Makita 5277NB 15 amp 7-1/4-inch Hypoid SawMakita 5277NB 15 amp 7-1/4-inch Hypoid Saw
Buy new: $119.00
I bought this one as a recon just to see if I would like it over a standard wormdrive and so far after 3 months i can't see much of a differance in power or use. that being said i still prefer the Bosch b/c of the direct connect.

Bosch RS20 13-amp Reciprocating SawBosch RS20 13-amp Reciprocating Saw
Buy new: $151.99
I bought this to replace my SAWZALL when it got stolen from a job. I liked the direct connect feature of my wormdrive and thought that it would be great for all my saws to have it. however if i did alot of demo i would have bought the SAWZALL with orbital cutting and not this one since bosch doesn't make and orbital YET. So far a great saw for the money.

great jig saw. cuts very smooth and has never bogged down.
Bosch 1591EVSK 6.4 Amp Barrel Grip JigsawBosch 1591EVSK 6.4 Amp Barrel Grip Jigsaw
Buy new: $162.49 / Used from: $153.99
same as above just with barrel grip. this saw is perfect for a coping foot if someone made one that fits this new model. (collins coping foot doesn't fit the 1591 or 1590)
Hitachi C8FB2 9.5 Amp 8-1/2-Inch Sliding Compound Miter sawHitachi C8FB2 9.5 Amp 8-1/2-Inch Sliding Compound Miter saw
Buy new: $579.99
I have had many chop saws and SMS. in my opinion this is the best. it has great feel and great power. the slide is very smooth and do you really need a 10" blade? you carry this saw up and down stairs on a job and then carry a 10" slider around and let me know what one you would prefer. I can carry this in one hand and my toolbox in another. great saw please never change it.
Bosch 5412L 12-Inch Dual Bevel Slide Miter Saw with Laser TrackingBosch 5412L 12-Inch Dual Bevel Slide Miter Saw with Laser Tracking
Buy new: $851.19 / Used from: $600.00
I bought this saw for my shop b/c i never planned on moving it around since it is a beast. however, if i had to do it again i would have bought another Hitachi C8FB2. Nothing against this saw it is honestly great and I do love it- especially since i never have to move it ;O) but this is alot of saw and is overkill if you don't need the 12" capacity.
