You know the very low priced Hyper Tough line of cordless power tools, sold at Walmart, are really very well designed and made, and sell for a low, low, low price. How do they do it? Is they made by Chinese prisoners, locked up somewhere, in a Chinese prison. "You must make 25 cordless drills by noon, or no bowl or rice for you, so's get to work ....... hut-hut-hut!"
Hyper Tough makes a 10" 110v 15a table saw for about $130 .... includes a stand .... and it definitely cuts it. This is less than the $150 the ReStore thrift in Plymouth wants for a 60-year old, cast iron top, Craftsman belt drive with 3/4-hp motor.

I Bought the Ryobi because it was cheap and on sale a Xmass time at Home Depot. I won't make that mistake again. It's a POS and not worth half of what I paid for it.
If you just want a tool around the house for when you want to hang a picture it's fine. But if you perform any kind of real work where you need to depend on a tool all day then spend the extra spend the money on the Makita.
Of course if you're retired and don't mind taking twice as long to do the same job a quality tool would do then go by cheap at Walley World.
