If I ever build a real shop I'll buy a bigger saw, but I used this 10" jobsite Dewalt for several years to build a surprising number of successful projects. The outfeed table (repurposed from an old entertainment center) was a game changer. I wound up running it indoors w/dust collection and the size and scope of the projects I was doing took off from there. I never would have tried to rip a full sheet of plywood with it, but I definitely pushed the limits of what it could do. It never failed me.



I know you already bought a saw. Definitely look at a good push stick, push block, a thin rip jig, featherboard, zero clearance throat plate inserts and a good miter gauge next. if you need any of this stuff to get going send me a note and I'll send you what I have here to get started. Learn how to build the sleds and jigs you need from the woodworking community on youtube. From there get a couple of good blades for the different cuts you need to make. I never used a DADO stack because my saw wouldn't take one safely, but I would have if I had a different saw. You may have more $$$ in blades and accessories than the saw, but you will be able to tackle almost any project with it.
