It is very difficult to find a good table saw in europe for anything
near the same cost as you can in the US. A DeWalt 744 table saw costs
$1100 here in Norway (yes, I need a small saw for a small shop). You
can get a US versjon for $500. I can get it shipped here for $150.
OK, it will take 3 or 4 months to get it but I am still ahead $450.
As you point out, if I had the space and money I would go for
something else, but I have very little space and hope to not use all
my tool budget for the next few years

Now I understand. The DW 744 is no longer available here and Dewalt
never offered the DW 746.
How about the Scheppach TS 2000 or a small Metabo? Not cheap either
but they have more accessories available.

Christian,

The 744 is still available on the UK market and the 746 has been out
for the past 2 year. The 746 appears to be a great saw but with
sliding table etc costs about £1,600 or $2,500 and subsequently has
not been a good seller. About twice the price of the US model...
