Oh hardscape enlightened ones!
I'm looking to see which cutoff saw is your favorite. Which ones have you owned or tried?
I'm particularly interested in trying a couple of new brands of saw this year - Target looks like they've come out with a nice one. It may have been out a year or two already, and by the looks of the prices that brand of saw is going for on Ebay, I'm thinking they might be worth a shot. They look similar to a Partner saw.
The other saw I'm interested in trying, I'm not quite sure who the mfg is. I believe one company is making these saws as a private label for several companies. I just don't know who the original mfg is. The current cutoff saw offerings by Makita, Wacker, Dolmar and Speedi-Cut are for all intents and purposes identical. Same look, same specs. Only difference is the plastic was dyed a different color and a different label attached.
Those that know me know what brands of saw we run, so I won't jump in with those just yet.
What's the saw that takes the abuse but keeps on cuttin'?
