I am an absolute newbie with regards to woodworking; my experience mainly consists of building subwoofer boxes for car audio. I've used my father's table saw for past projects, which seems to be a 15-year-old brother of the Ridgid TS3650, and it has worked very well for what I have needed (basic ripping, dido cuts, angle cuts).
While I'd love to be able to spend $500 on a table saw right now, it's just not in the cards. There are a few budget saws out there for $200-250, including the Ryobi BTS21, the Hitachi C10FR and C10RA3, the JET 708315LSB, etc.
Are any of these saws worth buying, or will I be too disappointed when I get further into the hobby?
