also cathy the dewalt will make cuts the festool cant and the dewalt stand is the best out there where the festool doesn’t offer a good stand imo. the festool has variable speed for cutting non ferrous metals and is a bit more accurate but not 800 dollars more accurate. it does have a better dust control. another saw you may consider is the mafell erica 70ec push pull saw 2700.00 bucks , its a push pull saw and a tablesaw all in one weighs about 75 pounds and folds up so its very portable and has a brushless motor belt drive and variable speed and is so quiet that you can hardly here it run. mafell invented festool and is part of the holzer company in germany. i want one really bad and thats going to be my next tool.
