the fence looks good, I dont know if i want to buy another saw though. I love the makita 10 1/4 inch saw. The fence only tilts 45 degrees, but overall its a solid saw. Today I bought a 10" CMT cross cut blade for it. i like how it has two locking bolts at either end of the fence. Does anyone know of a fence attachment that attaches to this saw? The guy at timbertools.com has a hitachi saw with custom fence that sits in a nice guide, but again, I dont wanna buy another circ saw. Maybe ill try my luck with the makita 10 1/4" and if it doesn't work, Ill get one of those attachments for a bosch. Thanx for the replies.
