Summary

4.3 stars, 1,800 reviews. Lowe's shoppers like the price-to-features ratio. You get a 15-amp motor, 10-inch blade, and 24.5-inch rip capacity for less than the DeWalt. The fence is T-slot style, serviceable but not as smooth as a rack-and-pinion. Folding stand is sturdy enough for jobsite use.

$250-$350 Lowe's, Amazon
