If
you're getting into woodworking because you want to build cabinets
and built-ins for your house, your version of the thousand-dollar
shop could be centered around the tablesaw. I have danced around this
topic for a while because although I do have a tablesaw, it isn't one
I would recommend for cabinet work: it's underpowered and has a very
small table which tilts to make angled cuts, so is not safe for
breaking down big sheets of plywood.
The
saw as I found it when I visited the pre-auction inspection. There
was no play in the arbor bearings, no major rust, and the inside was
not caked with old sawdust: all good signs.

Recently that changed, when I had the chance to get an old Delta Unisaw for an excellent price.
