Tony -
I have the old style Ridgid planer and have been happy with it, but for a
sliding miter saw and that kind of money, I'd suggest looking at the DeWalt
DW708, which I have owned (it got ripped off) it was a great saw.... and
the Bosch 4412, which I got to replace the DW. The Bosch has all of the
controls up front which is VERY handy. DO check both of these out so you
have a better view of what's out there. I think that service would be
better w/either of these brands as well. The DW and Bosch make miter cuts
with surgical precision...
HTH, YMMV,

already have M Saw would buy theres in a heart beat.

The Home Depot in Austell Georgia just had it marked down to $434 US. It
was %599 but they dropped the price on the last three they had. I looked at
it but it takes a bench that is almost 48 inches deep to accommodate it.
Make sure that you have plenty of shop space.

Check out Costco. I think they had the Dewalt slider at a reasonable price,
like $800. Saw it in the Red Deer, Alberta store.
