Hey everyone! I'm on the lookout for a new table saw since my old Craftsman contractor saw from the 70s has seen better days. I'm not a total beginner, but I do have some specific needs: I have access to 115V AC power in my basement workspace, and I want a saw that has good dust collection. I specifically need a 10-inch blade and something that can be moved around easily because I like to reconfigure my space. I'm mainly working on smaller projects, so anything that can handle up to 32-inch rips would suffice. Any suggestions?

With that budget, you can find a lot of great options, including high-end used models. I picked up a well-maintained Powermatic with a 50" rip for under $400. So definitely consider used equipment if you can!
You can definitely find some solid saws in your price range. Many cabinet saws run on 120V and you can use mobile bases to pull them around as needed. Check out options like the Sawstop Job Site Pro.
What’s your budget like? That really helps narrow it down!
I’m looking in the $1,500 to $2,225 range. Not sure if that’s reasonable nowadays.
