If you find a 10 inch table saw for under 500 dollars
post more info here. I do not think you will find a saw 
in that price range that is made in the US or Canada. Please refer
to an article in Fine Wooodworking published recently 
that gives info on imports. These knock offs can be fixed
up to function pretty well but just out of the crate you
can expect problems with machine tolerances and bearings.
There have been many letters to the ed about this as well.
   Watch for used gear you can fix up as this is often a good
buy, an old craftsman,porter cable,dewalt,powermatic,rockwell
or delta can often be brought up to specs by an interested
woodworker.
   With reference to imports I seem to recall Grizzlies (sp)
as an impoter that is good to work with.I also get mailings from
outfits that ship knockoffs from Japan and China, big problem
with these is they have no customer support.
