    a table saw for me is indispensable. i build midcentury modern furniture as a hobby and also work with sheet acrylic. when shopping for saws, the Sawstop cabinet saw was a no brainer. i had no problem paying the premium for the safety feature as opposed to saving money on other saws without the safety technology. having said that, i use it much less now that I have a couple of track saws which can do many things a tables saw can do but safer and more accurately. I say more accurately because a table saw has to be properly trued to be as accurate as possible whereas tracksaws are simply placed on the track and you're up and running. One is a Festool TS75 I use for ripping thick hardwood and the other is a Mafell MT55 that I use to rip hardwood at times but mostly plywood. The Mafell is superior to Festool's equivalent but then again Mafell tools are superior in general but they're not cheap.

    I make midcentury modern furniture and own a SawStop cabinet saw which has exceeded my expectations. Lots of good advice from Oldgoat as well.
    I now own Festool and Mafell track saws and use my table saw a lot less now. They’re obviously great for breaking down sheet goods but also excel at jointing, cutting long angles, trimming doors, and other things. The Mafell is superior to Festool but the Festool (TS75)
    has a little greater depth of cut as it’s their larger model.
    Also use a Domino 700 quite a bit and is a huge time saver for loose tenon joints.
