I appreciate all of the advice. Thank you. I decided to go with a $200 Craftsman table saw. Of course, I would have loved to buy one worth twice that much along with a $150+ miter saw. Folks made clear to me the advantages of a miter saw. However, I decided that I needed to have the ability to rip materials (e.g. making 2x2's out of 2x4's). As far as the safety factor goes, yes, I am more intimidated by a table saw. But, at least I used one previously in my junior high wood shop class. I''ve got my push stick made. Regarding the advice on a jig saw, the point is well taken. I already own one. Thank you much!
