In general, If I need to cut off more than its capacity, I'm using a circular saw with a track or straight edge.
As for the price, I wasn't aware it was so high. I paid $350 for it. I think it was a holiday sale or something like that.

It wasn't $500 when I got it. I think it was $350 at the time. Although it might have just been on sale.

This is the one I have. I take the batteries out of it after each use, otherwise it drains it. That's my only complaint with it.
I inherited an old Delta table saw from the 80's. The fence on it was in horrible shape when I got it. After a ton of research, I ended up getting the Shop Fox W2005 Classic Fence with Standard Rails.
The fence itself is great. Slides easy. Locks in place and stays there. Easy to adjust.
It took a little time to get aligned properly. After messing with it for a day or so, I bought guage to ensure it is 1/128" off square from the miter slot. Once it was set, I've had no issues.
Overall, I highly recommend it, if it is in your budget.
Of course not. There is also hair styles, acessories, and makeup... I meant beer, football, and boobs.
Watching someone dig a hole. Or standing by the side of a hole that was just dug and commenting about the hole. Or watching construction work in a previously dug hole.
We seem to just like holes. We are simple creatures.
Let me get this straight. You were made fun of by a guy who works for Disney. An organization that's ridiculously protective of their brand and famous for not being fucked with. One of the most litigious organizations, with an army of lawyers who know more about entertainment law than anyone on the planet. And you're plan is to sue these people? Good luck.
What about iron swords, bronze swords, or sticks with rocks tied to the end? Asking for a friend.
The 50 to 60 hour week over multiple jobs does happen. However that is not the average nor the norm. Though I'm sure you were using it for effect more than an actual data-point.
According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, for 2023, the average American works 38.5 hours per week. If you drop part-time workers (<35 hrs / wk), a full-time worker does an average of 41.9 hours.
Fear and caution are not the same thing.
Do you really think the US has any real concern about being attacked? There is plenty to say about US policies, both good and bad. Part of that is the nearly $1T per year spent on the military. I don't think you'll find many credible people who think attacking the US will be good for whoever does it.
Attacking the US has been, historically, one thing that tends to unite the country. We - Americans - like building shit and we like fighting people. We never stop building new weapons. But when there is no-one to fight, we fight each other. There is a huge social divide in the US right now. You want to fix that, attack us.

I will echo the Bondo route that others suggested. The big box hardware stores sell quart cans of general purpose Bondo in the paint aisle.
Cut out the vaneer over the bad area with a razor blade or box cutter.
Sand with 80 or 120 grit to remove any loose bits of the board. The particle board will crumble a little, but it will be fine. Just dont go overboard. Vacuum it to remove most dust.
Using a flexible putty knife, get one to two globs of Bondo on a clean piece of cardboard. Don't do too much as you will have about 5 minutes of working time once the hardener is added. Follow the instructions on how much hardener to add, you wont need much. Fold the hardener into the Bondo with the putty knife until it is a uniform color.
Spread the bondo over the area you cut out. Try to get it smooth, but dont overwork it. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Using 60 or 80 grit paper, sand it as it starts to dry. If it is gumming up the paper, it is still too wet to sand, give it another minute or two and try again. You are shaping it with this step. If you let it completely dry, it is hard as a rock and more difficult to sand.
Once it is in a good shape, switch to the next step up for sanding and repeat (60 to 80 to 120 to 180 to 220). Do not skip gits or you will just make work for yourself. You can probably stop at 180, but since it is next to vaneer, i'd go to 220. Again, if it is gumming the paper, wait a few minutes. Once you are at 220, use it to sand the entire cabinet to rough up the surface and accept primer better.
Once sanded, wipe the entire cabinet down with a tac cloth. I also recommend wiping the cabinets with a wax and greese remover so everything will stick better.
Now it is time for primer and paint. For a smooth finish, use a good quality foam mini-roller and foam brush for tighter areas.
Prime the cabinet using any water-based primer; killz is pretty good. They make an oil based that would be better, but will smell up your whole house, so I don't recommend it unless you have excellent ventilation.
Lightly sand the peimer once it is fully dried with 220. If any spot is too light, do a second coat. Wipe up the dust.
Paint with an alkyd paint. Do at least 2 coats.
Not necessary, but if you want extra protection, you could use a foam brush (not a roller here) and do 3 to 4 coats of a water-based polyurethane on top of the paint. It might be overkill for what you want though.
This might seem like a lot, but you will have a great finish when done. Also, fair warning, Bondo has a strong smell. Open a window.
