I looked all over at table saws a few months back - Sears, HAD, Lowe's, Harbor Freight, etc. After reading reviews and kicking tires, I quickly came to the conclusion that there are four levels.
1. The basic $150 Skill, Rigid, Craftsman, etc., that will cut, usually straight.
2. Compact jobsite saws for about $300ish
3. $500+ "real" table saws - lower end Delta, Bigger Rigid
4. Cabinet saws for when you start hosting your own tv show.
My brother has a$150 Skill. It cuts.
My dad has an older $250 Craftsman. He absolutely hates the fence. With good reason, it sucks.
I looked hard at the Dewalt 745. I bought the next one up, DWE7485?, because it will rip up to 24". The table is small, but I'm building a sled for it, and I'm adding an extension to the table it sits on.
It you want to make something other than sawdust, try one of the DeWalts.
