: I do expect to do some modest home repair work. The most complex of that is
: making replacement shutters.

: thank you in advance

Depends on how much you want to spend. The Bosch portable saw is great at $550.

But I've been looking at the Dewalt compact tablesaw $369. I have a full size Delta
contractor's saw and a Makita portable saw, but both of these have table extentions.
I find I have to move them out of a corner to make a cut and then put them back before
I can continue work.

I wish I had a small saw I could keep in a set spot to cut detail strips. I like the Dewalt's
size, it has a good fence and you can hook up a shop vac for dust removal.
