I was lucky enough to have started my early years of cabinet and mill work using an old Oliver table saw. I never have felt comfortable using any "portable" table saw as they all seemed so poorly designed and manufactured. I was disappointed many times by the promise of some new fangled sliding table accesory, or the addition of a foldable stand with wheels. The problem simply came down to one thing, the fence would not stay parallel with the blade on any portable saw no matter who manufactured the machine. That was until Dewalt introduced the locking cam and gear fence alignment system with the d744 10" table saw. It is without a doubt the best portable saw on the planet. I've burned up more than four of them over the past ten years, the motor isn't the quietest or the most powerful out there, but the fence stays straight and locks into place parallel to the blade all the time, every time. I have modified the current saw with a duplex cut in electrical box so the saw is also a portible work table as well.
