I have been researching my first "major" woodworking tool purchase for some time. After reading time and again that the BT3000/3001 was probably the best choice for a beginner, I began saving my money. To my surprise< (a few months later) upon walking into Home Depot to make my first purchase, that Ryobi has discontinued the product.
I began thinking that this may be a sign ... but then remembered the things I have made (and enjoyed) by mostly hand tools and how much I've wanted to use a table saw.
The salesperson told me the best saw after the BT3100 would be the Ridgid TS3650 ($500). I understand that it has a good reputation and that this unit is now the best option this person has to sell.
I want to make the best decision possible for my first major purchase and I can stretch up to around the cost of the TS3650.
What do you all think? Thanks for your help!
