Looking for a good compact table saw under 200 bucks. Cheaper the better. I have an old Rockwell but the fence is about as accurate as a broken arrow. I have to use a square to clamp it straight. Most of all I'm looking for something with a nice accurate fence. Mine works for ripping down decking and lumber but the wife wants me to build some shelves and it's got me thinking I need something better. How are the ryobi saws? I've looked online at those, the skill, and the rigid brand is really catching my eye as they seem pretty solid with good reviews. Don't want to spend a bunch of money but want the most accurate thing out there for my budget. Thanks in advance for the replies

There is really nothing that is accurate or going to cut well in that price range. First off the blade that comes with what ever your saw is, is probably garbage so there is an extra cost right off the bat. I have a DEWALT-DWE7480 witch is a reasonable contractors saw. A really great middle of the road saw. Made lots of money with it. they are about 350 and go on sale regularly for less. Still the factory blade is only good for a few cuts. I have used plenty of ****** table saws and ran my thumb through an old delta that binded when the fence gave loose. I do not trust a cheap table saw and neither should you. Even with the best work practices **** happens quick on a saw when it goes wrong.

Doesn't exist.
Use a straight edge and a circ saw.

You are kind of asking a lot for only $200. Perhaps keep an eye on craigslist and find a deal on a old saw.
