So, what do you do when you have to rip some fence boards a little narrower, adjust some siding... ??
I'd want both. It's just that the table saw will do things the chop won't but not the other way around.
I agreed that you could do more with the table saw. Just saying with the type of work he is planning on doing most of his cuts would be quickest with a chop saw.
I personaly would use a worm drive circular saw for amost all of it. It is light enough to take anywhere you need it and with a little practice you can make all the cuts you need for all your projects. It just takes a little more proficiency with the tool.

I am in need of a power saw to help speed up my projects. I can only afford one at the moment though.
I cant decide between a table saw and a chop saw.
I am going to be building a fence, re-siding a portion of the house, and framing in (2) closets.
Any input?
Good luck doing the finish work on those closets with a skill saw. Actually, I'd feel really hamstrung without all three saws, but a table saw is the first thing to go into a wood shop.
fancy!
nothing I have is that nice haha! I have the 1/2"x3" trim, so I need 4 miter cuts
with a circular saw I am just worried about getting straight cuts on the siding and fence work. I figured a chop saw would be best but got to thinking I have used a table saw many time in the past and got to thinking it would be a more versatile tool in the long run.
with a circular saw I have trouble cutting straight lines in a 2x4
table saw it is then.. I will not be going crazy with wood working, so I will buy the table saw for now then maybe get more saws later as required.
now the question is how good of a saw should I get? I mean will a harbor freight do the job just as well as a dewalt? again I am not a crazy woodworker, just a diy kinda guy, and a table saw fits the bill for my current projects.
