Best table saws for a home workshop

Top pick: SawStop Jobsite Saw Pro (JSS-120A60). For a home workshop it's the best balance of a real 10-inch saw, a solid fence and the safety system that stops the blade on skin contact — the one upgrade worth paying for if you'll be teaching kids or working tired.

Who the others suit:

• SawStop Contractor Saw — a stationary saw for a dedicated shop bench; more cast-iron stability, less moving around.
• SKILSAW SPT99-11 — the value workhorse: strong motor, big rip capacity, well reviewed.
• Bosch 10" Worksite — proven jobsite accuracy if you also need to take it to a build.
• Milwaukee M18 FUEL 8-1/4" — cordless convenience for a garage with limited outlets.
• Skil 10" Jobsite — a sensible first saw on a tight budget.
• F2 Fusion — a full cabinet saw for a permanent shop.
• Skip the tiny 8-inch benchtop models: fine for trim, frustrating for furniture.
