Ryobi makes a very compact saw with a stand which gives it more stability: closer to a contractor saw. The small table saws or, portable saws, tend to be less stable and more dangerous to use. One of the last reviews I read, I think in Fine Woodworking, tended to cast them as unsafe. They have improved in the last couple of years and the stand would help it. FWW's latest review from '06 rated the Bosch as best-at $500, at the range of a contractor saw. The Ryobi stand collapses so the saw is easily stored or wheeled around like a hand truck to the spot where you want it set up. That unit was given best value for $200!. As jnewman stated, a good circular saw and straightedge clamp may be fine. There are new saw/straightedge combos that have gotten good reviews. The Festool got a good writeup but, but its pricey and you have to get their saw, too. There is a straightedge unit you can buy on its own for about $80, I can't recall the brand. If only the motor is gone on your Rockwell, it may be worth it to repair it. Finally, check craig's list in your area for a used saw. I got my mint cond. Delta contractor saw with extension, unifence, 1.5 hp motor and accessories for $400. Good luck with your decision.
