Randy - Great summery! I have been wondering about these high end saws for a while and trying to decide which one is on my wish list. Doing a lot of fret work, kind of points me to Excalibur.
It seems to me that Hawk and Hegner would sell a lot more if they upgraded the blade clap systems. Dewalt, Delta, and Excalibur have it figured it out - why can't they? Am I missing something here or are they?
