New member here...I'm in the market for a portable table saw. I do some light woodworking/simple furniture building as a hobby, but i also share a single-car garage with a roommate. I'm mostly the garage user, but i must be mindful of our collective space...
That being said. I need to be able to store the saw out of the way when not in use. So far i've been looking at the Dewalt DW745 or the Porter Cable PCB220TS, or possibly the Jet 708315BTC (although i can't get my hands on one). I like the top/fence on the Dewalt and the fact that it has a standard throat plate and a riving knife the changes with blade height adjustments, but it only has a 16 rip capacity. The Porter Cable has a half-sheet rip capacity and offcut support, but a crappy throat plate design and a fixed riving knife....
Sorry for all the words! but can i have some recommendations? I would like to stay at or below $350
