Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a table saw and really want to get a contractor-style one. I'd prefer something larger than a job site saw, but a cabinet saw is way out of my budget and space. I've come across several recommendations for contractor saw models, but I'm struggling to find any in stores or even online. It seems like brands like Delta and Ridgid aren't available anymore. Does anyone know of any manufacturers that are still producing contractor saws at a reasonable price? I've considered looking for used ones, but there aren't many good options in my area.

I went through this search a few weeks back. Dewalt had an ideal 10” contractor saw, but it’s been discontinued. Keep me posted if you find anything! Just to clarify, I’m specifically looking for non-battery-powered models. Dewalt does have an 8-inch 20V-Max, but I can’t justify the cost on that one right now.
Consider hybrid saws too! Brands like Grizzly and Laguna make some great options that fit nicely between jobsite and cabinet saws.
I saw the Delta 36-725 at my Lowe's, and I'm sold on it as soon as I'm ready to pull the trigger. Are you aiming for something heavier or just a larger option?
There are definitely contractor saws available! I’d suggest checking out Dewalt, Craftsman, or Metabo for 10" table saws. I own a Craftsman 10" and it's been excellent for cutting. I mainly use my commercial saw for big projects but rely on the Craftsman for smaller stuff.
Are those the portable types? I'm actually after the larger fixed stand contractor saws. I thought about a job site saw, but I'm worried about their accuracy and power.
You might want to check Home Depot; they have the Delta saw listed! Here’s the link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-10-in-Portable-Contractor-Table-Saw-36-6013/311857717?MERCH=REC-_-pipinstock-_-315635451-_-2-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a
