I've done a heck of a lot of research in choosing a new table saw. I scoured the web for reviews on many different brands. After several months, I finally decided on the Steel City 35670 10" Hybred.

Steel City also makes the Craftsman 22124 Hybred, but reviews mentioned flex in the cabinet when adjusting the blade angle to the stops. Apparently the metal of the cabinet is a little thinner. Not only that, but a 1 year warranty on the Craftsman as opposed to a 5 year on the Steel City clinched the deal.
I got a couple bodies to help me, hitched up the trailer, and we lit on out to Marsh Power Tools, the local toy store. Got it back to my place and put the steel packing crate in the garage. Removed a few bolts and disengaged the saw from the packing frame. Wound up with lots of boxes of goodies.
Following the order of assembly by the manual went pretty smoothly.
You start by removing the packing from the motor, and installing the belt. A simple task.
Opening the accessories box reveals a bunch of goodies.
