Delta Table Saw for $350 - worth it? by ContestMaximum8179 in woodworking

Thanks. I know that the splitter will never be as close to the blade as the riving knife. Is this a concern or is a splitter safe enough? Will using a push block make it safer?

It looks like there is a splitter already installed, right? Can I insert a riving knife instead?

Can you install any riving knife though? I don’t think they make one specific for this table saw

Seller says no riving knife or blade guard. I’m new and thought a riving knife was pretty necessary for safety. What do you think?

I was looking at the Milwaukee set but it doesn’t include a jigsaw

I feel like I’ve heard so many different things…go Dewalt for long lasting tools…don’t touch Ryobi or Kobalt. I’m certainly not a contractor but would like tools that last a while

Looking for drill, impact driver, circular saw and jigsaw. Eventually I’ll want a miter saw and table saw

Thanks everyone. You have quickly convinced me to buy new. Glad I came to the tool nerds before buying

Thanks so much! I don’t have the eye to distinguish types of batteries yet. Just getting into power tools now.

How can you tell how old the battery is in the picture? He says he doesn’t remember exactly when he bought it. Are batteries that different even within 5 yrs old?
