Thread: second hand ryobi table saw

If you need a TS and it is really cheap then it will do you a turn and is better than nothing. I had a GMC and it did all I asked of it so the Ryobi should also be okay if you don't expect too much from it. Not a real accurate fence but that can be overcome by clamping a straight edge to table top and measuring the distance from the blade.

I have a Ryobi table saw with extendable wings. Yes, the fence is most likely to be inaccurate, and the tilt measurement not as it should be, but eachis relatively easy to fix. Certainly the Ryobi is not up to the standard of the more expensive saws, and has little in the way of bells and whistles. But, what do you want it to do? I have found so far that it serves me well for the price and the tasks which I need to perform with it.

If you just want something fairly basic, and are prepared to put in a little time occasionally to keep the saw tuned, then you should get some quite reasonable service from it.
