A cheap circular saw and this thread are your friend.

A table saw is overkill and not needed.  I used a cheap folding table and some clamps to do most of my cutting.

GaryMcT:

Awesome. . thanks.  Bookmarked! :)

ChadTower:


I agree fully that the tablesaw is an unnecessary luxury here but don't go too cheap on that circular saw.  Anything less than a Black and Decker is probably more dangerous than it's worth.

GaryMcT:

Thanks for the info.  I'm going to try to stick with a jigsaw for rough cuts and the router for final stuff along with a clamped straight edge and some antislip material.  I don't have a circular saw yet, so I'm going to try to avoid it for now.

I own that particular table saw. As mentioned before you can't really cut large pieces on it with out cutting them down first. I would have to say that for the money, it's pretty decent.
