Lets say that you have to cue bases and case in the upstairs room. A chop was is king for that kind of work unless you like the exercise running back and forth to the shop? I am talking about a cabinet size table saw, not a job site one. I wouldn't cut too much miters with the job site little saw with a jig. Not too safe unless you have all kinds of outfeed and extensions.

In watching some of the videos on youtube, I've seen some great jigs for table saws. I'll certainly be giving them a shot. Obviously, for crosscuts on anything long, the miter saw would be the way to go.

This is what I'm currently targeting (and CFO has approved). It's got the 36" extended side table. The next step up is 52". I probably won't go that route.
