For a trim carpenter working out of a truck, this would be fantastic. The price is outrageous though. But considering it’s two tools in one, it’s not far off.

It’s European pricing though tools in general are a lot more money over there.

Let me start to say it is sold for about 450 – 500£ in Denmark, do we sell a lot of those.. Nope! ..But why?.. Well.. For about 5 years ago we did, but now the most costumer have a miltersaw and and will rather buy a tablesaw (dw745) then buying the combi saw. The tablesaw is more accurate and not so heavy to move around.

And some history about it is actually a old ELU product I still see them a round workshops

In 1994, DeWalt took over the German wood working power tool producer ELU

I feel like a lot of people would love one of these but I feel like they don’t conform to US safety policies so they don’t sell them in north america.

BIGBEARJTMember since Oct 2014Dec 8, 2014 1:13 AM CT

now make it 3 saws in one, table saw, miter saw, and circular saw and i will be impressed and throw money at it until i get one.

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Dec 8, 2014 2:55 AM CT

I seen that one from Bosch before. They look pretty cool, but I think they would be limited.

Dewalt got the same

I don’t care who makes it but, when you make a combo tool one of the tools will suffer. Lack of power, ease of use, accuratice you will lose something along the way. Call me a old timer but I prefer a tool for one specific job. When I see stuff like this I think Harbor Freight.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Dec 8, 2014 4:11 PM CT

u r right rego
