Pros
The new Craftsman Professional 10 in. Professional Jobsite Saw has the power and features of a full-size table saw in a compact, portable design. The telescoping handle, 6 in. wheels and on-board storage makes transportation around the jobsite effortless. The NEW 3 position Tool-less blade guard and separate riving knife allows for versatility and safety when making various cuts.

Cons
It does not come with a stand. A lot of contractors just plop their saw on the ground and use it there but to use a table saw safely the table should be about waist high. You will have to buy a stand or build your own stand out of a couple of 2X4’s and 1/2 inch plywood.
A good solid stand for this saw is the Bosch Gravity Rise Stand. If you want a cheaper stand the DeWalt Portable Table Saw Stand should work just fine.
Summary
I would recommend this saw! This looks like a good, rugged saw and you will be very happy with it for the price. You can purchase the Craftsman Professional 10 in. Professional Jobsite Saw online from Sears and pick it up at your nearest store.
