I've recently been thinking of building a "cabinet saw" using some 8020 extrusions. I would use some existing trunion, and use HPL covered BB plywood (plenty of 8020 bracing) for the surface. I'd probably use an existing fence system like the Vega or Bies (Beis?).
If the 8020 stuff is nearly free (have access to some cut-offs), and I use a used trunion and motor, then I may be able to do this pretty inexpensively.
My dream would be to find a hybrid saw with damage to anything and everything except the trunion and motor. I could pull those components and use them in my home-brew saw.
Just thinking aloud.
