best table/bench saw in £300 range?

[kaseryn]

Any recommendations? I see Ryobi do a couple...

I have a Jet saw can't remember the exact model but they call it their site saw. It has aluminium tables but the fences are very good and i really like it. I shopped around a bit and it was the best non-cast iron table saw i could find!

If i was looking again i would be patient and buy second hand but in Northern ireland there is much less choice for second hand kit.

I now have a very old cast iron table saw with a 14" blade, paid £200.00 for it and another £100.00 for a new 3hp motor much better than the modern stuf

i bought a ryobi about years ago, which has been ok, with a decent new blade on. Ive recently started upgarding the stuff in my workshop, and if youre careful and patient, youll find a lot better decent quality second hand stuff around than the cheap new stuff

I was looking at that Ryobi, and it does seem good. If i hold out for something secondhand, what should i be looking for.. brandwise?

like the look of that one, nice and compact, what sort of use is it rated for though?

ive got 1 of these with an extra out feed section and the stand,i think its an ok saw imo.

if you look around my workshop you can see the ryobi[£110] i used to use [noisy as hell]got rid off 5 years ago
i then bought a dw742 flip saw [7 years ago] £470
i now have a 712[£378] parked to the side off the 742 on the workmake with the saw stand [£125]stored on the eaves

i mainly use the flip as a table but for 2 years was invaluable in both modes

the clark saw is also a fantastic compromise [combination saw] when you need flexability at a reasonable price when starting up

Right.. was wondering about the flipsaws.. handy idea.. but since i already have a reasonable chopsaw i fig'd i'd get better functionality laying out on a proper table saw.. that's quite a shed! Built one meself last summer.. only allotment scale tho..
