Avoid Ryobi. Their cheaper tools are just too
lightweight and flimsy.
I have one of those approximately $179 Sears 10" table
saws,
and it has served me well. They have sold numerous
variants of the same basic model, with variations
in the stand, the telescoping side pieces, etc.
You can get one with wheels, I think, and one with
a folding stand.
