Combo table saw / miter saw…
Seen in Portugal…
…Whoever get these to the States will make bank…
yep !!!
thats pretty slick
I could use one of them babies right now
well paul, waddya wait’n for? become the distributor!
I did call Ryobi North Carolina and went as high as I could trying to find one…I’m looking at saws and thinking how to modify them myself…As if I don’t have enough going on already…
hi Paul,when i saw the subject title i expected to see pics of beef burgers not wood wooking equipment , pete
Brilliant! Was it a 7.25" or 10" blade?
Of course it was metric, but in the real world it’s a 10"er…
You don’t have them in the states? Up here Rona has them, in fact I just saw one advertised in their most recent flyer. I think it was Mastercraft though.
Wow. I want one of those too!
Yeah, but it’s a Ryobi…
I’ve got a Ryobi BT3000 and just about every plastic component on it has failed or on the verge of failing. I’m looking at this combo miter/table saw and can count how many plastic pieces on it that will likely fail after typical use.
Wait 'til Milwaukee makes one.

I have to agree. Cheaply made, and it doesn’t look it would perform well as a table saw by any means. It wont fully support a cross cut, and the fence is too short to get a decent rip, much less an accurate one.
Better to leave a table saws duty up to a table saw.
Have to agree - could work for a hobbyist or modelmaker, until it takes a crap - which it eventually will…Doubt if it’s capable of ripping anything but softest of woods and nothing very long or heavy at that - looks unstable for use as a table saw.
For a small shop, would get a Hitachi or Bosch compound miter saw and a Makita or DeWalt portable table saw with stand and run off table attachment. Worth the extra money in the long run plus, more versatile.
But I’m spoiled. Have a Delta 3 horse/220 Uni-saw with an 8’ run off table out the back + bench mounted Bosch compound miter…all by necessity for work but handy for play.
They probably don’t want to sell that Ryobi in the U.S. because they know they will get sued the first time someone cuts their finger off. That thing is trying to do too much in too small of a space.
If you are into inexpensive multifunction tablesaw’s, then go with the tablesaw / router table combo tools. That is a much better combination. I have the saw shown below.
Craftsman Professional 10 in. Portable Table Saw
It does the job, and folds up into a nice compact area. Sure… I would much rather have a Powermatic, but right now I don’t have the space nor the $$.
these saws are very basic we had one on our fitting truck as soon as the arm hinge gets loose with all the weight on top they are very dangerous as the top wobbles!!
they do look good when i first saw it on the truck i wanted a go, but a table saw is much safer!
I’m hip to the fact its so “homeowner”…
I’ve got all the real deal pro tools…
But…For the HWS stuff, it could be ideal, if it wasn’t Ryobi…
Agreed… would be nice for trim jobs where I’d ordinarily have to lug both the contractors’ saw and the Hitachi compound miter all over the place just to cut a few sticks of fir or pine. Obviously not something for cutting framing lumber.
The reason I asked about blade size was actually because I was hoping it was 7 1/4"… that would be plenty to cut through anything up to 1-by and would be more stable with the smaller diameter blade.
other companies do make them or did the one we had was full metal no plastic parts. and around 3-4 times the price of the ryobi
Hi Paul,
i know its a lot more money than the ryobi but head to your nearest festool dealer, look at the plunge saw with 55mm capability and the guide rail system, totally portable, ultra safe and capable of ripping small strips for your hws right up to crosscutting up to 55mm depth. i use mine for everything but one of the nicest things i did was when making my first hws i marked where to cut for the nose and tail blocks, clamped the guide rail on with the fancy clamps and went straight through with the saw, very very clean cut due to the fact its cutting upwards, very very straight due to the guide and done within a minute!
if you cant find festool near you let me know and ill make a little video for you.

The Festool saw and rail system is brilliant…use mine all the time…
That combo Ryobi (et al) would be nice to rip the 1/8" frame parts…As well as precisely cross cut them…One tool, one cord…Frees up the benchtop…
Howzit Benny. Every guy on our crew has a Hitachi sliding compound saws and they are really good. I also have a Bosch contractors table saw that I really like. The down side to the Bosch is they have a bearing with a plastic seal that likes to heat up and freeze up which is not good. I had to take mine in to have the bearing replaced. When I picked it up the repair guy told me he had done over 70 replacements and was getting fed up. He called Bosch and they gave him the part # for a steel sealed bearing and he put it in my saw. Since then I have really abused it by ripping 6"X6" Phaesant wood ( extremely hard) and it just keeps on going. Now Bosch just needs to use these bearing when the saw is manufactured. As for the Festool saw and guide, they are unbeatable and also very expensive. The saw runs around $600 and the guide another $100. But if you are a real guy when it comes to carpentry they are worth every penny. I personnally don’t like circular saws and use my worm drive instead with another guide, but I have used the bosses Festool and can say they rock. As for Craftsman tools,you never relly know who made it since Sears just finds a mid quality brand and pays them to put the Craftsman logo on it, I think they may use ryobi alot but not sure.Aloha,Kokua
