The Craftsman Professional 10-Inch Portable Table Saw 21829 is loaded with useful features.

First, the tubular stand opens and closes easily. It has hard rubber wheels and foam-grip handles and feet. It's like having your saw stand mounted on a hand truck, making it very easy to move the saw about. Levelers, built into the feet, let you level your saw even on uneven surface. In the folded position, the saw stands on end in just 5 or 6 square feet of floor space.

But the portability and foldability of this unit are just the beginning of the nice features. The sliding miter table (not simply a miter gauge in a slot) makes crosscutting and angled cross cuts simpler and safer. Front and rear rails allow the table to expand to accommodate large work pieces, such as paneling.

On one side, the tabletop doubles as a router table. Router mounting is not difficult. The beauty of this arrangement is that the router table can be used with the saw's quite substantial rip fence. Bit and blade guards, a standard 2-1/2-inch wet-dry vac port for dust collection, and onboard storage for accessories is also included.

The Craftsman Table Saw 21829 is an innovative saw with a cast-aluminum tabletop that can be arranged and rearranged for various tasks.
