   Saw

   The posts sometimes get hung up but I'm able to report they are repairing the problems ASAP - don't be discouraged. 

   After reading your thoughts against....... I'm not convinced you have a great reason not to get a cabinet saw.  Look at the unisaw - you'll never regret that purchase.

   re: Good Contractor Table Saw

   The spam filter may have thought you were posting an ad for one (as opposed to an ad for purses or shoes, which it lets through). If you aren't a spammer, contact LisaMorgan to be put on the "trusted users" list, so you'll bypass the filter. To contact her, click on Members in the left-hand menu, enter her user name, and once her profile is displayed, click on the send-a-message link at the bottom of the profile.

   Some will consider your question to be an oxymoron, or a non sequitur. Depending on the nature of the woodworking you do, however, I think there really is a place for a contractor's saw. I've been using a '70s-vintage Delta 9" contractor saw (yes, that's 9", not 10") for about 40 years. Would I prefer a new Unisaw? You bet. But the little contractor saw has served me reasonably well, and has been much easier to move around.

   So, that said, if you can find an old Delta (via Craig's List, etc.)  that hasn't been abused, that would be a good start. I have no experience with newly-manufactured contractor's saws, so I'm reluctant to make any recommendations.
