What owners single out
In their words
“I’m no carpenter and only piddle around the house and so forth but this is a serious saw. First high end saw for me and it’s very impressive power. Cut treated boards and it never slowed or dropped the rpms. It’s quiet which I like and love it for being left handed. Finally can use a saw without getting saw dust all over me. Acceptable weight. Stock 24 tooth blade cut better than the heavy duty De”

“Used very little and the saw bit the dust within 3 month and Homedepot will not take back without buying extended warranty. Would not even recommend to a weekend warrior. So spend a little extra and buy a Makita.”
