   I have a Bosch and I love it.  The fence is all ways true.  I have a Basement shop and use this table saw.  But I also am a trim carpenter and need to take the saw to work and it is very portable. 

   So if you have limited space I would go for the Bosch.  For the portability and the accuracy of the saw.

   but if cost is not an object go with a contractors saw or cabinet saw.  With a cast iron top you will only have to buy a saw once in your and any children's life time.

   The bosch sounds good. I have heard that many parts are plastic on the bosch. Does the bosch portable saw vibrate very much? How about the ridgid. Does it vibrate very much? I like the stand on the ridgid better than on the bosch. Are there any features that stand above the other on one of them?

   I don't know much about the Bosch or Ridgid saws, but I have owned the DeWalt portable table saw for a few years and have been extremely pleased with it.  The rack & pinion fence system is an excellent design compared to most portable saws I have used in the past.
