I have just been using my rather old and basic WolfCraft saw table
with a Skil 'Classic' circular saw mounted in it. I'd not used it for
a long while and had to re-learn a few things but it saved me lots of
time and effort cutting up some wooden worktop material to make a
desktop and some shelves.

I have quite a bit of other similar work on the horizon and I'm
thinking of getting a dedicated table saw. I'd hope that this would
be a bit more accurate and squarer than the WolfCraft but it's
difficult to decide what's good and what's not so good looking at the
reviews on Screwfix etc.

For example the Screwfix Titan table saw:-

It gets lots of good reviews but looking at the bad reviews it would
seem that the guides are not particularly accurate, fine for cutting
up dry-lining timber but not much good for carpentry as opposed to
joinery.

I want something that will enable me to cut accurate right-angled
cross cuts and parallel rip cuts. 'Accurate' means to something less
than 1mm along a long rip cut and properly square for cross. My
WolfCraft table isn't this accurate unless you are very careful and
help it somewhat!

I don't want to spend a lot (hence looking at the Screwfix Titan) but
on the other hand I don't want to waste my money on something that
won't do what I need. Somewhere around the £200 mark is probably my
upper limit. If I'm not going to get what I want at that sort of
level then I'll muddle on with what I've got.

Recommendations please!

I have one of these

Only complaint is that it's noisy. Has an extension table to enable
wider cuts & it's pretty powerful.
The fence has knobs at each end to lock it in place, but I always check
with and adjustable square.

Also sold under the brand name Scheppach.
