In a hurry? - Last I checked (November 30, 2009) I spotted this Bosch 4100-09 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Stand
at Amazon for just $600 (including free shipping)
at Amazon for just $600 (including free shipping)There's also a cool video on Amazons site (lower right side of this page) which shows how to use the Smart Guard System and some screenshots of the Digital Measuring Display (which is only available for the 4100DG-09 model – or as an extra accessory for the 4100 and 4100-09), the Squarelock Rip Fence, the Subbase and the Gravity-Rise Stand.
What you should seriously consider buying together with your Bosch table saw is the Bosch TS1002 Table Saw Rear Outfeed Support Extension, the Bosch TS1003 Table Saw Left Side Support Extension as well as the Bosch TS1004 Table Saw Dust Collector Bag.
Getting a portable table saw like this makes sense even if you're not actually loading it unto your truck to bring it with you to your worksites – the ability to just fold it away and store it flat against your back wall is very neat. (and if Amazon still has it with the stand for just $600 when you read this then it really is a no-brainer)
The best feature in my opinion is how easy the different safety features are to use.
Also, beware that the blade that comes with this table saw will not last for long so you might want to look around for some decent and durable ATB or FTG blades.
One of the Amazon reviews mention problems when using thin kerf blades (close to 0.091”), so be careful with the thin blades – the reviewer had no problems with 0.128” and 0.098” kerf blades though.
Oh, btw, the majority of the 47 reviews on Amazon are 4 or 5 star reviews (with only 6 being 3 star or less)
