What’s a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can’t really tell much a difference. I’m tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances…

Anyone have a specific recommendation for someone who is only occasionally playing around with simple carpentry?

The guy asked for a basic table saw. A thousand dollar saw is not basic.

I agree, but I would suggest the guy should be willing to spend the money for safety. If he cannot afford it get a handsaw.

Surely you can see how silly that is. You can cut your finger off with all kinds of woodworking tools. Does Sawstop make a hand saw? How about chisels?

You can, but it is less likely. Most likely you draw blood but the would heals normally in a week without needing a doctor

chisles are more dangerious but you normally work away from your body.
