    Check out Tried and True Tools in Fridley, they sell new and used tools. They can have some good deals, especially if you're able/willing to clean and fix them up a bit.

    I'll check that store out and $300 is too much for what I'm looking to spend. i"m looking to spend $80 for a table saw bc Sears selling a craftsman Table Saw 10" blade for $99 with stand.

    I pretty much need it for light duty uses like cutting 2x4's. I have Recir. Saw and Jig Saw but they cut 2x4's so crapy thats why I need a table saw. Thanks for the offer though.

    You might want a compound miter saw instead, unless you need to rip boards as well as cross cut. Otherwise, you can do good work too with a circular saw, carpenter square and saw horses. The reason I bring it up is that cheap table saws suck and aren't usually the best tool for cross-cutting 2x4s.

    ^...I'm also getting a Circular Saw also. Just need one of each for each "unique" project in the future. I love building crap so just wanted one of each. If I can't find a good Table saw then I guess I can live with a Circular Saw for now.

    like joel said, a compound mitre saw (or radial arm saw) might be the best bet for what your looking for
