Ozito Table Saw
I know Ozito is a dirty word in these forums, but I'm starting to hear good things about them.
Has anyone had any experience of their table saw - $180 for 2000w/250mm.
I'm wondering can it be that bad if their willing to put a 3 year warranty on it, I don't expect it to last ten years but if I could get 12 or 18 months out it until I can afford better I'd be happy.
Next up the chain the Ryobi for $310 more, looks like it's designed for site use and has a crap stand.
Here's the link for the Ozito.

Rather than the warranty it's probably more about the precision that can be achieved. There's nothing more frustrating than a saw that won't hold settings or that has a floppy imprecise fence. If you have a critical look in-store it will probably help you make up your mind. I guess it depends on what your expectations are.

several things come to mind
precision -- how much do you expect? the precision required for box and/or furniture making? or hobby grade (= sand the components till they fit)
repeatability -- how easy is it to return the fence to where it was two operations ago?
size -- is the table big enough for what you want to make?
and then blades -- does it take "standard" thin kerf blades from Irwin, CMT, Diablo, et al or only ones marketed by Ozito?
your first upgrade would likely be a combination blade from Freud or Diablo, followed by a dedicated rip bladeregards from Alberta, Canada

I had/have an Ozito table saw. It's not good but it is certainly better than having nothing. I made my own fence and used sleds for it and you can make stuff. I needed strong ply for the base of the sleds because the table wasn't flat. It couldn't cut through an 18mm piece when tilted to 45 d and the measurements were useless so I used a sliding bevel. I don't regret buying it because I had nothing else but ...
As Ian mentioned it only used the bunnings blades.

I reckon you'd be a lot better off with a 2nd hand Triton workcentre than that Ozito table saw for that money.
