I do really like the way Ridgid solved the stand/transport problem.

How well does the saw actually work?

How about that dark topic that magazines never review...parts
availability and their cost?

Has anyone had to get parts?

How long did it take, what did they cost and can you get parts for
discontinued saws?

Otherwise great saw may also be an expensive throwaway saw.

As for the DW744 being "kinda portable", do you think the magazine's
opinion would have changed if the DW744 (or Bosch) would have been
mounted on a different stand like the Ridgid stand/cart?
