axial glide saw

I've more often than not liked my Bosch tools...and this one will be dedicated to my shop(too damn heavy to move anyway)..it is incredibly smooth..good dust collection for a bag..it's not worth attaching dust collector as both leave some dust anyway..goood positive stops..I paid $649 for it and that was the most I though it should cost..I sold two other saws to justify this purchase..

Pros
fit and finish great..calibrations were as well
Cons
if bolted to your bench in a shop setting the mitre will work fine up up close to a wall,however to mitre at 45 and bevel at 22.5 plus, you will need 3" away from the wall to alow for the motor(left hand bevel) and handle(right hand bevel)..net gain over a slider is mabey 5"..

Quick Tip: Homemade Pegboard Screwdriver Holder
Category: Editorial

In an effort to better organize my home workspace I decided that I needed to get some of my non-work tools out of boxes/bags and into places where I could more easily access the ones I use most. My solution was simple, and probably the same solution that many of you use, pegboard. A full sheet of pegboard is cheap, and with the right hooks and attachments, you can organize a good portion of your tools. Next all I needed was pegboard hooks. Lucky for me, my Father had a box full of them that he let me dig...
