I HAVE USED ONE OF THESE SAWS FOR 4 YEARS. IT IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST. IT WAS RATED THE BEST 10 INCH SAW FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT. THIS YEAR THERE IS A SAW THAT WAS RATED HIGHER BUT IT COST 1200.00. SO, THIS YEAR ..08.. IT IS RATED THE BEST SAW FOR THE MONEY. I BELEIVE THIS SAW CAN BE SERVICED AT 2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS HERE IN THE USA. THE SAW BLADE IS ALSO TOPS. IN A SHOP SITUATION YOU MAY WANT ONE SAW FOR ROUGH LUMBER AND ANOTHER FOR FINISH WORK.

From the picture I’m surprised the saw works as well as you say. But it is pretty. ;-)

Well that’s definitely a better picture than the other review of this product.

where do you mount the blade? I can see why the dust collection is inferior!

Grumpygramps – do they give you a hard time all the time? I agree – this is a great saw. Very accurate cuts.

I bought the 10” sliding Makita back in 94 to replace a Sears Radial junk and it has been a precision tool always a pleasure to use (say it every time), still have not changed the blade after thousands of cuts the surface is square and mirror finish you would scratch it if you sanded the cut!....hard to belive but true. Can not speak of the new ones but my old one is sweet money well spent it was not cheap but well worth it
