    garhelen,

    I used one at a show in london earlier in the year. They are without doubt high quality machines - and realy come into their own with the included straight edge guides (make sure if you get one to get at leats one guide included). I am still seriously considering buying one, though at nearly €600 it's a very expensive circular saw!

    Hi,

    They had a stand at one of the exhibitions in the RDS, the tools look brilliant especially the straight edge and plunge feature, I am almost sure that saw could be upgraded to a table saw.

    The price is heavy but that depends on the type of use you are going to give them and of course the respect every user has for the tools.

    In one week I had a Hitachi fall from a height and the casing cracked, then a makita was kicked off a scaffold and the plate was bent, it still works but a replacement plate is almost as expensive as new saw.
