Some manufacturers of belt drive table saws:
Milwaukee
Delta
DeWalt
Grizzly
General / General International ("Made in Canada" / "imported" from Pac
Rim)
Jet
Ridgid
Ryobi
Emerson (sold by Sears)

Let's not send the guy looking for Milwaukee table saws of any kind. Milwaukee
makes hand-held power tools for the most part.

I'm no longer sure what kind of table saw Ryobi makes, but their parent company
appears to be making tools for Sears now, and the only things Emerson is making
for Sears at this point are shop vacuums.

Ridgid woodworking tools started out being made by Emerson, but are now made by
Ryobi's parent company, still for Home Depot distribution only.

Powermatic is an obvious candidate, too, even if Jet now owns the company.
Tradesman might be, as they offer a contractor's saw, though I have never used
one of their tools.

Bridgewood can be added to the above list. They have some excellent tools,
across a really broad line of woodworking machinery. (Wilke Machinery.)

Shopfox is Grizzly's "other store" line and is usually quite good.
