Are there any decent Table Saws for $250-$350???

Check around for something used. I just picked up a 8" Craftsman which was made in 1948.

I have a Bosch 4000 and I agree completely with this post.

I agree, used is the way to go. I found a 1970s Craftsman contractor's saw, and bought it for $100. I've used it a few times per week for 5 years now. I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford any saw I want, but I haven't felt the need to replace this one.

A Jet or Delta would be nicer of course, but not 2 or 3 times nicer, given the used price difference. If it's in your budget though, I'm sure you'd be better off with one of those nicer brands.
