It is a Makita 2703 15 Amp 10-Inch Benchtop Table Saw. Its replacement sells for $528 on Amazon. Is it worth diagnosing the problem and trying to fix it? Having a tablesaw would be extremely useful. I have a circular saw, but a tablesaw would save a great deal of time. I have seen people screwing circular saws to the bottom of tables to rig tablesaws, but an actual tablesaw would be much better. Harbor Freight's version is $140 and eventually I will be able to get it a bit cheaper.

I could always put up a notification for Craigslist, but it would be far easier to find a used one back in the Phoenix area, I just rarely drive down there.

What do you guys think?
