I have read that the Bosch is great at first but the detents get
sloppy real quick.

Hitachi always seems to be solid and used by lots of pro's in cabinet
shops but not as nice ergonimically as some others.

I was doing some shopping in this area recently but was looking for
12". I found the reviews on Amazon under each product very helpful.
Also, when you find a product with little or no reviews you can kind
of assume it isn't selling well, be that what it may.

Reviews on the web tend to favor the Bosch 4410L, then the
Makita, then Hitachi and Ridgid. Does anyone out there have
comparative exprience, especially with the Bosch and Makita?

I have no local dealer for Bosch; HD carries Makita,
and I found I really like the horizontal handle that the other
makers have (vs. the vertical handle of the Makita).

This will be mounted to a rolling stand, and used in the shop --
main desired attribute is accuracy and ease of use and adjustment.
