Craftsman power tools used to be very good. In my woodshop I have a Craftsman wood lathe,and a Craftsman scrollsaw that were new in 1950.A Craftsman radial arm saw that dates back to 1960.I purchased these used when I was setting up my woodshop.They are all top of the line equipment.In 1997 I purchased a Craftsman drill press new that has worked very well.Also a Craftsman power miter saw that is AOK.In 1999 I purchased a top of the line Craftsman table saw for $725. on sale.It is a piece of crap,impossible to keep it lined up properly,even with new adjusting blocks.It now sits n the corner of my shop collecting dust.One of these days I will have a garage sale and get whatever I can out of it.It is a good saw for construction purposes,but when you get into fine furniture making it is no darn good.I have since replaced it with a Delta Unisaw,which set me back a lot of money,but it does a respectable job of fine cutting.After that deal with the table saw,no more Craftsman power tools for me.
