The sheets I cut are not very big and I use recycle wood from different factories. That is why I do not need a large and heavy table saw.
Yesterday I bought that little Dewalt from Bunnings. Actually it is not little at all. I found both 1850W and 2000W Dewalt saws at Just Tools and compared them in the shop. I found that 2000W saw is too big for my garage and my particular task. They had 1850W saw for $790 plus a bonus blade.
Then I traveled to Bunnings and talked to the tool section manager. I asked him what was the reason they increased the cost of that saw from $745 to $845 just overnight. By the way there was a man from Dewalt at Bunnings and I asked him as well about that saw. He stated that Dewalt didn't increase any price at all.
Then I showed to the manager of Bunnings the cost of that saw at Just Tools. He called to another boss and they bit Just Tolls price by 10%. So, I had that saw for around $710.
I took it home and unpacked. I watched a few U tube videos before, so it took me no more then 15-20 minutes to assemble everything. The main question was about the noise. I plugged it in and switched on. The noise was absolutely terrible and even louder then I expected. But I will use it maximum of up to 1 hour a day, so I hope my neighbors wouldn't kill me.
Tomorrow I will need to buy an adapter to connect this saw to the dust extractor. Also I need to find a good blade as this saw comes with a basic D254 mm X 24T ripping blade. Probably I need a blade with 60-80T or maybe even 100. I will need to cut double sided laminated 15-20mm MDF or chipboard. Any suggestions ?
That's my first table saw, so I need to learn and learn.

you could look at these blades
CMT 80 tooth laminate blade Circular saw blades: laminate and chipboard, industrial line - CMT Tools
Freud 80 tooth laminate balde Freud Tools | 10" Double Sided Laminate/Melamine Blade
this Irwin selection chart should also help http://www.irwin.com/uploads/cms/fil...rt_Marples.pdf
Sorry I can't help with a Melbourne supplier or Aus pricing -- but last time I bought a very good blade, it cost me around $1 per toothregards from Alberta, Canada

Thanks for your links. I like this particular blade:
Freud Tools | 10" Double Sided Laminate/Melamine Blade
I made a research but couldn't find it here in Australia. I do not know if they sell anything simulator here. Irwin also recommends 84T blade for double sided laminate but they do not sell this blade here as well.

DEWALT DW745 table saw
A toilet cistern to pan rubber seal fits these saws as an adapter. You'll need a hose clamp as well.
