I own a Bosch jobsite saw, it has many good features and performs well.
One of the few negatives are the slots for the mitre gauge. They are well under standard size, and only fit the simple gauge that comes with the saw. That means no ultra adjustable gauges like an Incra etc.
It also means standard accessories like most? featherboards won't fit.?I don't know if it applies to saws in your country, but before buying you should find out if the saw has standard
mitre slots, in case that effects how you might use it.
Also the thicker Euro shaft will prevent you from using standard US,? 5/8" shaft sized saw blades, dado stacks etc.?

thanks for the recommendation!? I will certainly add the Bosch to the list.? I have had been pleased with the Bosch tools in my shop and it is great to hear about your experience as an everyday saw in the field.? Thanks again for taking the time to share!
Best,?

I would check out Bosch's latest offering. I have used two different generations of their jobsite saws, and it exceeded expectations as we do house trim and kitchen installation for Habitat. The fence, riving knife, and extension table just seem to reflect
a quality that we come to expect on a cabinet saw. I assume several brands are made at the same factory these days, but I have found myself throwing yellow power tools away in the last five years. The reliability has been disappointing, but they have been
primarily battery tools so it may not be relevant to your search for a jobsite saw.

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?
