For the most part I think we all can agree it is not going to be used in a cabinet shop or for intricate woodcraft.
It is built so a first time buyer can get the basics down and maybe grow into a better cabinet saw when they get better.
And a sweet cabinet saw is the best feeling

Should I spend $60 on this one or get something more substantial that I can grow into?
This is looks like a good value, as others have said, but as a somewhat experienced woodworker, I wouldn't recommend it. The main pro is the price, which is indeed low. Cons are the small 8-1/4" blade ( 10" is pretty standard and will give you tons of blade options), and the fences on pretty much all bargain table saw are basically garbage, I've had great luck buying tools off of Craigslist, and there are always bigger and better saws available here for $50-$100. If you want to invest a bit in something that will last you as your skills progress, you might find something really nice for $200 or so on CL. Or if you want to get serious and money is no problem, $3000 will get you a nice, big pro/enthusiast-grade saw that will handle full sheets with ease.
