Table Saw recommendation? - eviltoast

What’s a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can’t really tell much a difference. I’m tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances…

Anyone have a specific recommendation for someone who is only occasionally playing around with simple carpentry?

    I just bought one of these, and do like it, BUT, my only complaint is the plate surrounding the blade is plastic and flexes easily. I’ve had multiple pieces of wood stop with about an inch left to go before completely clearing the blade. Could be user error, but even waxing the surface and using the lightest pressure possible to safely push the wood, it still catches at times.

    I’ll make a plywood replacement this weekend, and don’t have any other complaints, but just be weary. Couldn’t believe Kobalt would use plastic for that piece. :(
