Good AFFORDABLE table saw

On a table saw, it's all about the rip fence.

Get one that has a smooth sliding, easy to operate fence that clamps down straight and true without too much fiddling.

The push bar/angle guide shou;d be tight and true as well.

I have this Ryobi and it is awesome. For $200, it performs 95% of what the $450 DeWalt does.

The one caveat is that the handle for the fence is slightly larger than the fence, meaning the workpiece can interfere.
Minor but makes you go DOH a lot.
