I have a work shop of AMT tools: joiner, lathe, and bench saw.  They are by
no means Craftsman quality, but they are functional.  They use castings
and bushings wherever possible rather than machined parts and bearings.
Their parts tend to rust and must be kept clean and oiled.  I have ripped
many 2x6's into 2x3's on the bench saw and learned to cope with the way the
blade assembly would twist under the load.  The 1 HP light duty motor survived
all this heavy duty work.  I tried to take my time to prevent damage to the
motor.
