Does anyone have a table saw I can borrow for a few days? I'll gladly freshen up the blade in return (maybe return it with some beer), or I'll return the favor with some auto tools.

A portable/benchtop unit would be ideal. This is just for ripping the plank floor pieces that we'll be installing this weekend.

I suppose if it has basic miter functions that would be cool too (we have to cut a few 45 deg pieces).

Scott - Why not a miter (chop) saw? Just curious what advantages a table saw would have.

I have a nice chop saw you can borrow indefinitely. I bought it when building my garage and haven't used it since. I think it would be perfect for what you need.

I'll be home most of the weekend.

We'll need to rip some planks, which measure about 12"x30". It's not practical to make 30" cuts with a miter saw.
