When you're done messing with toys, buy this... [Posted on 2006-12-31]
Folks,

I used an off-brand import 10" from Rexon for about a year and a half. It was adequate for its price, but could never be adjusted accurately. In fact, the whole frame could easily be warped by just the slightest nudge.

After a lot of research, I decided on this Metabo and have never regretted it. The smaller blade and induction motor make for a much quieter, more stable cut. And the sliding action means I can cut wider stock than with the 10".

As well, unlike the similar Dewalt model, I can trench with this, just like a radial arm saw..

I've fitted mine with an Avenger laser guide, although in retrospect I wish I'd bought the Metabo stock one for this unit. As well, I bought the Metabo clamp, which is a must.

Well engineered, well made and backed by a great warranty that I'll likely never have to use.
