DeWalt DW717
$975.00
Released September, 2008
The Pros:Solid build quality - very little use of plastics. Comparable to a larger 12". Fairly mobile considering its high level of functionality/performance.
The Cons:Stock blade does not do it justice. Poor dust collection - common for DeWalt. Expensive and large for occasional home use.
