My son surprised me this afternoon saying he wants to get a table saw to make some remodeling jobs around his house a little more efficient. He isn't looking for a cabinet saw but wants something the along the lines of a small 10" contractor saw. Specifically he is looking at the Bosch Model # 4100-09, the Dewalt Model # DWE7499GD or the Rigid Model # R4512. He wants to stay in the $500 range if he can.
I would appreciate any feedback on the pros and cons of these saws. The Ridgid looks like it has the better fence set up, but I've never hand my hands on any of them.
Ar all of these saws direct drive saws or do they have belt drives?
