“Really like this table saw works really well. Reading the assembly instructions you will need an engineering degree to follow but I did find and assembly aid video which was great and made it easy to follow. Only problem I see and have not figured out is the rip guard needs tighter up it will move after you clamp it down. So be careful if ripping a sheet of plywood. Other than that the table saw works great and is great for a work small work shop. I realy like the fold up and storage feature.”

“Bought this specifically for a project building bespoke shelving with built in lighting. All boards needed to be accurately cut. Once the Rage Table Saw was set-up, I had a few issues with it binding on the workpiece but once I figured out the best way to operate it, it has been great. Love being able to cut a number of pieces to the exact same size every time. Don't need to mark up the job just set the desired width on the guide and away you go. Love the convenience of being able to fold the table and easily move it to be stored. That was the main reason I chose this particular table and so glad I did. Highly recommended.”

“Purchased this saw recently and am very happy with it. The only -ve point I would make is the fit of the mitre saw in the channel. This could be improved by adding some kind of rollers which closed the gap and stop the slack. Seen a recent fix by adding duck tape to the bottom but not tried that yet but will shortly. Maybe make the channel for something like the microjig zero play system. That would enhance the table even further.”

“I upgraded from a Ryobi and this machine is a huge upgrade from it. I love the fence and the extensions on both sides of the table. I called customer service in the usa and the tech told me I could remove the multi blade and turn the stabilizer plate around to use my 5/8 wood cutting blades So flipping the stabilizer plate to be able to use 5/8 blades and when doing that it puts the Riving knife out of center of the blade by 1/8 inch. I had to add folded paper to the side of the of the Riving knife to get it to line up to the blade. The Riving knife cannot be removed without removing the entire bolt and pressure plate. I also discoverd I cannot use my Dado blades due to small throat. The Dust collection system works ok but still isnt great. This has the potential to be one of the best table saws on the market under $500 if they would have make the throat bigger to accept dado blades and the Riving knife issues. These are minor issues and I am still very pleased to have this in my shop.”

“I recently purchased this saw for DIY purposes based on some good reviews on YouTube and on Amazon. Although I like the design, the quality of some of the components was a disappointment. On receiving the saw the bottom u-bar, which the saw sits on when stored, did not have the required holes drilled. Not a massive issue but a pain none the less. My main issues with the saw is the poor quality of the blade raising\angle mechanism and the amount of play in the fence mechanism. The handle for angling the blade will not reliably engage and pops off allowing the blade to simply swing freely. These issues make accurately calibrating this saw a pain. Finally, the table also scratches extremely easily. That said, for the price its not too bad. Maybe mine was just a dodgy unit.”

“Great saw that is so much better than the one it replaced. One tip is to cover the frame between the feet with foam pipe insulation to protect it when standing folded up.”
