George - saw some of the Ridgid saws in my shopping and they are very nice. Problem is they are about double my price range. I won't bore you with my sad story but I'm trying to get into this hobby on the cheap <g>. I looked at the Craftsman low end stuff and I certainly agree that given a choice there are some things it's silly to try to save money on in the long run. Sigh, the Hatachi (direct drive) seems to have a solid fence so I think I'll give it a go and hope for the best (it also tilts so you can roll it on two wheels to move it around... something that will be handy for me since where I'll use it and where I'll store it are two different places). This "Wood" magazine sounds pretty interesting... think it would help a neophyte like myself on the basics? Cacole - I was in Home Depot yesterday and did not see a Makita 10" saw... sigh, almost impossible to get any help whatsoever at either Home Depot or Lowes so it was just me looking at what was on display. Matt thinks highly of the Makita as well. If you built all of your trestle and bridges with it, it must be very durable indeed. What sizes of finished pieces did you do most of your construction 5/8? 1/2? Best to all, TJ
