...parts are easy to get
That's a huge selling point right there.
What parts have you needed?
...parts are easy to get
These work pretty well
This is what came on the saw I bought - very, very slow - I was afraid I'd overheat the blade or saw motor, as I had to push so hard to make it cut. Plus someone here had warned earlier about these exploding in use.
I also recommend the Milwaukee saw. Be sure to use name brand wheels with ROUND centered blades.
As an aside, my Makita concrete saw equipped with an abrasive wheel makes for quick work when you need to go far afield. Be sure to hold on with both hands !
Farmer, Wow! That saw shelled some "inerds". I'm glad to hear you found a saw to your liking. This is a little off centered but I've posted a link below where Wroughtn Harv has a thread going and he mentions a metal cutting blade that really does the job. He's using it in his worm drive circular saw and he's cutting tubing as well as 1/2" plate steel! He says it's a little pricey but worth the money.
