10 1/4 Circular Saws
I am going to buy a 10 1/4 circular saw and I would like hear the pros and cons from those of you who a have one or used one. I am leaning towards the Big Foots conversion. Thoughts?

Re: 10 1/4 Circular Saws
I've got a Milwaukie 10 1/4" beam saw - it's a must have tool if you work with 4x material or thicker...
pros - it cuts 4x material in one pass, (2) 2x in one pass. cons - ummm.... Hit Tim Uhler up about his Big Foot saws... Mac |

Re: 10 1/4 Circular Saws
No direct drive motors and horsies are everything. For cheap tools look at Grizzly or Jet.

Re: 10 1/4 Circular Saws
I bought a worm drive bigfoot 10" saw and love it. lots of power for cutting our larger beams and then also i use it for cutting headers. we make the headers out of long pieces, and then it's faster to go back later, mark it and cut with this larg saw.
the saw itself is made by bosch. not a bad thing to say about it. |

Re: 10 1/4 Circular Saws
Makita makes a nice 10 1/4" saw with an electric brake....for the big guns they also have a 16 5/16" circular saw if you need big cuts.
