Buying a Table Saw at Sear's today:Need help please

[BigSix 10+ year member]

I will be purchasing a table saw from sears today with sears card and I would like to hear yall opinions on the best table saw for the money.Im pretty new to box building so after building my last box I feel like I need a table saw to make perfect cuts. So I was wondering if you guys could recommend me one in the 100-300 price range and for what features should I look for. I am building a box for a DD sub 9515g and the box im building calls for 7 degree cuts and 45 degree angle cuts so I need a table saw that can do this.

Any input is greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Look for one that is solid on all fours and won't wobble when you apply some push to it. Also look for a good rip fence that will stay in place and not move when you lock it down. Over weight helps (e.g. the heavier it is the less it will flex). Cast iron is a plus.

Jet makes a pretty good table saw too. That's the one I got and it's awesome. I wish the table was a little longer, but the fence is solid, it's powerful and as safe as a table saw can be.

Delta, like terra said.

Or

Rigid.

I own the one pictured in this link (not my picture though), it's one of the best you can get at the price. It has a very good fence.

I don't think you'll find it at Sears though.

In the neighborhood of $500-$600. It's relatively quiet too, nice balanced feel to it.

very nice setup dude, I think that one is at home depot for sure. I'm with you on the size - I need something a little bigger than the standard and this looks perfect.
