|  first time here Hey everyone, Just decided to post my first message. I am an old scroller that has been out of it for a number of years but am getting back into it. About 7 years ago I got burglarized for about 35,000 in tools that included my saws and am just now getting back into a house where I can build my shop back. I have always used Delta'sin the past but am looking for info on what is the best saws out there today and why. Give this Texan a little help and some opinions please. |

 | Hi Snigglefrig, Welcome to the family. I am using a Delta Q-3 40-650 myself. A lot of people are using the Dewalt 788. A lot depends on the money that you are willing to spend. For me a variable speed saw that takes plain end blades is a must. Steve

| Thanks for the info. I have been looking at the Excaliber and the hegner and have been wondering if any of you out there are using them and what you think of them. |

| Either saw of those two would suit you well. Of those two, I would choose the Excaliber,Its a beauty. The other two to consider are the Dewalt 788, and the delta p-20 , both good saws.Paul S on here recently bought a Excal, and hopefully he will chime in. Dale |
