looks alright... you wont be able to make big cuts though, especially if you're by yourself

ya for 40 bucks more this one is 50.5 inches wide so this probably would be better.

I found a bunch on craigslist and in our "pennysaver". there are some for 40-50 i am going to check out.

2 craftsman and 1 of some other kind. The table is not that big but i could have someone help me one day.

i bought this table saw about a year ago and it has still performed great.

as far as the size of the cuts go, i did a little modification to make it work better. i removed the extendable sides and flush mounted the entire cabinet into a workbench-type table top. basically, the saw/cabinet sit inside of the workbench. all i have to do is raise the blade and i still have all of the capabilities of the saw. then i can lower the blade completely and its basically a 4x8 workbench. really works great. ill try and get pics if you want to give you an idea....

Pics would be nice but i have no room for all of that. Fischer has one of them too. Looks very good and prob a big help. I just need a table saw for a box build and maybe a few other things.

I already built one in school. I was just going to make another one tuned higher and bigger
