I have recently come across some nice wood (juniper) to build a deck and make into interior walls in my pool hall. Problem is I do not have many tools! The wood has gone to a mill but is still pretty rough cut and not finished. I am conflicted on ripping the would to size or using a binder. The wood is 20 feet long and varies in width.

20" long???
Let the mill cut your planks both to size,
and to a convenient length.
You won't be happy with what you get trying
to DIY this one with any table saw you can
reasonably afford.
You can then do the rest of the work with
a good mitre saw.

To case windows you should be ok. The biggest problem I had with my cheap table saw was the rip capacity, and the fence. The 100-200 dollar saws have unreliable fences, that tend to move while cutting. If that is all you are looking to do with the table saw is trim windows it will be fine, but if down the road you could see yourself doing bigger projects, I would look at a contractors saw with a solid fence

Take a look at Delta table saws. You can find free shipping from various sites, such as amazon and burns tools.

My suggestion would be to have the mill put it through a "4 sider" so that they are uniform thickness and width.
Buy yourself a circular saw as that would be better for cutting them to length.

Go to craigslist.com if you want to use the internet, but try to stay local for heavy items like table saws... otherwise, shipping will cost too much.
Better to check estate sales, garage sales, pawn shops, and thrift stores...

Home Depot has some good sales. It sounds like you might want a planer as well.
