Decided to branch out into woodworking, going to try to make some Arts and
Crafts style furniture.

What are the key decision factors in buying a table saw?  Want to go with my
recent philosophy of buying the last one first, so need to get the right
blend of quality and price.  I'm looking at a King, 10" floor model, with
about a 30" by 60" cast iron top, 1hp motor for $550 CDN.  Store also has
Delta, about the same size, 3/4hp but with stamped steel top for about the
same price.  I've heard of Delta, not King, but both saws are made in Orient
(not japan) so quality may be similar.

Any suggestions?  Any critical features?

TIA, Brian
