Wow, that's insteresting. I never heard that story. So who is making Craftsman's stuff now? It seems like they went to heck about 10 years ago. They used to have pretty quality stuff and now it seems like they are cutting corners to get a lower priced product. Ridgid has done a fine job of making a decent-priced quality tool. After they made the granite-top table saw I was hoping they would further explore the use of granite for us guys down here in the tropics where everything rusts, even when stored indoors. I like the non-ferrous construction of this saw, whatever it's made of, but I hate that my magnetic accessories won't stick to it!
