Having had a pro shop with Unisaw and Biesmeyer fence etc it was tough for me to decide what to do after being without. The problem with sawboards and jigs is how much easier it is to open another brew and watch the NFL then get them out.
I bought the Ryobi that comes with built in folding legs and wheels. Its a direct drive universal motor which means noisy and not too powerful but it cuts MDF and plywood just fine. And as a bonus the cheap little fence is surprisingly accurate. It fits in the hall closet and wheels out to the patio in seconds.
And yes you can build the Fostex backhorns. Question is, 'why would you want to'?
