Hello,
Does anyone out there know anything about a Makita DCS 9010. Anyone own one and would like to share their thoughts and opinions? Thanks

Just for starters;
As far as I know, it doesn't fare too well in the power to weight department vs the MS660 and 395xp, but I have seen several favorable reports on it from owners/users......

I have never used one.

Btw, the Solo 694 is the same saw, and might be cheaper....

True- the power to weight ratio isn't as good but the 9010 is extremely rugged, takes lots of abuse, and is ergonomic- feels good in the cut.
