Seems Home Depot is clearing these out. Saw one on the floor marked down from $599 to $399. Then you need to get a 10% off coupon which is easy. Go to the post office and ask for a "moving packet." In there you will find a Lowes 10% off coupon which HD accepts. If you can't get one at the post office buy it on ebay for $2.99. Final Price $360.

This is an awesome table saw. I already own a top end $2,000 Delta Unisaw and this one definitely gives it a run for the money. I got this one for the garage since granite tops can sit outside and not rust. It's comparable to other granite saws running $1200 and up. Warning - it weighs 450#.

I've heard good things about this saw, especially at this price point. I'm sorely tempted, even though I'm unemployed.

Googling reveals a recall that affects some models:

I picked up a TS3660 for this kind of pricing when the 4511 came out. Personally I wasn't crazy about the granite top but the riving knife would have been nice.

Personally I don't go for scamming the post office packs.

If you wax your top it will not rust. You want to use a wax with no silicone in it though.

Johnson's Paste Wax is what I use. I also put some boeshield under the top.
