I just bought the Ridgid. A bit pricey, but seems okay out of the box. Not a 12" SCM sliding table, but very good as far as portables go. The stand appears friendlier than the Ryobi (shudder) and the Bosch. Time will tell. Mine won't get that much use..and hey, 3 year warranty.

I don't see any mention of what you plan on cutting, or how often. That could make a difference. Hell, circular saw, sawguide, and saw horses, could do it.

Greetings,
I bought a Ryobi last year for just such uses. I keeps its trueness well enough, and is light enough to put into the back of an old wagon. I often mount it, on site, on a workmate.
