David,
Why not just a Skill saw if you are cutting mostly stakes? With 220V, are you talking about a stationary saw? For portability, A Bosch or Makita 10" saw would be my choice. Buy them with the saw stand. Cutting on the floor or on top of some make shift table is no fun. For a larger table, or cabinet 10" saw, a Powermatic or SawStop would be first on my list. With those saws, there's no bogging down as thick materials are cut. Almost any blade will do for rough cutting, but there are advantages on the tooth configurations. From what you said, a combination Alternate Top Bevel, known in the industry as ATB blade with a "Raker" (usually a flat top grind, FTG tooth for fast removal of material will work well for you. Freud makes an ok combo blade for general use. Best bang for the money IMO.
