I've been woodworking as a hobby for over 20 years now.

I've got a Delta - older contractor model - a little beefier than the X5 shown above. I've owned it for about 12 years now, and other than replacement of the power switch under warranty, have had no issues. I got it with the 32" Delta Unifence, table, and mobile base. I'd buy the Beisemeyer fence if I had a choice now. Much easier to attach purchased or home-made jigs to the rectangular body than the odd shaped Unifence.

The Ryobi saw, if under the same design as the past, has a built in motor. When (not if) it burns out, you will have to purchase a direct replacement - as it is not a generic motor frame. Also, standard dado blade sets may not fit - something about the arbor size and or clearance to the table. My Brother in law had one, burned it out, and replaced it with a Powermatic.

BTW, I'm not sure ANY contractor saw is made in the USA.
