Default King Mitre Saws

Hi folks, wondering if anyone has any experience with King mitre
saws? Looking to add a 10" slider to the shop, have a makita cms that
i love but can't justify the $ for the makita 10" slider, would love
one but...

Won't be a real heavy use tool, the local lumberyard has the King's on
sale for $289.00- just wondering if anyone has any personal reviews. I
had a King table saw for 15 years and it was a good saw (recently
replaced with a ridgid 3660) but haven't used any of their othe r
tools.

thanks,
mick


I've got a Kobalt $200 SCMS from Lowes. One of the big differences I've
noticed between it and more expensive saws was the lack of a dust
collection port right behind the blade. It's something to watch out for,
especially if you'll be working in a building most the time.
