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.
