I came across a good deal for a hybrid saw, and couldn't pass it up. I put my DW 745 up for sale on Craigslist and got $175 for it in a matter of hours. The ridgid R4512 was $306 after taxes and was delivered assembled to my house from Burlington in the rain and across my muddy lawn into the shed! I gave the guy $20 and a beer. He saved me at least $12 in gas from Raleigh and i would've lost the day. Kudos to Doug at Direct Tools for using his own car to help me out.
The new saw starts and stops with a nickel balanced on edge and is MUCH quieter. I really like the wheels that are on it too, they let you move in every direction with one hand.
Good bye faithful dw745, served me well for six years. I think i bought it on clearance at Home Depot for $180. In 2007.
