Noel Cleveland (Canadian Makita sales rep) brought one of the new 10" saws to both the ILBA conf in Whitefish, and the TFG conf in Idaho. He said at the time it was only available in Canada. Glad to see we can get it here in the states now. I guess I bought my brown one a year too soon! We still keep the bigfoot around, because sometimes you need a right-hand bevel. The milwaukee is in the "spare parts" crate. What I'm really eager to get is the 13". CB.

Not really relevant,, but wanted to share,, I just bought a new
8 1/4 mag makita. Great saw, but has two faults. One is that the motor housing drops below the plate a full depth cutting (3")
The other is that on less than full depth cutting, the saw is pretty flexible on the plate. Caused kickback a couple of times on me, untill I understood fully what was happening at the end of the cut. Thought I'd share!
