Due to numerous queries as to where to find the Makita 13" saw I decided to do some investigation into what has apparently become the timberframe tool unicorn. I was told it has not been offered (legitimately) since 84. It is however, still made

Working my way up the food chain at Makita I was able to speak with the gentleman in charge of that product line who said he would not be opposed to campaigning to bring it back if he could find a market for it.
And so this post....
If this is something you are interested in please post a reply and explain why you would like to see this saw available. If you have or have owned one of these saws please post what you like about it.

Our man at Makita will be checking in

Next...the hollow chisel mortiser!!!
