In Response To: Strip: table saw? (CH10)

: i am currently in the early stages of building a guillemot kayak and i have
: come to the point where i need to cut my strips. I think i shall purchase
: a table saw as i will use it again. I am on a fairly tight budget for my
: kayak and i would like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to which
: table saw i should buy?

I was looking awile back for a possible new table saw and got pretty close to buying the Ryobi, the one with the folding base. It's really nice unless you have a large workshop to be able to store the thing when you're not using it. That saw is very reasonably priced, saw it at Home Depot, and should do the job just fine. Won't cut as fast as a larger saw but should work still.

I ended up with a Bosch folding stand for my Craftsman saw, the Bosch saw is excellent too, just not cheap.
