Accurate cutting?

Like was said , measure both ends of the fence to the blade . Also if you have two or more panels the same dimension , cut them at the same time before you move the fence . That way you know they are exactly the same dimension //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

On some table saws, it can be hard getting the fence perfectly squared, but once you do, if you have a good blade.Man oh man it cuts time by 80%! vs. a circular saw that is.

How much does one of those run?

I paid $600 for mine brand new with a warranty (Lowes), which i highly recommend on tools of that nature. You can find them on the web for cheaper, but *if* I did have a problem I didn't want to have to deal with all the shipping hassles to get it fixed/repaired as I depend on it for business use and can't deal with any downtime. That being said, if you are a mechanically inclined type of person, Dewalt sells all of the repair parts you would ever need, so for the average person who will only use the thing a few times a year it may be worth it to you to save a couple of hundred bucks and forgo the warranty.

You ABSOLUTELY HAVE to have experience with a circular saw to get decent cuts free-hand.Even with a straight edge you can still mess it up.

Tablesaw if you can find the space for it/can afford it.If it's set-up properly, perfect cuts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
