We sure are glad to see that someone else is interested in the Makita 13" saw. As Goldilocks said "This one is JUST right." Our joiners would give up several of their 10" saws for just one more Makita 13". We have three in the shop (one ten years old). If we had to chose one saw for the shop, this would be it! Just point us in the right direction. Bonnie and David, Goshen Timber Frames.
