I'm a novice to woodworking looking for a passable starter table saw in
the $100 range and under. Something servicable to start with. I was
looking at Lowes Task Force BT2500W and ShopMaster SM200L. I will be
doing mostly miter cuts and plan on buildng a miter sled but I want the
versatility of a table saw. Projects will be simple homeowner stuff
(porch steps and shelving) and some recreational items (hurlers like
trebuchets and catapults).

I know in Virginia we have a paper called the Trading Post. Its like a
huge garage sale w/out going to the garage sale. Also find a local
woodworking guild, they could point you to a good used saw. Please stay
away from the $100 saw, take lessons learned from others and myself.
Stay away !
