    Ok I need a little help on a table saw, have a cheap one like the old 99 dollar ones you could buy . I am on a small budget, tight area and need something better to help cut the wood down. Any suggests from a budget minded pocketbook.

    I normally use a miter saw for cross cutting boards. The size and type of miter saw needed depends on the width you want to cut. I have a 12 inch sliding one that can cross cut up to a 2x12.

    Being able to sharpen or adjust tools will increase job satisfaction. Learn the skill with the tool you have and there is nothing you can't achieve with smaller affordable tools.
    thanks so much!

    I have a portable rigid that can be folded up and rolled out of the way. It seems like it was in the $400 range.
