I agree with Rich. You don't want a sloppy saw for things like flooring,
that's a shortcut to buying something twice.
I have a Ridgid chop saw and it's too flexy for fine work. I would buy a used
(or new) DeWalt/Porter Cable and sell it when you're done. My next saw will be
a compound mitre- I'm older and wiser and now believe in buying the right tool
once, no matter how small the job; I can always use it *somewhere*.
You said you have blades, but that's the workhorse of any saw so be sure
they're in top notch condition. I spent more on my blades $59 than I did on my
portable table saw ($39 floor model).
