something is really going wrong here in your old age Paul, in fact I’m surprised you made the drop on that wave after talk like this. All of a sudden your on this weird tool trip. Maybe you should stay home for awhile and rest. Send me those plane tickets!
Howzit Paul, That looks like a kid’s toy tool like Sears has been selling, just kidding. HF’s shipping costs to Hi are way out of line and the times I checked, the shipping costs more than the product. We have a company named Specialty Lumber that carries great tools and they are very competitive so we usually buy from them.Going there is like going to the candy store for me. After checking that saw again I see it has a diamond blade, no fence and uses less than 1 amp, is it a tile saw not a table saw? Aloha,Kokua
That little saw is just right for doing a lot of the cuts on my 1/8" plywood that is my frames…A fast speed with little power, just right…
I have a Harbor Freight in my home town, as well as three Home Depots, two Lowes, and a plethora of real lumber yards…Driftwood if you want it too…Almost heaven…
I had something like that once - before I bought that lousy Ryobi BT3000 that’s now falling apart. I gerry-rigged a hand held 7-5/8" circular saw to a 3/4" scrap of plywood, cut a slot in the plywood to let the saw blade through, and “ta-daaa” - instant table saw. For cross-cuts and fences, I just used a drafter’s triangle to mark off points on my plywood table that were perpendicular or parallel to the saw blade, then clamped other scrap pieces to the table for alignments. I saw it in a woodworker’s manual described as a “poor man’s table saw”. Worked like a charm on those small pieces for picture framing.
I might have to go back to that once the Ryobi completely dies. I know it cost me less than $39.99…

I made a poor mans table saw from a circular saw too, just drilled two holes at the corners of the base and screwed it to the edge of a working table upside down. For a guide I screwed a piece of wood directly to the table. Had to lock the blade safety cover and the safety button with cable strips. Worked like a charm. Keep away from children.
Howzit Paul, What is strange is it has a diamond blade and a good diamond blade should cost more than the saw does. I would think it would have a carbide blade. Aloha,Kokua
There are a couple of others on the same site as well, a larger DeWalt and a Makita. Bit pricey for me at the minute but I’m damned sure it would get used, like you say, ideal for small stuff.
