I have used the Dewalt for years. I love that saw. It¡¯s got a solid little fence that doesn¡¯t flex because it¡¯s locked down at both ends. I use it all the time.

Since you will give the saw to your dad eventually, then buy the best job site saw, that is a great way to say Thank You.

As mentioned previously, we are about to start the new workshop.? Looking for a stop-gap saw to help with the construction and until I move into the bigger space where I will get another slider.? There will be a full time contractor with his own tools, but I will be helping out and will want to be making things on nights and weekends too over the next year +. ?

Any recommendations for "job site" saw I¡¯ll be able to use for the barn construction and for occasional site work down the road?? I have a track saw so I will be using this TS more for repetitive rips and cross cuts (with sled). ?

I believe that Mac has an Erika and seems to like it?? From what I have seen and heard at the mafell forums, it looks like a fantastic saw.? Any other brand or model recommendations from those that may have a smaller saw in their arsenal or should the Erika be at the top of the list? ?

I also plan on gifting this saw to my dad (we share the shop space) once I get a slider.? He doesn¡¯t have any interest in learning how to use the sliding saw, but since he has so graciously allowed me to move into his shop and now add an addition I want to give him a little thank you and upgrade his 40 year old ¡°job site saw.¡±

thanks so much,?
Anthony?
