u guys can buy black and decker but if u buildin on a regular scale it "will" let u down in time.... Twisted Evil

I see most 7 1/4" saw come with 18T, i guess i'll buy a 40T

And nah i won't be using it on a regular scale, jus hobby building, a weekend warrior.

Could you tell me the average price on a Dewalt?

know some1 who bought a dewalt last yr & he paid $850 i think - never used their p\saw but on d whole DEWALT is a very durable well made brand close in quality to MILWAUKEE (whose quality i like even more) but dewalt is priced a bit more reasonable....if fact i have a metal chop saw from them going on almost 10yrs (used to be a welder yrs ago) , 3/8" keyless chuck dril & a sander\polisher ...all dewalt

well for my preference i like using d edge of a level since like i said cant get straighter than that & mine cost me less than a 100 think i paid $60 for it

IMO - B&D p\saws good for d home user who may use it now\then for small projects
if u doing carpentry for a living d B&D wont last as long as d higher end brands ...like said above using d correct blade is d key

Router - well i got 2 ...a B&D which works alright but i feel it can be better
got a PORTER CABLE mini laminate trimmer\min router - works rel sweet for smaller jobs

yes u can use table extensions on a compact tablesaw it will take up some garage space though .....

Rovin, loundsound etc...

I getting this Makita 5740NB for $1100

http://www.makita.com/menu.php?pg=product_det&tag=5740NB

Is it a good saw?...think it's worth the extra $$ over the Black & Decker?

I see it comes with a rip fence

Yeh a rip fence is used to keep the saw running straight along your mark line.

I think i'll go with the Black & Decker

well B&D \ skil \ reg series craftsman are all in d home use catagory

where as makita \ dewalt \ milwaukee \ bosch \ ported cable etc in d better built catagory - good for builders\contractors

that rip fence doesnt seem very usefull for wide wood in box building - they probably have it as incentive to buy like how B&D has d laser thing

if u can still get a dewalt for $850 like how they were priced last yr i would buy that for sure - check by bhags

btw - i use a reg craftsman p\saw in my box work ..its about 5-6yrs old ..a bit bulkily built but at d time was either that or B&D ...if i had to buy id pick a heavier built brand ....

The Makita had some recall issue years ago with the blade guard, i think they fix that now though.

Note mentioning though, the Dewalt n Black & Deckers carry a 3 month warranty from Bhags

While the MAkita has 1 year from WHS

I concur...good thread.

Dewalt is actually Black & Decker's high end line. I find it still has a "cheapy" feel to it tho'.

If considering high end I always go for Milwaukee and/or Porter Cable. Makita is damn good as well. Dem t'ing is "never done" tools.

Even if you're looking for budget brands, try to get the power tools that use ball bearings instead of bushings. A lot of the cheaper brands use bushings. But after a few heavy duty uses they wear and the tool(s) loses some precision... Cool
