RIDGID 15 Amp 10 in. Table Saw with Folding Stand-R4518 - The Home Depot

There is a huge old tablesaw along with an old bandsaw in the CL search. The table saw is rusted, but I would love to see it work again. But I'm thinking I'd spend all my time restoring it, which doesn't sound like the end of the world.

What is a stop kit?

The two new saws are worlds apart. The Rigid is intended to be transported to job sites. If you have room for it the Delta is the easy hands down choice. The wheels give you nice easy movement in the shop. But the really big deal is the fence. The Delta has a Biesemeyer style fence. It won't be up the the standard of a Biesemeyer but its likely a real step up from what you find on most saws in that price range. I have a Rigid in that price range. It's OK but I'd like a better fence. The kit listed below is what many do to upgrade their fence. It's about the price of the Delta saw. There's a reason for paying the price.
Look for some reviews on that Delta to verify people like the fence. If the answer is yes, you will love it.
The table saw is the core piece in woodworking. Don't go cheap. Focus on the fence.
