Here's my table saw:
Powermatic 1792010K. 5hp, 10" with the 50" Accu-Fence system.
As far as a miter saw, I would highly recommend you spend the extra money on a SLIDING COMPOUND miter saw. You can do so much more with those than a cheapie chop saw. Here's mine:
I'd suggest this one, it's a little nicer and newer. It's 12" whereas mine is only 10"
Oh, another fantastic tool is an ORBITAL "sawzall" (reciprocating saw). I have an older Milwaukee regular Sawzall and I borrowed a friend's Porter Cable orbital reciprocating saw and WOW, what a difference! Here's the one you need. model 6536-21:
I'm a huge fan of Milwaukee brand power tools, it's pretty much the only brand I buy. My 3/8" drill, my 1/2" D-handle drill, my palm sander, rotary hammer drill, Sawzall are all Milwaukee brand tools. I will admit though that I have a Porter Cable power planer (door hanging kit), a Porter Cable 3/8" right angle drill, a Freud biscuit jointer, a Skil worm drive circular saw (model 77 I think?) and a Ryobi palm sander (which is a piece of $hit) and a couple of Craftsman sanders (which also suck). My cheapie router is a Porter Cable, it's "okay" it does the job.
