Here is the boat gallery from the Gregory machinery post with the woodman saw for interest's sake.

I think that you would be able to find an experienced forum member locally to come along to check out a potential saw with you. Looking at the ryobi in the big green shed it seems a similar style to...

I've seen a few cast iron topped contractor saws in the $400-$500 price range locally on gumtree. In fact I sold my old one recently for $400.

It sat there with $450 on it for two weeks before...

If you just want to rip stuff, there are two socket head cap screws in the fence bar/clamp assembly. Loosen, adjust and tighten. They are designed to be adjustable.

Won't help you with cross...

Yeah, the cam sometimes vibrated loose, but I didn't have problems with it not locking square. I resorted to a clamp on the fence at the outfeed table by the time i got rid of it, just to keep it...

I started with one of those...

Few things, blade parallel to mitre slots. There are some socket screws which adjust the whole mechanism with respect to the table top. Needed a long extension...

Hi,

I've got a laguna platinum and couldn't be happier. Be aware that a bunch of saws are available worldwide with very similar specs and seem to come out of the same factory.
...

I don't think they've changed much.

For my money I'd be chasing a second hand contractor saw or better for that amount. I've got one to sell myself when I dig it out from the back of the shed.

No, it isn't the same. Right tilt versus left is the first obvious thing I noticed.

To answer your original question this saw seems identical to the Laguna Platinum and the Grizzly G0690. Reviews for the latter are easy to find online.

Moving up from a contractor saw is a huge...

I don't know about this particular saw, but it looks from the photos to have the mostly the same fence as the platinum, which I liked the feel of better. The other two features I liked that...

Looks almost identical to the laguna platinum, just a few minor differences. Nice saw.

Cleanup and riving knife on Delta 36-650 contractor saw - MANY pictures

I've got an old 12 inch contractor saw without a riving knife. As an engineer i couldn't help myself and came up with four mechanisms for different designs for to solve this issue. None were like...

All set up and going now. I haven't installed the sliding table yet, but used my old home built sled and tenoning jig. I gave the saw a good workout tonight and it's a joy in comparison with my old...

For those of you without access to collar and thumbscrew making equipment, I've just tried mine with four pine offcut wedges between the bed of the planer and the cutterhead assembly.

I just...

The table on mine is flat. I checked with my level and it sits flat in all directions on the table and wings with no light visible under, so no issues there.

I built another riving knife for mine...

I've got myself one of these recently, and am very happy with it. I have not done anything serious on it yet, but it was trivial to align everything in comparison with my old contractor saw.
