You are in the right region.

what do you want to do with it? do you want a table saw or a panel saw? how much work will it do? If you don't really need one I find that a sliding table tends to get in the way.

I wouldn't bother with that machine for ripping down full sheets. I've owned a carbatec knock off of it. It made me money, but it was a struggle working with full sheets on it. I bought a Casolin astra with a 3.2M slider on Ebay a few years ago and it's been great. I would love to upgrade to something with a programmable rip fence and digital read outs on the cross cut fence but that's a while off yet. I've looked at the panel saw offerings at Carbatec and they're good value, with reasonable to good quality, depending which model. Before commiting to purchasing one though, a trip to see them in the flesh would be in order.
