Table Saw recommendation?

Table Saw recommendation? - Lemmy.World

What’s a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can’t really tell much a difference. I’m tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances… Anyone have a specific recommendation for someone who is only occasionally playing around with simple carpentry?

I’d recommend a sawstop, even the folding or contractor one. It’s a fingersaver.

The most expensive table saw is not “basic”.

The contractor one isn’t that expensive. And it saves on medical bills if an amateur cuts their fingers.

But yeah be a prick about it.

Yeah it’s only a thousand dollars right?

In the US, my emergency room bill (just stitches thank god) cost significantly more than the $900 smallest Sawstop.
