What's one of the best electric table saws that would be good for cutting out shelves and woodwork trim?

I'm wanting to buy one that is easy to use since I haven't had alot of experience using one.

Any tips would be appreciated!

It depends on what quality of finish you want. You dont have to pay top dollar to get a good machine.A few important things when you are buyi a machine.
1/ size of the motor more hp will cut easier
2/ Ease of moving and locking guide
3/ Weight of machine lightness is usually achieved by using plastic parts.

Ryobi makes a decent machine for not a lot of money.I would suggest you go on the web to consumer reports or to your library and get a comparsion report on different machines.This has never steered me wrong.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

I have a portable Bosch and I love it. More important than a saw is the quality of blade you use...especially for trim work. A million dollar saw with a crappy blade makes for some lousy finish work. When i look at saws my biggest concern is the rip fence and its ability to self align/parallel the blade. This is where my Bosch rules good luck and keep all fingers.

for the projects you mentioned I use a good jig saw, girlie tool and I love it. I have made chairs, shelves, molding, cupboard doors, benches all with a jig saw. A table saw can be dangerous if you don't know how to use one, you can kick back a board and get hurt. Your choice.

look around home depot there are so many but keep it simple and make sure you have someone that has used table saw's before show you how to use them in a safe manor as they are power tools and in untrained hands can be dangerous they can saw tho flesh alot easier than wood !!

friend of mine just bought one the other day from harbor freight and i couldn't believe how good a saw it was (think he paid around 100 for it. other wise try garage sales or just good deals at Sears or Lowe's, sometimes places like Sears and Lowe's and Home depot get in returned tools and sell them cheap
