I wouldn't be ashamed of that Ryobi, It is a good entry level cutter, And you will most likely outgrow it and wind up with multiple machines anyway after a few miles (I got 4) But each one is for a different cut/bit and specific purpose not just one do all machine, A table is a upgrade for it but not necessary out of the gate as saw boards work just fine for most cuts....As for what it can do, go back where you got it, and look at the bits, on the packages you can see what each bit actually does and suddenly you get a brainstorm of ideas for a really cool build.
