<p>I bought a sliding miter from Sears that was made in down under. It was made by Globe Tech Industries which bellied up about two or three years ago. I am not having any trouble with it and it goes great it has served me well for the three or four years I had my miter saw.</p>

<p>Look for old tools 10+ years., they have less features but are better made. put some new graphites in the motors some calibration and you;re good to go. Or if you have the big budget: Festool, Protool or Mafell. guaranteed made in Germany. Quality is second to themselves.</p>

i buy a lot of dewalt due to its ability to be easily rebuilt when/if it wears out ridgid would be my next recommendation if you are looking in the 100-700 range .upper level equipment in my opinion is not able to do anything worth justifying the price tag lol i know that will stir up some folks the higher end is built better and last longer but its still a cut lol.one thing to keep in mind is not all of them are dual bevel compound miter saws and sometimes the slide bars just get in the…

The most expensive sliding mitre saw on the market is the Festool 10'' Kapex which is made in Germany by real Germans. Festool make top quality power tools and i buy their stuff when i can, i recently bought their 2-1/2'' power planer which is ideal for door hanging. I have had some horrible experiences with power planes in the past so i checked my new Festool planer for accuracy out of the box. Everything was spot on and the blade changes are simple, no fussing trying to get the blades…

I have had some horrible experiences with power planes in the past so i checked my new Festool planer for accuracy out of the box. Everything was spot on and the blade changes are simple, no fussing trying to get the blades parrallel with the base and with one blade it's idiot proof. It came in a bomb proof sustainer case and an additional table is available so you can invert the planer and turn it into a mini jointer. I have my eye on the Festool cordless barrel grip jigsaw and the new 3-1/2'' random orbit sander. I also own power tools from other manufacturers like Dewalt, Makita and Bosch and these have served me well, if you're willing to pay a bit more and are looking for top drawer tools go with Festool.
