Ryobi's RTS08 is a 13-amp 8-1/4" table saw at $129, making it the cheapest new table saw from a name brand. It's designed for homeowners doing occasional rip cuts in plywood and softwood. The smaller blade and lower power aren't great for hardwood, but the price is hard to argue with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Ryobi RTS08 cut hardwood?

It can, slowly. The 13A motor is weaker than the 15A motors on DeWalt and Bosch saws. In oak or maple, feed slowly and don't force it. For pine and plywood, it works fine at normal feed rates.

Should I get the Ryobi table saw or save up for a DeWalt?

If budget is tight and you do light-duty woodworking, the Ryobi gets you started for $129. If you plan to use a table saw regularly, save for the DeWalt DWE7491RS at $649. The jump in rip capacity, motor power, and fence quality is substantial.
