What's a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can't really tell much a difference. I'm tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances...

Anyone have a specific recommendation for someone who is only occasionally playing around with simple carpentry?

That looks real nice but feels like it's too expensive for my use. Guess I'll be shopping used.

I don't trust myself to cut straight with a track saw, otherwise it sounds like a good idea.

A track saw is rigidly mounted to the track. As long as you clamp the track square, you should be good to go.
