Thanks buck. Sounds like there were a lot of changes that makes it a more reasonable buy for someone looking for a saw in that price bracket. All in all, I think there are still sufficient hold-backs on Porter Cable’s part, so as not to encroach on their market with the Dewalt table saw. It does sound like the 3/4” miter slots make the Kobalt saw the only real competitor to the PCB222TS.

I did end up getting a Dewalt DWE7491RS, and am very happy with just how much of an upgrade it is compared to the black friday cheapo special saw when compared to the saw it replaces.
