I have the cheap 10 inch Delta table saw, which I believe I paid $99 for. I don't know if that included the legs or not, but I do have the legs as well. I bought it at Lowes but don't know if they still carry Delta. I bought this saw about 10 years ago and have never had a single problem with it. It has an adjustment wheel to raise and lower the blade, it will cut through a 4x4, and it has an adjustment for titling the blade up to 45 degrees. Over the years, I've used the saw hundreds of hours and have certainly gotten my moneys worth and I still use it to this day.
It is accurate enough for most all handyman jobs. Of course, I wouldn't use it to build a piece of fine furniture, but for everything else, I consider it to be very accurate. And you can't beat the price.

It's a ten-inch saw with a pretty accurate fence and considered contractor grade. I paid about $300 at Home Depot for it. For $249, you could get a Ryobi which does have legs and is a little larger table surface. I opted for the Dewalt mainly cause of space and I liked the fence on it. I would stay away from the $99 Delta which is very light duty, I didn't much care for the Skill and don't believe based on what I've heard from folks they make the quality product they used too. Others will have their own suggestions/opinions, but there's mine for what it's worth.
