Canadian Tire's table saw is on sale this week for $174.99.
Seems like a good deal.
Any reviews on this saw?

I had one for a few weeks. I found that the fence was not accurate enough - it would twist and move with large pieces of wood. I returned mine and bought one from sears for about $200 regularly about $400 and like it much better. However, the manual and the deck appear to be very much the same so they may both be manufactured by the same company for CT and Sears.

I bought one of these in January for $199.
I like it and agree with the comments about quesitonable accuracy with the fence. I tend to ignore the measurements and measure manually anyway.
Overall I am very pleased with the table saw and it is stable, no problems yet.

No it is this one. The legs are more stable but no sawdust catcher. All three sides have extentions. It also came with two blades.

15 amp, 3HP, 10" blade. No stand, though.
It also doesn't have the extensions, making it more difficult to cut larger pieces of wood. Pretty good price, however.
