One thing I found out about the Craftsman saw, even though it looks like the Rikon, the Craftsman are actually made by a company by the name of Yukon. There are some differences and the Yukons are made with a CI table where the Rikon has an alumnum table. It is my understanding the Rikon even though the table is aluminum, it is a more solid saw. I hear the table flexes alot on the 10 Yukon/Craftsman quite a bit. Just fyi.
