JAWHORSE

The Festool is $100 over the Makita. Not enough to push me away, but I'm just not planning on using it a whole lot. At least not in the foreseeable future.

I like Makita tools a whole bunch. The only ones that have been retired from my arsenal are the 12V drill and saw. The rest are still humming away. Not bad stuff for the dough.

I'm still up in air on the Makita versus Festool track saw. I have a Makita LS1013L SCMS that suits my needs, although I wouldn't give it a A+ for dust collection.

I've had one for a couple of months and was surprised to learn that it is as good as it looks in the infomercials. It really is stable, wish I had the welding attachment, it's on my list.

Your going to love the welding attachment. This is where I got mine. I'm sure you can get them cheaper down there. Glad you like your Jawhorse.

My wife gave me a Jawhorse for Christmas. I had never heard of it or seen one. I do a lot of woodworking and have found it handy for holding pieces for carving and sanding. I'm sure I'll find lots of uses as I get used to having it around.

Another word. Expensive.

However, I think they may have come down in price since Makita and Dewalt have entered the fray.

Not so you'd notice However, the Dewalt and Makita are similarly priced, when you figure in the rails and blades. But yeah, the green and black is quite spendy. I've only regretted one purchase--not because it was a bad product (it's not) but just because I almost never use it.
