WE PURCHASED THIS SAW THROUGH AMAZON ON THE 5TH OF DECEMBER, OR THERE ABOUTS, AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. AS SOON AS WE RECIEVE IT, OR OUR MONEY RETURNED, I WILL CORRECT THIS, BUT AS OF THIS TIME, I WOULD NOT PURCASE ANYTHING FROM "SENTIMENTAL COLLECTABLES," ON AMAZON OR EBAY.L GRACE AMAZON HAS BEEN WONDERFUL TRYING TO HELP US RESOLVE THIS, BUT AS TO THIS DAY, JANUARY 6, 2009, AND AFTER SENDING "SENTIMENTAL COLLECTBLES" AT LEAST 3 EMAILS ENQUIRING ABOUT THIS PRODUCT, ONE THROUGH AMAZON, WE HAVE HAD NO REPLY. THEY HAVE CASHED OUR CREDIT CARD AND HAVE THE MONEY, BUT NO EXPLINATION AS TO WHERE THE SAW IS.
if you need it buy it. if you need to cut over 3 inches deep this is the best deal out there. it is a good cutting saw.
One didn't last the job and the other I gave up on on the next job trying to cut 4 30' 45degree rips, again in Douglas Fir. The next 10 1/4" saw I had was (I think) a Skil and I was very happy with it, cutting a lot of 2 1/2" rips in tropical hardwoods, but its not made anymore.I was thinking of biting the bullet and buying one of the 220 volt German versions when a job came up where I had to have a 10" saw immediately so my choice was Milwaukee again or Makita. Don't bother with this saw for long rips especially if they can be done with a smaller saw.I owned one of these years ago and hated it. The Makita is only 12 amps so I foolishly bought two Milwaukees. I finished the second job with a 7 1/4" Skil cutting in one pass. What I had to do was make 4 60' long 45degree rips in Douglas Fir.These did have to be done from both sides because it was about a 4 1/2" cut.
Bought the saw to be able to cut through 3.75 inch panels. Saw works great.
It is mounted to the saw at the front with no mounting at the rear like most saws. I give this saw a 1 star, but I give the storage box 5 stars, very nice and sturdy. I am a general contractor with several framers. Some of the box design should have gone into the saw. The base plate on this saw is useless. I made one cut and put it back in the box for return. You can move the rear of the base plate with your hand up and down 1/2" with ease.
I bought this saw because of the 15 amp motor which is more than the big foot. It is so unstable it will never stay true. Can I keep the box. My framers would destroy this saw in days.
