Don't get less than the Delta 12". The Difference between the 10"
and 12" Delta is more than just power. The 12" has a crank handle
to raise an lower the table which is very nice for fine adjustments.
Just remember:

sweetness of low price is forgotten."

Just be sure to clamp your work and use cutting fluid. You won't
have any problems.
