I am a newbie myself. Well compared to the folks around here anyways. :)
I purchased myself a Rigid Portable table saw about a year ago. I will
admit that it is not as portable as some of the other portables out there,
but I have been very happy with it. The fence that comes with it is a bit
beefier than that standard portable.
I have not had a real problem man handling a full sheet of plywood through
it. The table size is a much larger than the most other portables.
Don't know if I got a good thing or not, but I am currently very happy with
it. I am pretty sure that if I ever upgrade to a full cabinet saw, I will
see the error in my ways. :)
