These buyers' guidelines are not all-inclusive by any means, so your best bet is to study-and even try out-the product before you buy. Most table saws come with a blade guard, a miter gauge, a fence, and a throat plate, but dozens of accessories are also available for specific applications. And one last word to the wise: If you're unsure as to the reputation of a product, cast a critical eye over its finish quality and check the trueness of' the table with a straightedge. Also, make sure you can get replacement parts when you need them. Lack of an odd component can turn a "great buy" into a motorized mastodon.
