where can i buy the makita 10 inch compound sliding mitersaw model LS1011N ?It should sell for around $ 400. thanks for any info. i owned 2 before and i think its a great tool, light and accurate. one more question, is the 12 inch model better than the 12 inch dewalt? i always thought the simpler the tool the better. i checked out the 12 inch Bosch at the woodworkers warehouse and i didnt like it to many bells and whistles. they dont even carry the makita saws i mentioned here. thanks again for your help.

In my opinion, the DeWalt 705, which is the 12 inch chop saw, is the best value around for the money. You can buy them for 300 bucks. As far as Makita goes, the 1013 is a better saw than the 1011 according to the FHB chopsaw review a few months (a year?) ago.
I dunno Bob. The DeWalt 706 looks like it has features worth the extra money over the 705..
