My first table saw was a Sears 10inch best of the line model. I bought it on
sale ( I think they are on sale about 9 months of the year ) for $300. It was
a great saw for $300 and good saw if you are willing to baby it.
I sold two year later for $250 dollars. I had about an extra $50 dollars in it
so the cost of ownership was about $50 per year.

About a year ago I bought a used Delta-Rockwell Contracters Saw. It costs
about $700 new. I payed about $500 used. It has a motor the is 50% more
powerful, A better rip fence and alot beefyer castings. I now spend very little
time keeping it tuned up. It is a pleasure to use.

I would recommend a used contractors saw, if you can find one. If not a Sears
table saw will hold you until you can afford your saw of choice.

ps	For more preformance wire your motor to run at 220 Volts. There is
	an appreciable differance.
