Might anyone here have experience of these?

Everyone loves a tax rebate!

I for the dewalt site table saw and its incredible and takes up much less space than a standing variant. The functionality is more than enough for ripping up to 30 inches or so.

This is the one I have ... never let me down, had it about 10 years and it wasn't new when I got it .. with a blocking piece will cut almost to veneers with accuracy.

Downsides .. no T slots, but the fence, once set up, is firm and accurate and there is a sldiing mitre fence with a locating rail that works well. Good dust extraction port and it does need a dust extractor.

The blade rise and fall mechanism is a handwheel geared to the point where from top to bottom takes forever.

The blade guard is a nuisance - easily solved but not recommended.

I got mine for £60 ... next to my bandsaw it's my go-to saw for just about everything.

Changing the blade is painful and time consuming.
 
Well I joined a FB woodworking group and a number of people on there have one and raved about it so yesterday the card got used. Should arrive tomorrow.

The current table is a cheapie from screwfix and it is incapable of maintaining accuracy and as I cut a lot of half lap joints it's a complete pisser. Especially when cutting insulation for various jobs.

I will report on how it performs after some testing.
