Is the 36-600 similar to the TS-350? Sounds like a similar TS with the
cast iron extensions, but the TS-350 has an induction motor. Lowes is
clearing those out and I wondered if it was a good saw for a beginner
for the price.

The one my local Lowes carries has stamped wings and a not-so-great
fence.
My local supply shop has the CS with the 30" Beis fence for about as
much more as you'd pay for an aftermarket Beis fence.
