Hybrid Table Saws Case Study
Hybrids: A cross between the construction table saw and the cabinetmaker’s world
You'd think these two genres of wood workers would be in conflict when applied to a table saw. Surprisingly the idea meshes quit well. Today we have selected 4 Hybrid Table Saws (HTS) for you to look at. We have used the following 8 part criteria to choose only the best available from the Net today:
1. You need the job done fast - These saws you'll be looking at today all are hard workers and they won't back down from any job you throw their way. They are made to last and they all have the features; you want and need for cabinet woodworking and at the work site as well.
2. You need a table saw that weighs less than a full sized shop table saw comes in at - This …show more content…
Turns out the pivot is mounted on one of the trunnions. In my case, it wasn't lubricated. There is nothing in the manual about this.
● The Blade wouldn't adjust true
● Initially it takes a lot of setup to get things right

Nice saw for the money. It however is not intuitive to set up. In some instances, you might need to do a bit of grinding on the motor and mounting to get the blade to true up. The mechanism to raise and lower blade is solid, that also means you need to check alignments and lock them in. After that, you're ready to rock. Low dust output and accurate cuts. There is no brake so you need to watch things. The nice thing is that they installed a big on/off switch, which is always a bugaboo for many table saws, and is the first thing you end up replacing.

This speeds the work up on site considerably
● Lighter than I expected and yet solid and with almost no vibration
● 1.75 HP and it can dado like nobody's business
● I do woodworking as a side business. This table saw handles everything I've asked of it
Cons:
● The wife almost left it on the drive when she saw the 3 shipping crates it comes in
● Assembly can be complicated if the parts don't mesh right as was the case with mine
● Instructions for assembly are not intuitive

The majority of users are pleased with this table saw. It has that 52-inch work area and is accurate with its cuts.
However, some expected more of this table saw. But, they agree considering the price they still came out ahead on the deal. The biggest problem is the initial assembly. First, you are told it comes in three boxes from two different shippers. This can cause a bit of stress as you worry about whether or not you got everything. The second hurtle is the assembly itself as in some cases parts were not finished properly and the instructions lack clarity and are not detailed in certain areas that make putting it all together difficult. After you get through all of the above, the product works admirably
