercraft power tools from now on if I can

I researched online for a table saw. 2 came up in the approximate price range, a Rigid and the Mastercraft. I selected the Rigid on the web site however, when my wife picked up the saw it was the Mastercraft. Now the site is no longer showing the Rigid as an option and the sale is over. Very disappointing to say the least.

This 15 amp table saw is great for home projects. Be sure to use a good quality blade with it.

I bought this Table saw a CT when this was on sale ( it was a real deal at the price I paid for it. The saw works well and has been put through some good use while we were renovating our kitchen. Instructions are fairly clear and you dont need to be a master mechanic to use it or put it together. The saw is fairly decent and works really well. My only complaint is that the legs could be a little longer which would be really nice. I find it a little short for my liking but I put some blicks underneath to raise the height. The other thing that would be great and the more expensive models come with is the extension for for the table which would allow you to have more stability with the object you are cutting, other than that a great buy for the price that I dont think you'd be able to find elsewhere

Seems to be a decent saw, but I have only used it for a short time. I had a fencing project and was looking forward to my new 15 amp Mastercraft. well, the assembly instructions were quite possibly the worst I've ever encountered. The language at times made no sense, the diagrams were pathetically small and unclear, and no glossary of terms was provided. This was particularly annoying when it came to installing the blade guard and related parts. After 2 days of hits and misses I was able to make my first cut. In the meantime my partner had to borrow a saw from a neighbour so we could get going. Not impressed !!
