Hi:
I am hardly an expert myself and will be intereseted in what some others have to say here.I think it is quite hard to get what you want unless you stumble onto something used and then tweak it a little. My home brew answers were always slow and a bit awkward. To get really good cuts, without a lot of set up time, you need a steady and large table and steady blade and a square fence. A lot to ask at your price point. My answer was to buy my big pieces from a lumber yard in town that does a lot of custom work. They make the first cuts and bring it down to a size for the project where my smaller table can handle them nicely. This solution was just to easy to bother with anything else. I will never have the table they use. Handling full sheets by yourself on typical home ($500 table) equipment is not easy.
