Table saw recommendations

Hi
Looking to buy a table saw for longitudinal cuts mainly for wood and occasionally Upvc and plastic.
I am looking for a budget priced for a diyer, any suggestions?

Thanks

The Titan one at Screwfix is a generic model that is sold in many company colours and names. Probably of Chinese origin, the SF one has a two-year guarantee and for £99 is good value.https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb763 ... tid=372757 I have a similar one that does all I want. I tweaked it a bit to get it cutting true but that was me being anal.

Is it easy to use for someone new to circular saws?

I would say so. You have to be careful with any saw and much of it is being alert and planning your cuts.

The question was about table saw , different to Circular saws

What sort of size of wood are you cutting , 8'x4' sheets on a table saw ????

you mention Upvc & plastic - what sort of size sheets and what size cuts ?

@etaf How is the mater being cut? Circular saw fixed onto a table, no?

No it won't that big, smaller sheets, for making boxings, shelves and small projects.
Same for plastic

in general below 6"/150mm wide far easier more accurate and safer on a table saw
cutting with a hand held saw requires the work to be fully supported and clamped down unless weight enough like a 1/4 plus to full sheet will hold in place
loads off sheet material hand saw and bench to support at least 80%
long thin stuff below say 50mm up to 150mm table saw with enough support fore and aft to stop lifting on the table
