Buying a table saw & router- help!

Hey All !

I just wanted to say thanks for the advice I've received from everyone the couple of times I've posted. I'm getting ready to glass the inside of my first boat (great auk) so it won't be too long before it is done.

Now, I'm dreaming ahead of my next boat :). Can anyone give me tips on buying a table saw and router? I usually lean towards quality hoping to have it last forever. I would not be opposed to buying used, but, I don't know what to look out for.I've seen two adds in my local paper for " Craftsman, 10" table saw "
one for $250.00 and another for $275.00.

I hope these questions don't seem too naive.Before starting my "Great Auk" and a couple of greenland paddles I have had no woodworking tool experience.

Must..........have.............more...........tools!!!
more.........power aaarrrrr,aaaarrrrr :)

Thanks,Kurt
