Makita plunge cut saw
Has anyone tried one out yet?
Makita SP6000K 6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saw at Tools Plus
It's a little less money than the Festool and I need one for the field workers. I'm thinking of grabbing it before the price goes up. I'd like to keep my TS55 in the shop where it's safe

Jason- Pluses, fits festool rails, festool fits their rails. Their rails are a bit cheaper. The Makita has a -2 to 48 degree range, anti-tip thingy but, it is missing a riving knife. Other than that, it would seem to be a good one to put in the hands of the ones who didn't have to buy it.

I don't have one yet, but after watching the demo video on JLC Online ( http://www.jlconline.com/cgi-bin/jlconline.storefront ) it's on my list.
Good Luck
Dave

Only $339.00 right now, almost unbelievable!!

I love mine so far. One week in.
You can't go wrong with the Festool. But... the SPOOOK saw is comparably really well put together, compatable with Festool products, has nice additional features, and a couple hundy cheaper.
No question, as far as I'm concerned.

Hey!! The Makita would make a good muck rail saw for me. I am considering buying their long rail as it is a bit cheaper than Festool's.
All the other bits and pieces are the same price including blades. 35 bucks is pretty cheap for the quality of blade you get for these kinds of saws.
