Every woodworker inevitably needs a table saw to complete certain tasks. The type of table saw you buy for these tasks relies on what you use it for. Some are lightweight and mobile, while others are heavy and cumbersome.
The contractor table saw is a lightweight and portable machine, which often has wheels mounted on the base. The top is generally bolted to the base, however if the saw is to be moved regularly a wooden frame will suffice in holding the table saw in place without bolts. The motor on a contractor table saw is made to detach quickly as well. The top, base, and motor fit in any size truck bed with plenty of room to spare.
Reciprocating Saw
The cabinetmaker table saw is a stationary heavy-duty powerhouse, which is made for heavy use day after day. Generally you set one of the bad-boys up one time and hope you like where you located it. It will require a dedicated 220-volt electrical outlet, and a vacuum system for dust removal.
The contractor table saw is made with lightweight material, and thinner metal, while the cabinet table saw is made with cast iron. A table saw motor consists of a large coil of copper wire, which is very heavy. The cabinet table saw motor is generally bigger and heavier adding to the weight of the overall saw.
If you need to move it to the job site you will want to purchase a contractor table saw, but if you use it solely in the shop, the cabinet table saw will be your best bet. If you are just starting out you can probably purchase the contractor saw at first since the cost is a lot less. Eventually the cabinet shop will need a cabinet table saw as a permanent fixture.

Black & Decker RS600K 8.5 Amp Reciprocating Saw Kit With 6-Speed Control Overview
We were pretty fond of this saw's little sibling, the RS500, but Black & Decker has made a couple little changes that make this reciprocating saw one of the best choices a homeowner can make.The homeowner, weekend warrior and avid do-it-yourselfer will love this as much for the price as the power and features. Its beefed-up 8-1/2 amp draw gives it all the juice it needs for whatever task you feed it, whether you're simply making cutouts in drywall or chomping through a pipe. The variable speed is great for the wide variety of projects you'll encounter, from 0 to 2,400 strokes per minute. Also high on our list is the fact that it weighs around 7 pounds -- if you've ever hefted one of the higher-end models, you'll appreciate the light weight, especially noticeable when you're cutting over your head and in other awkward positions.
We were surprised at the generous stroke length on this saw, too, because that means more aggressive cutting and more even blade wear for longer life. Also, you'll really be pleased with the tool-free Quick Clamp blade-change system; it's fast, easy, and foolproof. When you're cutting, you'll notice that the ergonomic rubber grip and the cushioning on the front boot really cut vibration and improve your control. The three-position shoe makes it easier on your arms when you're in awkward spots, too.
We can imagine putting this baby to use doing cutouts in drywall and studs for things like inset cabinets, cutting PVC for all kinds of projects--pipes during renovations, subfloors, joists, framing in a new door--you get the picture. A recip saw is one of the more versatile tools to have in your collection, and this one's a great buy for the homeowner.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
