CX206 5HP
I purchased the CX 206 HP table saw a few months ago. I was interested in this saw because import was too difficult through the pandemic. You get what you pay for! Fit and finish is poor, mitre slots in table top are very rough, as well as there is pitting from the cast iron casting. That being said the table top and extensions were fairly good and with some minor shimming was able to get table top close to flat. Fence is cheap and when you move it left to right you have to constantly hold fence handle up or it will bind and not move. Biggest issues with this saw is Blade chatters quite a bit on start up and shut down, even when using multiple high quality blades both 12" and 10". When using a table saw sled and a 10" blade for more accurate cuts the blade will chatter to the point of cutting into the sled so you lose the accuracy of a fine saw cut where the blade moves within the sled. Also the vibration on this saw is extreme!!!!! pieces of wood will vibrate off the table saw. One last issue i guess would be the blade insert, might as well be for a dado stack the throat is so large. I new this saw wasn't going to be a fine woodworking machine however I was interested to see what was available to Canadians in comparison to King products. It's almost comical the machinery that is offered in Canada, we just love over priced equipment that is poor quality. Saw stop has its place in the industry, very well built but is over priced. I will be listing this table saw on Kijiji if anyone is interested LOL.

Great bang for the buck
We bought 2 of these for production use and so far they have lived up to the CX name. Virtually zero issues so far and they are both getting about 5 hours of use per day give or take. We replaced the blade that came with it pretty quickly but other than that this is a good saw and we are happy with the purchase.
