Best saw of them all

I have used the Makita, Bosch, and Ridgid but the DeWalt by far has the best readable degree markings. I also like the large radius base which better supports the material although the ridgid does have a bigger base.

Pros
Easy readable markings, Lots of power. Wide table base
Cons
Weight, No pos stops for bevel

After all, why should you have to buy another circular saw if you already own one, especially if it's a saw you really like? Who needs Festool when you can make a track saw with your own circular...

DeWalt Miter Saw Flips Into a Table Saw

DeWalt Miter Saw Flips Into a Table Saw
Category: News

We have seen a couple of combination miter/table saws now enjoying freedom in the U.K., one from Bosch with a table mounted on top of a miter saw, and one from Makita that flips to transform. Now it is DeWalt's turn to join in on the fun with their very own flipping combination transformation miter/table saw.
